[QUOTE="bramadan, post: 4144489, member: 1064"] I don't give a fig for puritanism and even less for scandalizing the kids. Hell, I wrote the campaign setting and rules to support it where one of the most popular classes is courtesan-assassin and where stuff like seduction and sex are about as common as combat in the actual gameplay. That said, BoEF is a piece of garbage I bought it exactly because I was looking for good, well thought out rules for using sexuality in RPGs. For things like virginity bonuses for paladins, sexual sacrifices for necromancers, seduction rules to match DnD combat rules in complexity, charm and enchant effects (magical and mundane) available to skilled courtesans - generally things to bring sexuality into the context of an adventure game. Instead it was 95% full of such inanities as the "spell to make your dick bigger" and "magical nipple rings". It was a book aimed squarely at the most juvenile segment of DnD market and the fact that it had those "Mature" warnings only made it more so. There was OGL crap before - hell there was some fairly bad WotC stuff as well - but no published book was ever so [i]egregiously[/i] horrible on every level - from good taste to gaming applicability. Subject matter notwithstanding if I were a company I would make damn sure I do whatever I could to prevent such items from ever being associated with my IP again. [/QUOTE]
