I was trying to capture the mood of "Swords & Sorcery" works of fiction and perhaps I went a bit overboard. I'll have to think on this. <br /><br />The "pet" NPC is a more pressing issue. His comments regarding Bothess and her involvement in the storyline (and thus, the PCs) are right on the money. I'll definitely have to keep that in mind in future endeavors.Piperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12770517741281593733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-5385507108235426932009-06-08T12:16:38.664-04:002009-06-08T12:16:38.664-04:00I'm glad I'm not a prude.

In my opinion, much of the sexual content of this module was unnecessary and prurient. Fan of S&S literature that I am, I don't shy away from blood or sex when it serves a purpose in the story. I simply feel that much of the content here served no purpose other than to further glamorize a "pet NPC" whose presence is one of its weakest parts.James Maliszewskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00341941102398271464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-17304496379096053372009-06-07T22:49:46.360-04:002009-06-07T22:49:46.360-04:00Is the art and sexual content here really more &qu...Is the art and sexual content here really more "severe" than what's common in old-school gaming fanzines these days (to include the ones you publish in)? I seem to recall my issues of Fight On! and Knockspell having some illos that even TSR in the 70s wouldn't considered. The incubus sporting an erection is definitely like nothing I'd ever seen before in a gaming book. :)<br /><br />I'm glad I'm not a prude.Will Mistrettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18403399118961902073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-73875374432621984422009-06-04T14:06:48.341-04:002009-06-04T14:06:48.341-04:00Thanks Timeshadows!Thanks Timeshadows!Piperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12770517741281593733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-91651962619052143612009-06-04T13:32:24.607-04:002009-06-04T13:32:24.607-04:00not to be too flippant but...
