    Member Since: May 2000  RK: 12 MP: 5,916      | Saturday August 11, 2012 11:19 AM Finding out today at the local bookstore there is a book for D&D 3.5 about sex. This makes me feel old. If I want to play D&D, I want D&D. If I want to rp sex, I'll go to a chat room!! Death before Dishonor -- Nothing before Coffee Nihil curo de ista tua stulta superstitione |

At least the old "Unlawful Guide to Carnal Knowledge" was.I feel happy...I feel happy! "I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do.

I've lived in Georgia since the before the worldofkrynn.com, ROE.com days. And SL, why are they needed? Why is sex a part of D&D at all? Sex RP is for chat rooms.

Member Since: October 2000 RK: 14 MP: 7,189 | Wednesday August 15, 2012 8:12 PM If you want to know how long elf pregnancies last, how easy it is to knock up a dwarf, ideas on interbreeding beyond 'half-elf', and Fortitude save DCs for STDs, the books were useful. We never needed rules for determing how long someone could last or 'how was it for you?".I feel happy...I feel happy! "I contend that we are both atheists.

Member Since: May 2000 RK: 14 MP: 7,037 | Wednesday August 15, 2012 10:38 PM Yes, I know... The book is roughly ten years old... it was an attempt at humor, pointing out your lack of prior knowledge probably stems from living in a geographical area where RPG books in general, might be hard to come by. Especially one that deals with fornication and interracial breeding.

| Member Since: May 2000 RK: 12 MP: 5,916 | Thursday August 16, 2012 10:40 AM Hell, I've got B&N, and Used bookstores for gaming books. This doesn't help much. I did find it amusing the used bookstore where I found, it had the whole book wrapped in one of those cable anti-theft devices (like Wal*Mart uses on wireless routers in the box).Of course not having anyone to play with except my wife for years hasn't helped me keep current on the D&D game. I just started playing in a game recently, and found I need to get 3.5 books, so trip to the bookstore.... and no one has a 3.5 PHB, but there is the book about sex.... it was a WTF moment to say the least. By the way, why are used D&D books running $25-35 now? Death before Dishonor -- Nothing before Coffee Nihil curo de ista tua stulta superstitione |

Member Since: May 2000 RK: 14 MP: 7,037 | Thursday August 16, 2012 12:49 PM Because they're out of print and still in demand... you should see what old Planescape boxed sets are going for. My group is about Pathfinder now... done by the Piazo dudes who took over the ass-end of Dragon and Dungeon magazines, basically D&D 3.75.

 Member Since: January 2005  RK: 3 MP: 447 | Thursday August 16, 2012 8:41 PM Because playing 4th edition was like playing Monopoly with a Ouija board. The rules were there, but they didn't really work outside of combat. Which really puts a damper on the game. -This message brought to you by Nix, Mercenary to the Grammar Nazi regime My gaming groups new motto: Wet the Sock! (Not as dirty as it sounds) |

Member Since: October 2000 RK: 14 MP: 7,189 | Thursday August 16, 2012 8:49 PM Pathfinder is awesome. Like 3.5 only better, more fun, cooler and more flavorful in just about every way.Sure, they've upped the power level a little (not really enough to make a biog difference in actual power, but makes things far more flavorful, made it a bit safer (all of the old save or die spells now just deal damage, for instance).
