Spinachcat

Quote from: jhkim;811805I think you're mixing me up with Spinachcat. Spinachcat made a claim that the GURPS Wizards cover was there because Sex Sells.

I did, but I am not against the concept that Sex Sells. Though as I stated before, I agree that when I say "Sex Sells", I do mean "Sex Attracts Eyeballs to a Product"

It's a good cover for multiple reasons, but SJG knew what they were doing.

What if we just want to rub dice on his head for good luck? Can we just tiptoe into an alcove for that? Hotel rooms just seem so expensive.

This is probably preferrable...

And that commercial got some flack too. Despite being commissioned by a woman for the convention and not really showing anything.

Quote from: Bren;812484Certainly possible.

Same piece, but the tones arent so bright.



Even with the brighter red. So what? She doesnt even look fully human so maybee its natural? Like the Grens in Gamma World with the green hair.

If you have to debate why the fantasy female wizard doing magic under a mini-dragon has "realistic" hair colors, you might be taking your gaming too seriously.

Someone at a con complained to Barker about how unrealistic it was that there were no blue eyes or blondes in Tekumel.

Non-gaming. But people have bitched about how unrealistic the hair colour was of the Zentran/Meltran. You know, the 30ft tall aliens...

tuypo1

i just had a thought it makes a lot of sense for her to be naked shes in her own home the only reason i wear clothes at home is because i feel the cold maybe she just does not mind the cold
If your having tier problems i feel bad for you son i got 99 problems but caster supremacy aint 1.

Apology\'s if there is no punctuation in the above post its probably my autism making me forget.

Tip: Do not drop in on tuypo1 during a summer heat wave. The risk is too great.

Quote from: Will;811232Sword and Sorcery Studios had a funny conceit for their Scarred Lands setting: arcane spellcasting generated heat.

So the reason why the sorceress is dressed like a stripper is because otherwise she'd fall over from heat exhaustion.

(They also added a special rule that casting spells generated enough heat to protect you from certain amounts of cold weather)

So... Fucking is magic? What?

This forum is great in that the moderators aren\'t jack-booted fascists.

Unfortunately, this forum is filled with total a-holes, including a bunch of rape culture enabling dillholes.

So embracing the \'no X is better than bad X,\' I\'m out of here. If you need to find me I\'m sure you can.

Yep. In the Scarred Lands campaign I ran the arcane caster was a fat hairy dwarf who wore boots and a loincloth most of the time.

One cannot unsee that. :p
Quote from: JonWakeGamers, as a whole, are much like primitive cavemen when confronted with a new game. Rather than \'oh, neat, what\'s this do?\', the reaction is to decide if it\'s a sex hole, then hit it with a rock.

Quote from: Phantom Black;813061So... Fucking is magic? What?

That was actually an element in one of my RPGs. Sex blew off your magic and left mages pretty much powerless for up to a day because it was tied to your life force. Getting pregnant shut off your magic for the duration and getting castrated pretty much ended your career permanently. Doing either by force without good reason was a near guarantee of courting disaster. So instead criminal mages would be handed over to a pleasure cult with some rather novel methods of keeping a caster curbed and not very happy about it either.
