just getting my post in here before this topic gets Nuked 50 bagillion times!!!!!!!!!
anyhow here it is:
i say we take a open field, two sides lined up in rows, D&D on the left, Anime Fanatics right, they will wear thier regular cloths because they should tell the difference between eachother, if not well that sucks for them. each member on both sides gets a choice of 1 weapon, a knife, dagger, a bunny rabbit, a sock, afake lightsaber, and the good oldMACE! with spikes all around it!, each side will have 1 leader, the leader gets armor with specially desinged glasses to keep the glare out and withstand a beating without breaking, they both will be armed with asword and a standard issue M16A2 assault rifle.

Hilarious post, Gem, yet, I can't really see the big issue: What we're facing here is an independent (euphemism for 'broke') publisher trying to apply the oldest marketing strategy known to man ('Sex sells.') to their line of products. Big deal. I'm not even going to invest the effort of becoming upset about this, it's just too trite and forseeable. My condolences to all those who feel the need to buy this book, I'll be over here, ignoring all rules in the SR sourcebook and nonetheless having fun with mature, intelligent people.
Actually, I misposted my reply in the 'The Media Hates Us' thread, realized my mistake, deleted that one, and reposted here, in the appropriate thread. I guess I should just go back to sleep -_-

Just out of curosity, but of the people posting here who has actually seen and read any of it ? I'd bet the figure would be hovering slightly above none.
I read the preview of it and its actually presented quite well. I could see a serious group of gamers into hardcore RPGing getting a lot of use out of this book. On the other hand i'm not going to be using it cos I don't see the need in incoporating a sex angle into my adventures.
Our definition of the word may differ, but all the 'hardcore RPGers' I know are in a constant struggle of <i>reducing</i> the amount of rules in their sessions. A ruleset used for romantic intercourse - by its very nature one of the areas where freeform roleplaying should prevail - is the last thing they'd need.

Hey the guy I leech off has 100+ gigs. Plus the spare hard drives he has lying around his room. There is a heap of stuff out there, and my collection has simply been....trimmed to my tastes. Which means no tentacles, scat or beastality.
