[QUOTE="Arrgh! Mark!, post: 2154404, member: 14559"] What interested me: The fiction in the book either involved homosexual male characters in a feminised role or unsexual powerful women. Lesbian love is mentioned and one picture is shown, but gay pictures are through it (Though tasteful) and more gay males are mentioned. The sample adventure shows a gay male. Only one incident of lesbianism is briefly mentioned amongst the gods. Males are noted several times to wear skirts, while there seems to be no direct masculine clothing attributed only to men apart from tights. (Pants being equal.) Despite the convention of most fantasy artwork, we have amazingly clothed women in powerful or enlightened positions more than anything. Can't remember a single man in a powerful position that wasn't evil or feminised. The only heterosexual male in the game that I can recall is... One of the gods. And he's universally seen to be outranked by his wife, excepting one race of bigoted idiots. The picture of the GM was a girl. If thats not a motivator for girls, what is? Don't say that male geeks are bigoted. The fluff in this book is written for a geek feminine base. Thats the HP or LOTR slash-loving fanfiction Authoress with an open fascination with the male body and a jealous affliction to any other woman other than themselves in those positions. If marketed properly, this book could get more geek girls roleplaying than anything else, especially gender neutral players handbooks run by overweight nerds giggling at breast jokes. The crunch is good, the evil sorcerers finally allowed to be more powerful with the more evil they are. The fluff is interesting, but not to my taste. Thats why I'm giving it to my GF, who I predict will either love or loathe it. Blue Rose is D+D for girls. That doesn't mean it's bad. It means I'll try it and see. [/QUOTE]
