[QUOTE="mxyzplk, post: 4142226, member: 16450"] Yeah, Gwendolyn Kestrel, she's credited with a large number of post-BoEF WotC works - MMIV, Howling Horde, Races of the Dragon, etc. [url]http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url?%5Fencoding=UTF8&search-type=ss&index=books&field-author=Gwendolyn%20F.%20M.%20Kestrel[/url] I also don't have a problem with the BoEF. People that say "oh it reflects poorly on the hobby" need to be neutered so they don't reprodce. RPGs are a medium. Like books, TV, movies, comics, etc. I bet most of the people that say "Oh Lawdy a RPG book with :):):):):):):)!!!" go to see R-rated movies, etc. Choice is good. If you only want G-rated fantasy, you can go see Bridge to Terabithia, read Daffy Duck comics, and buy Races of Fluffy Bunnyness. If you want R-rated fantasy you can go see Conan the Barbarian, read Transmetropolitan, and buy the Book of Erotic Fantasy. Viewing all d20 as some comprehensive body of work that you need to guy into all of is ridiculous and no one but people against the BoEF ever claim it's a good idea. This is another reason for openness. Even the level of gore found in the Rise of the Runelords Pathfinder series would run afoul of WotC's baby-friendly "content standards", which are just as execrable as the old comics code. [/QUOTE]
