For a change I'll review a copy of an independent production for d20/D&D 3.5 system: the "Book of Erotic Fantasy" a little pearl in a sea of mediocrity, at least concerning the plethora of books and supplements for this always popular game system.
I must warn you, I'm not a great fan of the d20 line of products (see my entry for "Encyclopedia Vanguard" for more) but I'm more than willing to give credit where credit is due. I first learned of this book after reading a little known PDF from the same author(s) dedicated to GURPS: GURPS Sex precisely.
It was a very professionally made "supplement" regarding sex in a role-playing context seen from every facet possible in a serious-to-humorous kind of way and very interesting to read. Obviously, it was "for adults only"...
This book is no exception, is a "sequel" of sort, only dedicated to the D&D/Fantasy setting.
First things first, the book is lavishly illustrated, full colors and realized with excellent materials, from glossy paper to a very strong hardbound cover.
The illustrations (all photograph sporting models with make-up and costumes aptly made and with a good use of CG for backgrounds and other details - like the wings and horns of the various faeries and/or demons) are well made and never out of context. The text format is elegant but still fully understandable. Due to its strong emphasis on fantasy, the book shows all the possible relationships between adult members of the various races: human, elf, orc, dwarf and others, including what happens when the partner is "not so human" (god, demigod, dragon, fairy, demon or devilkin and so on). Half breed and crossbreeding is fully analyzed and rules for intercourse and pregnancy are provided. There is even a chapter on "sexually-related" creatures, magic items and other paraphernalia, always sex-related. Even this book is classified as "for adults only" and it's very, very serious when dealing with the more delicate aspects of sex, like homo/bisexuality, bondage and/or sado-masochism, STD etc.
All in all, I strongly suggest this book to everyone interested in a serious yet entertaining study of sexuality in a role-playing context. Be advised that the "Book of Erotic Fantasy" needs mature readers for a mature treating of the matter, no frat-house-party humor around here, so, if you're looking for soft porn, please stay away. On the downside, with a price of $34,99/23,57/£17,76 isn't exactly your "cheap buy of the week" but, in my humble opinion, the book it's worth any buck you put in it.

I'd heard about the book before I bought it...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 18, 2012

And it was pretty much what I'd heard to expect.
Fans of AD&D will recognize the format, an intro, character classes, archetypal personality descriptions, spells, magic items and an index. All oriented toward "Sex and D&D".
Mind you, not sex between players (the real human beings sitting around the game table).
Sex between the game characters, the numerical stats usually with an illustration and a brief description of personality and history that "old school" gamers used in the dark ages (you know, before the days when video games allowed you to animate those characters) to play "adventurers" in a fantasy world. Profusely illustrated by photos of people in skimpy, vaguely D&D style outfits, it ends with a comic by Phil Foglio (who's "Phil & Dixie" comic graced the pages of "Dragon" magazine for years and always promised to have a "sex and D&D" comic "in the next issue") that makes up for not having the budget to get actual line and paint artists to illustrate the rest of the book.

The new character classes are well thought out and balanced, and the ideas of how different creatures (elves, dwarves, orcs, etc.) as well as alignments (good, evil, chaos and law) would view sex make sense in the game world.

The biggest flaw is that I can't imagine thinking of sex, while sitting across the gaming table from 90% of the AD&D gamers I've played with. The few "hot babes" I've seen in the games were obviously not interested in me, and if you're into "role playing (acting) instead of roll (dice) playing" the thought of getting into a detailed description of an erotic encounter in your average gamer group is....eew! Even for an avid D&D'er like me.

So I don't regret the price because of the entertainment value. I just don't expect to actually use it in a game. Worth it for a laugh, or collectors item.

The books is very humorous and a ton of fun to pass around the table during a gaming session. How useful is it to you and your campaign is really up to you. In our group it is mostly an idea book, as well as one to add depth to the world we are in. We do not really apply the new classes and rules in our campaigns, but there are a lot of fun ideas in this book. STD's, pregnancy, contraception, fun new prestige classes with very specific new abilities, spells that can be pretty twisted in the wrong hands, and new items/toys that can be a lot of fun.

On the downside, this book not likely be a very important addition your DnD library. The subject matter is very adult, and I don't just mean because there are some nude pictures. The book also covers most of the major taboos, and if that's not cool with you, then don't buy it. Also, I'd imagine most role playing groups have probably independently run into a lot of the scenarios covered in the book and have found perfectly good solutions on their own. It is a bit pricey for a book that I suspect will be seldom used in most groups.

While this manual is not integral to the D20 system, it actually fits in quite well into the rule system. The rules suggested in the Book of Erotic Fantasy are easily applied to any game. I recommend this book to any old hand at D20 games that could use a bit of inspiration to spruce up their game and don't mind getting a little greasy.

Rollenspiel-Ergänzung der anderen Art

Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on December 8, 2006

Das "Book of Erotic Fantasy" ist aufgebaut wie die meisten Zusatzbücher zum d20 Rollenspielsystem: Es enthält neue Basis- und Prestigeklassen (z.B. den Tantristen), neue Zaubersprüche für alle Klassen, neue Gegenstände (z.B. "Rüstung", die man auch zu Bett tragen kann), neue Gottheiten und Monster. Sogar neue Krankheiten gibt es - natürlich alle sexuell übertragbar. Dabei dreht sich alles um ein Thema: Liebe und Sexualität (naja, eher um zweiteres).

Es wird beschrieben, wie man Sexualität, Heirat und Schwangerschaft in das Fantasy-Regelwerk einbauen kann. Im ganzen ist die Umsetzung dieser Idee recht gut gelungen, jedoch können die meisten Fantasy-Abenteuer auch ohne auskommen.

Im Gegensatz zu vielen Zusatzbüchern enthält dieses statt gezeichneter Fantasy-Abbildungen Fotos in Fantasysettings, die eine erotische Ausstrahlung vermitteln sollen (und viel nackte Haut zeigen).

Zusammenfassend ein origineller und amüsanter Zusatzband zur "Natürlichsten Sache der Welt", der aber nicht in jedes Abenteuer leicht einzubauen ist.
