Over 50 people responded and received the guide. Some people disliked the guide and stated their opinions on the discussion list, and others rebutted their complaints. Below is the argument that took place. COMMENT I'd like to address all of those out their who insist on creating these insane articles on how to 'role-play' sex. Now I've tolerated a lot of crazy things on this list and mostly just delete them if I don't want to read them (and sometimes post a message about it without trying to flame anyone). This however is just to dumb and crazy I can't stand it. I don't want to have to 'delete' it... I mean lets take a closer look at this for a second. First off I'm sure many of you have had those silly encounters where your group felt like being goofy and some characters had sex, and perhaps some of you have had serious encounters about this sort of thing to go along with the story of the campaign. But... I think it's really ridiculous that someone might think we could use a guide on how to role-play sex. Granted sex is very important... but God man... we don't need freaking articles on 'how to do it' because if we don't know already we have no business 'doing it' in the first place.... game or otherwise. I've been playing for several years... and I've encountered stories and spot adventures of sex.... but I never encountered crazy junk like THIS in all 10 years of playing until I kept seeing articles like this last one. Now maybe some of you out their have a different opinion... if so... lets hear it... I'd like to know WHY we should have guides on HOW to have SEX in RPGs because I think they are personally a waste of space and just tell me how much time that person had free on his hands to write such a ridiculous article in the first place. Thank you for your time. --- Your friendly neighborhood Anti-Paladin Nomed 'the Accursed' COMMENT I have taken the time to read the aforementioned Guide to RPG sex. It is your game, play it the way you want to. If you have fun with it, then more power to you. I find the whole thing infantile and lacking any merit whatsoever. The whole sophomoric tone led to initially believe it was a joke. Perhaps it still is. --- Ristonofer On high ground, donning the asbestos. COMMENT Come on now, the author of the sex guide was making an attempt at adding something to the game and all of a sudden, out of the woodwork, comes friggin' Siskel and Ebert of literature. Give the guy a break. I haven't completely finished reading the "guide" but come now. People have the right to compile what they like. Ristanofer (sp?): is it truly infantile to experiment?? I see nothing very wrong with it. I think that we should give the guy a break. From what I read, he isn't the only one who helped compile it. There are many others. Are you and the lady (*I'm sorry but I forgot her logo*) going to hunt all of these people down and flame them?? I think not. I think that the best thing y'all can do is mellow out and let someone hang themselves with the newly created length of rope, and if they do not, well, wish them luck. P.S. that was IMHO, of course. And if you must, flames are welcome. P.P.S. but I prefer not to see any. --- DeathWish COMMENT I must agree with Deathwish about the sex guide. This discussion list is a forum for presenting ideas. Not those ideas that are good or those ideas that are bad but all ideas. What may be junk to one person may be a gold mine to another. I can see nothing wrong with offering the guide to the net on the chance that someone may feel it is useful. Obviously someone felt so or the author would not have had all the collaboration on the project from fellow list members. If you have a problem with someone's work send them private e-mail before flaming them before the list. IMHO. Greg Dillingham COMMENT I, too, have read the guide. I find it humorous, but of the "Did you hear the joke about the girl with HUGE ...", etc.. It's REALLY infantile (although most of the jokes that truly make me laugh are as well) and I think you're either going to hate it or love it. Me, I'm afraid I hate it. Well done, but I think the original idea was... (I'm gonna duck the flame after this) lame. Yers, Greg (Malek) COMMENT As one of the people who made some (minimal) contributions to the guide, I must say the following. While you may not like some parts of the guide, find them infantile, etc., I am sure that there is something in there for every GM. Even if you do not like 99% of it, that last 1% is going to be something that will make your eyes light up, and start the wheels of your mind turning. Read it before passing judgement. 'Nuff Said on the subject....happy dice rolling. COMMENT Well I should say read the guide or give it at least a good look before you start saying things like that! It's not just to tell ya how to do the thing but it's to add more flavor and much more fun on this subject. Yes you should really give it a look. It's full of really nice/funny/wonderful/weird ideas. The developers where all very surprised of what became of the Guide and I Think many of you will also be very surprised if you take a look! Don't think that because it's related to this subject called Sex that it's bad stupid or useless. It certainly ain't an 'Escape from Reality' (or whatever you wanna call it) to have some fake Sex! (...because you don't get enough in your own life.....aahhhwww What a pitty....Oooppss I'm sorry) I really wouldn't wanna trade places with the PC's who were gonna be involved with those rules. Yeah take a look at those real nasty diseases and neat Kiss Spells! You certainly don't wanna be subject of most of those!!! The Guide is there just to add more Fun and fresh ideas to this wonderful game. I have to admit that I first thought it was a stupid idea too but then I saw some nice ideas and joined the developers in making it a nice ***FREE*** good developed product! --- Vinnie Okay I'll now put on my Protection from fire again and wield my Frostbrand so come-on with those Flame Throwers! But Don't try to barbecue me when you didn't gave a good look at the Guide! First look & read before you start Flaming the Thing (yeah You can't start a fire on something if you do not really know what it is! It could be either Alcohol or Water! he he :) And I guess you don't wanna waste your flamethrower on the water! COMMENT Valiant Comrades, Regarding the uproar about the Sex Guide, I agree with the supporters, and to the critics I have to say LIGHTEN UP! If you don't like the principal of the guide, then simply refrain from using it. Even the Dungeon Master's Guide isn't written in stone. Besides, there is some useful stuff in there. Any GM who can't find creative uses for an Houri NPC should have his proverbial licence revoked. And, no matter how you view an RPG, it is still ONLY A GAME. If someone takes offence to the principal or content therein, perhaps a different hobby is in order. --- Hall-ee-mor Dargess COMMENT How come I never got a copy of the sex guide? I asked for one. Can someone send me a copy please. Sure, it may seem a little silly or stupid, but it can't hurt. I'll read it then decide if I want to use it. There's probably something in it for everybody. What ever happened to free expression? Some people are so oppressive! --- Auston COMMENT MiXeD iN tHe hEaD I believe it! > I'd like to address all of those out their who insist on creating > these insane articles on how to 'role-play' sex. Now I've > tolerated a want to read them (and sometimes post a message about it > without trying to flame anyone). This however is just to dumb and > crazy I can't stand it. You "can't stand it" ?!? You have some personal problem with other people's creativity? You may not share others sense of humor and they may not respect your morals, but this is a public access list. You seem to indicate it should be censored! Now step back and realize that other people, myself included, are mature enough to moderate 'use of sex' in our own games. Some of these articles have had some good ideas, while all of them at the very least are intended to be taken light- heartedly. So have fun with it, or just ignore it. > adventures of sex.... but I never encountered crazy junk like > THIS in all 10 years of playing until I kept seeing articles > like this last... I dunno who you've been gaming with... But the college students I have played with have done much "worse" than this list's "Guide to Sex." Of course like any other "rules for RPGs" the sex stuff is just a tool. Suggestions...and most of all a good laugh from some creative gamers who defiantly have a grip on the real world. Think about sex-education through role-playing games :) One must learn that if his promiscuous paladin doesn't wear his "ring of protection" (and I don't mean the one on worn on the hands...) that he may pick up some nasty effects, possibly magical! Eeeooch! With the slightest bow and tip of his hat, the Rogue steps back into the night... COMMENT You guys need to grow the fuck up. Go out and buy a Hustler or two and figure out what you really should play with, besides yourselves. Notice "elves" in there! *** CENSORED *** --- Taipan COMMENT Some time ago I was told of the sex guide by a friend and didn't believe him. Anyway, I started searching for it on the net and finally found it. It's GREAT!!!!! The rules are very interesting considerations to have in mind and add more spice to the campaign (at least mine). You can use the rules to make the adventure much more interesting and funny. I also read some people's comments and I have something to tell them: if there is anything crazy around it's them. Just because something involves sex doesn't mean the world will tear apart. It's as if someone had complaints about excessive violence in the game (is there anyone with this opinion?). We are living in a world where sex is being taken much worse than the way the guide presents it, it's one of our defects, so why try to hide it? This work has made me understand many things I hadn't thought of (really). It's so sarcastic that it gives food for thought (I'm sorry some people didn't notice). I'll talk about this work with many people, and once again thanks, you did a cool job :). --- M. Santeli -----------------------------------------------------------------------
