WotC Responds!!!

[Artimoff]

Great point. Are they really saying what they mean, or are they just *wink* *wink* covering their butt.

I predict that NO butts will be covered in this book

Well waddayaknow? Hehe. The address for Valar is really close to where I lived 6 months ago, but I'm probably like 20 blocks away now. Still fairly close. Mmmm....Wallingford Pizza House. Not way out in Renton like WotC is.

Since when are press releases required to abide by the terms of either the OGL or the d20STL? Only the products published under the terms of those licences have to abide by those same terms. Everything else is fair game.

 

[S'mon]

I thought WotC's statement was reasonable. Of course there remains the possibility that this is all a plot to stir up interest in 3.5e.

I wonder if someone's job might be in danger

That's exactly what I was thinking. But AV isn't stupid, so one would assume he thought all the implications through ahead of time.

I'll agree with Eric though. The whole thing is wierd.

I hope that WOTC does amend the OGL because of this product. It would be a terrible shame if anyone's first impression of D&D were coloured by this product.

Oh, come on.

If this product is bought by one percent of one percent of people playing D&D, it'll be a huge, breakout success. In other words, very, very few people will even hear of it. This book (tasteless as it sounds) isn't going to ruin the hobby for anybody.

My $0.02 worth...

...and you may even get change back... is that this product may, in fact, turn out to be a very good product. Sexual relationships (and by this, I mean more than the physical mechanics of the situation) are relatively complex and (sometimes) confusing things. And so some simple guidelines for how to handle this sort of thing in play could be a welcome sight.

GURPS has had, for a long time, the web publication GURPS SEX produced by Christine Morgan and it is a tasteful, mature and well written supplement I have put to use in my GURPS games from the day I first discovered it. If this book is handled with even half of the maturity and class that Christine Morgan put into her work, then I feel it may actually be worth picking up.

That would be my thought.

I wonder if someone's job might be in danger

I don't think they can legally fire him, however he may be the janitor by the end of the week....

Re: Re: Re: Cut from the WotC press release...

You missed the point... I was trying to turn the press release into a parody commercial for the BoVD. I guess I'm not very funny today.

If it makes you feel any better, I got it. And thought it was pretty funny.
