This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Not breasts. It was the soft, flowing tabard!

Quote from: Sarah Dark MagicTo me, the purpose of the tabard is to soften her and to play cat and mouse with the viewer. The pose is opened up to give greater access to her inner thighs but the "money shot" is hidden behind the soft, flowing tabard.

Fuck man. Now I'm all hot and bothered.

Seriously, I am not an inclusive gamer. I don't go out of my way to offend, and I tend to run a PG-13 rated game.
But I have no issue with big boobs and bare midrifts and typically feminine portrayals of women. I just am not limited to them.
If that bothers someone, they can go find another group more to their tastes. And gnaw at each other with their issues and hangups.

That article trying to sexualize Aleena just makes me laugh.
The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

Trying to appease those that clearly full of self-loathing (i.e. Sarah Dark Magic) is a fool's errand. The only proper answer to her not feeling the art was inclusive of her is "that's because the harpy is in the Monster Manual."

Just for having to read her idiocy, I'm gonna make sure to add an extra image of a hot sorceress type in skin-tight leather to my system book's list of needed artwork.

;D ;D ;D Thanks, I needed the laugh. 'Hot Sorceresses in Skin-tight Leather' should be a game title, just to make people's heads explode.

Isn't that one of the expansions for Kung-Fu CB Mamas on Wheels vs. the Aztec Motorcycle Wrestling Nuns?

Now TBH in terms of those old graphics of Aleena I have to agree in general judgement with this Sarah WhateverMagic - this costume is maybe tame compared to some most rampant examples, but ultimately it's ridiculous.

She was created by Frank Mentzer and drawn by Larry Elmore, she was going to look good regardless.

What's fascinating is the level of... repulsion, I guess? Shown by these morons. Still wonder how Elmore's avoided getting canceled, but then beating up (verbally at least) an old guy who's considered one of the patron saints of RPGs might not look very righteous.


Abraxus

Well it was nice to see the outrage brigade show themselves to not have a clue then try and make up excuses while also using mental health issues as a shield from their stupidity. You want to change your body go for it. Don't expect anyone to take you seriously when one is offended by a puppet of all things then wonder why everyone is making fun of your stupidity.

Larry Elmore and Clyde Caldwell were the epitome of D&D art for me back in the 80s.  I guess I'm dating myself...

I have a copy of The Complete Elmore, autographed by the man himself at Dragoncon a few years back.

You know, they bang on about how terrible that 80's art was (and yeah, some of it was silly), but it wasn't near as cringy as some think it was.

Ah, Tracey Hurley. I remember how I utterly roasted her for that when she first published it.  She's a complete garbage human who engaged in vicious slander against me

I missed that one, mercifully. But over on BGG as noted before theres been outcries over everything from showing the midriff to showing any skin at all practically. These types allways descend into ever more insane hoops they want everyone to jump through or be censored.

He probably has come under fire. Just not as openly far as have seen aside from the Aleena thing. Back in the 90s the prior wave of this stupid would occasionally try to go after him but TSR/WOTC didnt kowtow then.

I think my favorite part is where she nitpicks the hair, saying she'd opt for a ponytail. As if this genre isn't full of art of tons of dudes with impractically long, flowing locks, too.

Fine. What can I say. I was destroyed by mysterious Lodge of weapon/armour realistists, and spend way too time discussing how almost all A Song of Ice and Fire warfare and fighting is bad.
