Sex in RPGs Ep104

Two deviously hot chicks, booze and a dagger… nope, nothing could go wrong here!

“Be fair, alright. Everyone wants Mr. Toad’s wild ride.” No truer words were ever uttered in modern culture. Being one of the greatest motivators in human history, is sex given fair treatment in RPGs?

Is it skewed because of the historical demographic of the roleplaying gamer or simply a product of the fantasy/ sci-fi tropes that inspired many of the early RPGs? Is the increase of females playing the game changing that perspective?

We weigh in with our take on it.

Epic Ep103

If you have a player who uses this picture as an inspiration for his epic level character, beware!

There is definitely an art to high level play. To some that art is masterful with a broad scope and memorable set-piece encounters. To others, it’s fecal fling art.

 

Whether you loathe it or love it, epic level play is something you should experience once in your gaming career.
