[QUOTE="Lord Zardoz, post: 3984169, member: 704"] I did not say new gamers. I said new consumers, which in a literal sense, is true. A better statement, I think, is that erecting new barriers to young gamers does not really create any significant advantage that I can think of. Having a standards clause is a good way to keep the D&D game from becoming associated with content that could negatively impact the game in regards to its availability to new young gamers. I will state, for the record, that I do not think it is a good idea for Wizards of the Coast to outright prohibit game material dealing with sexual content. I also think it is a bad idea for Wizards of the Coast to let a 3rd party publisher attempt to sell thinly veiled pornography by throwing a D&D / d20 logo on their product. As was noted by someone else in this thread, I do not think there is any real benefit to the game for adding things to the game like a 'Perform(Oral)' check. But adding rules for 4th edition covering seduction via social encounter mechanics? That could be useful. END COMMUNICATION [/QUOTE]
