Only if they have ID showing they're over 21.

I certainly would hope to be proven wrong, but something feels 'off' to me..Something sure is "off."
Nobody plays Rolemaster.
But, we incorporated crit tables from some Rolemaster RPG tables the first time I played Dragonlance. Of course, that was back in summer of '89.

I don't really think it's fair to judge someone because they say "Big Kisses" or "giggle" a lot in their messageboard postings. It's really not much different than using emoticons is it? I happen to like softcore, adult entertainment ladies. And when they also happen to have an interest in my favorite hobby; I count that as a really cool thing!
I trust the likes of James Sutter and Erik Mona to judge a poster's relevancy on their boards.
I just keep hoping Christy Canyon and Taija Rae play D&D too!!!!
Were the "woad" strokes on all the pics to begin with? Although I like woad, I think the pics were better w/o them. :(

In the IT department I work in, you need to have discovered a security breach in order to warn people about it. We typically suspend access immediately, start investigating a fix, and then simultaneously warn people who need-to-know (in that order) to minimize exploits. Certainly such breaches are not publicly disclosed until after the situation has been rectified. As such, I find it rather unlikely that something as basic as validating/reseting the credentials for everyone with access to the site's file system would not have taken place.
That's not to say it isn't impossible, or that the webmaster isn't simply bored, it just seems unlikely to me that Jenny Poussin is being impersonated by a hacker. What harm would such hacking bring to her? Using a few more megs of bandwidth on her website? Adding a few more friends she didn't want to her Facebook? Two-dozen pics being seen without anyone paying for them? *shrugs*
On a more general note (and not related to Heathy's post):
Other than a few husbands with bad-timing, I don't think anyone's gotten hurt, right? I'm also not sure there's even the *potential* for any personal injury besides bruised egos. IMO there's not a sufficient "threat" to justify a level of caution that preclude giving a stranger the benefit-of-the-doubt over the short term...

I've no complaints with Jenny.
It seems that defending the young lady only seems to encourage the cynics in the crowd to think that people are perhaps doing so for baser reasons. And that further, this must suspiciously be some scam or self-promotion on her part. I can't speculate on that.
However, I would like to point out that her postings started with this thread.
Please note, that thread was started yesterday (before any photos or images were even revealed) as a request for help with RPGs and getting more information on gaming. Other than saying she was French(-Canadian)and was newer to gaming, I don't believe anyone who welcomed her initially knew who she was; speculated on what she looked like; or generally really cared what she did for living. I would say people just wanted to give a warm welcome to a new player and forum member.
I can only speculate that the positive response she received is what may have encouraged her to be more open and enthusiastic in this thread and in wanting to play Pathfinder.
I point this out because it seems like some folks are coming to this thread first, and are immediately suspicious of the OP's intent. I understand the nature of the images, but would there be this kind of speculation if it was guy in a barabarian costume or dressed as Valeros; or someone's uncle dressed as Ezren; or Grandma dressed up like Gandalf?
This thread is already off the rails thanks to the Sock Puppet. Nevertheless, apologies for probably encouraging further derailment.
Hey dudes - I think most everybody's on board at this point, but I would like to point out one last time that further "speculation" on whether or not Jenny is a real person is not in keeping with our boards' near-legendary welcoming atmosphere, and henceforth will not be tolerated.
If you think she's real - good! You're right.
If you think this is all some crazy hoax and she's a sock puppet, you're entitled to that belief, but that doesn't excuse you from the rules of social etiquette, which include not repeatedly challenging someone's basic existence when they're trying to have a conversation.
Don't make us throw down and start deleting posts. We welcome everyone here. Even Rolemaster players.
(P.S: On something of a side note, does everyone remember when Buzz Aldrin totally decked that moon landing skeptic? That was awesome.)

James Sutter? Hah! As though James Sutter would actually post on the Paizo boards—don't insult my intelligence!
James Sutter..isn't he fictional?(Go ahead and groan as much as you like folks)
I welcome Jenny to Paizo. I certainly hope she isn't scared away by the things that are said in this thread. I just don't like feeling I'm reading advertisements.

To be fair, marketing types are getting more and more sophisticated in their methods, this link, for example I thought was very convincing (at least for the first paragraph). I was very amused by the small font disclaimer at the bottom:

One of my favourite moments in the advocation of my field. We need more like him when it comes to budget discussions ;)
WOW! Just got home (its 5am here: crazy friday night!) and I see I raised a storm of posts! giggle
I m dead tired but i ll try 2 answer a few things:
1 - the NUDITY part: First I really wanna apologize to Lisa and all the people that work at Paizo for posting nudity here, even if it was artwork. I know it can get a company in trouble (minors and all that). I ll be eXXtra careful about it in the future!
About nudity, erotism (is that a word?) and all that, I just wanna say its a HUGE part of my life and I of course put in my playing too! If that bothers, insults people in wat they think, or anything like that, tell me I wont push it on you (indirect mess here 2 the people i might be playing with in mi PbP try out of the Pathfinder system!)
I dont know if anyone here saw the HBO series ROME. 4 me its a BIG inspiration for playing in RPG. ROME is full of sex, and not just teen movie PG rated movie sex. hardcore stuff all the way! me i LOVE that cuz life is like that: there is LOTS of sex! its a huge part of people and who they are and wat they think! in mi humble opinion it shuld be like that in RPG too! becuz people make decisions based on SeXX all the time, 2 keep it away from RPG wuld just make a world "fake" in mi mind! and wen i see hardcore seXX in ROME i m not thinkin: hey dats cheesy or out of place stuff!
2 - the REAL NOT REAL THING: i post anywhere on the net now and i get that! giggle FAIR enough cuz there ARE lots of fakers, i know that very well (check jenny poussin in FB yul find more the one! someone even did a FAKE paying website of me! something that ends with .org!)
normali i m realli NOT bothered by all of it but this time i wanna make sure i prove mi ID, specialli 4 anyone who might be playing with me or givin me RPG advice online (i dont want those people 2 feel they r treated as suckers in any way!)
fortunateli it seems like this is a small world: alreadi some people here know some of my major work partners (like the people at BodyZone: i have a clothing line with them called Naughty SeXXy by Jenny Poussin) I ve offered privately 2 send some personalized signed material.
wen people email me (on mi website or anywhere) i always offer 2 send me anything (like pics or mags) and I ll mail it back signed or with a personal note. wuld love 2 do that here 2 anyone who as doubts (or wh just wants it). mess me through FB or anywhere 2 get in touch and i will be happy 2 tell you where u can send me stuff like a pic that will sign and write any personal message for you! :-)
Oh and that reminds me: there are a million places i m officialli there on the net like FB, MySpace, ModelMayhem, OMP, etc... for those that doubt mess me to ANY place i am on the web and see if you get an answer that says: wait a second, that person at Paizo is a faker
last thing: i wanna offer all those i ll be playin with (Calix's PbP game) a lil signed 4x6 sayin hello and ThanX 4 showin me the rope!
3 - the CONSPIRACY theory about using RPG as advertisin!: now that s the funnist one i read here! that s like oliver stone stuff! 2 things i can say about that. ONE is if you really wanna check my interest in RPG and fantasy in general, please go ahead and talk 2 guys like Bruce Colero, Tony Mauro, Joel Adams, Armando Huerta, Monte Moore, i m sure i m missing a few in that list to! (sorri) those are pros who have a reputation about this. they know me and will tell u. TWO: for mi work u guys (gamers) are NOT mi target clients at all! wen i wanna advertize 4 work i post in forums like freeones, ABC celebs, forums like that. i get zillions of hits from a lil post in places like that! for more general personal promo stuff i post on MySpace, FB, Twitter, etc ... anyone here who knows even a lil about internet marketing will know wat i m talkin about: using forums like here wuld make absoluteli no sense!
WOW hat was BIG effort for 6am in the morning with a couple of shooters still goin thru my system! giggle
Big Kiss
Jenny
its 6h30am now! it took me 1h30 to write mi last post!!!
see wat u guys have done? giggle
ONE LAST THING: I m buying my first Pathfinder book later today (the core rulebook)!
OFF 2 BED! :-)
For starters, welcome to this zany community!
If I may ask, where exactly does the doubt lie anyway?
That Jenny Poussin, fitness, lingerie and adult model, could not really be a roleplayer? Or that Jenny Poussin, fitness, lingerie and adult model, could very well be a roleplayer but she would not really post here?
Just asking out of curiosity.

Jenny
Welcome Lady to the craziest and most inspirational message board around. If you have any questions after getting the book just post here and you will get more answers than you might want. Have fun is the rule of the day. Enjoy!
LAST LAST THING before I go to bed: some guys gave me on FB the idea 2 do one of those OTD pics!
I ll do that 4 you guys as soon as I dont look like something the cat dragged in! giggle
SLEEPY TIME!
Well, a simple NSFW will do.
About what is appropriate: Depends on the company really. There's probably companies who don't give a damn whether you look up hardcore bestiality (sorry: interspecies erotica ;-)) while you wait for your source code to compile, while others will go apeshit over someone looking at a picture of someone in a bathing suit or something like that.
Of course, some companies outright forbid private surfing at work (like mine does. I don't know whether I'd get into trouble, but I don't take my chances.), so I personally wouldn't mind if you posted a link to some hardcore orgy (we really need .orgy to identify things by url, now that I think about it) here, because I don't visit the site at work and I have no kids who could look over my shoulder while I unwittingly open some stuff they're too young for. (Of course, there's stuff out there that I'm too young for - because I think it should be illegal to show it to someone below the age of 100 - and then only when supervised by their parents! That reminds me: I haven't really punished a certain someone for sending me that "the flesh must be cleansed" video, and he'll be here in 3 hours to play PF.....)
But since this page attracts all kinds (including the young and the working), I'd say the general rule of thumb is "put NSFW or at least potentially NSFW with some general description about what is shown whenever you're about to post something that you wouldn't expect to see people do in a normal business office building.")
And by the way: Nice pictures. Amiri has some competition it seems. ;-)
Speculations of legitimacy aside (I think Jenny is Jenny, and that is good enough for me). I think Jenny raises a very good and important point:
I dont know if anyone here saw the HBO series ROME. 4 me its a BIG inspiration for playing in RPG. ROME is full of sex, and not just teen movie PG rated movie sex. hardcore stuff all the way! me i LOVE that cuz life is like that: there is LOTS of sex! its a huge part of people and who they are and wat they think! in mi humble opinion it shuld be like that in RPG too! becuz people make decisions based on SeXX all the time, 2 keep it away from RPG wuld just make a world "fake" in mi mind! and wen i see hardcore seXX in ROME i m not thinkin: hey dats cheesy or out of place stuff!
She is on the money here, and I think it is sad that it's so difficult to have mature games. There is an awkwardness that some players experience when other players initiate intimate encounters - and a general shock and dismay if taboo topics like rape are raised.
...but genocide, goring, pillaging, desecration, pacts with devils and so forth are par for the course.
This is a shame - as I think some of my more memorable characters certainly straddled the line of eroticism in RPGs with both thighs (in a manner of speaking ;P) and I try to ensure that adult-themes aren't entirely ignored in games that I run, or participate in.
I'll be blunt: That so many people here have been interested in this giggle-nudge stuff is depressing.
That is pretty irrelevant stuff. I use plenty of ;) :D :P all the time, and a giggle is not really different from that. The real question is, whether Jenny plays her characters with the right amount of gravitas: if she for example plays her 4th character in succession as a barwench that blows giggly kisses at every NPC and PC... then yea, you have a point.
But if she (as she suggests) plays well-rounded characters that have erotic depth, then this should be welcomed.
The fantasy genre as a whole outgrew that adolescent tripe about a generation ago.
Yes, thankfully you are correct. But, if the pubescent fantasies have not been replaced with mature and provocative erotic themes, then we have a problem.

I haven't read every single post on this thread, but of the posts I have seen that Jenny has made, the only links I have seen have been directly to pictures. Yes, they are hosted on her website, but I haven't seen any that link directly to the website's portal page. So accusing her of using these posts to advertise her website seems to be stretching it a bit. If that was really the goal, I would think she would create a gallery with thumbnail versions, and a big "JOIN NOW" button at the bottom, and post a link to that gallery.
As for her use of "text" language, giggles, etc...yeah, I personally find that kind of thing a bit annoying. But it's becoming more and more common for younger people to interact that way on the internet, regardless of the type of interface that they are using at the time.
Similarly the fact that the pictures she's posting are hosted on the Jenny Poussin website, in a folder named paizo, suggests to me that is is actually Miss Poussin. And as I pointed out earlier, if she's simply trying to generate more memberships for her website, there would be many more effective ways to do so.
In short, I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt until she does something that actually makes me question her identity or motives.
One of my biggest raves about 3.0 (and subsequent iterations of the game) was the effort to tone down the overt "barbarian in a bikini" sexism.
(Of all the forms of sexism, this may be the most wearily sad.)
The fantasy genre as a whole outgrew that adolescent tripe about a generation ago.
Paizo's close affiliation with authors like China Mieville suggests that the company "gets" it.
I'll be blunt: That so many people here have been interested in this giggle-nudge stuff is depressing.
--Marsh
Fair enough points, and I respect your right to bring them forward. Hell, I'm glad someone did.
But...
Maybe Jenny is "real", maybe she isnt. Maybe she has a brilliant marketing plan...maybe she (or someone she knows) thinks she knows where to find a bunch of (stereotypically) lonely, socially-challenged men. This would generate an increase in hits on her FB, and whatever line she is selling.
Maybe she is enthusiastic about gaming. The doubt here comes from the fact that 90% of the tables we typically sit at (as a community)do not have a "Jenny" at them. Statement of fact, look around you next the time you play. If she is, (and she's spent a TON of time posting here), than we should encourage that, not assume she isn't real.
But that doesn't mean others can't have a little fun with it while it lasts. I don't like the shtick, personally, but I am not going to dissuade someone who does. I even participate, just for the fun of it.
As far as being predatory on young people: as a parent, that is MY job to monitor what my child is doing when he is on the computer. My 10-yr old plays CoH, and you better believe I watch what is going on.
Last point: the genre hasn't completely outgrown the "barbarian in a bikini" (and I would add "barbarian in a loincloth" as well), its that the "gaming generation" has, for the most part. By that term I mean those of us who started on the D&D boxed set (remember the blue rulebook?), and lived through the RPG explosion. Now our kids are playing, and they can look at similiar images (Seoni's chain lightning pic, leather-clad devils kissing bound captives, anyone?). If we had truely outgrown it, it would not be as successful a selling tool as it still is.

Ahhm...Is this really worth a Discussion like this?
If Jenny is who she say, and I have no serious reason to disvbelieve that despite a healthy paranoia, we should make her feel welcome to these Boards and to the hobby in general as we would anyone else, because, frankly, I don't know how most of those who read my posts or whose posts I read earn their money and I don't really care.
If there is a wicked plan to lure members of these boards in scores to her paysite - well, I've always thought of this community as to mature to fall for it - if some aren't, it's their loss (of money).
As to the style of her posts - every poster has a distinct style. I might find one or the other mildly annoying in some way, but I don't think that is a big deal.
If she's not Jenny - well, I'll probably never know, as I don't know the identities of most other members of the community.
Anyway, welcome to these boards and to the community, I hope you find a (gaming) home here.

Welcome to the boards, Jenny.
The store I shop at in the Eastern Townships only had 4 Paizo products last time I was in. Any tips on the best place in Montreal to pick up gaming supplies? (Preferably near the central terminal.)
Je souhaite que je pourrais ecrire en Francais mais mon Francais n'est pas bien encore.

Just asking out of curiosity.
I can answer this one.
The regular posting community, especially the Off Topic Discussion crowd, was bombarded with a slew of 'new' posters claiming to be 'teenaged lesbian strippers' over the course of the past few months. At first we took it with a grain of salt, then the issue got a little out of hand, and several people, including myself, became increasingly disgusted with the sockpuppet shenanigans.
I understand the urge to roleplay. Heck, we are all here to discuss a roleplaying system. I myself have almost 100 'avatars' under my account. HOWEVER, it gets old when someone is lying to your face about who and what they are by making a sockpuppet 'blue' account. Thus, as an extreme measure I started the 'pics or you're a sockpuppet' thread. That way, anyone claiming unlikely things about who they were could validate themselves with a simple timestamped picture.
After many months of drama, and at least one case where a lot of people were fooled by a sockpuppet that had been accepted in the community as a 'real' person, we had finally weeded out most of the outlandish sockpuppets cyberflirting in the OTD. It is still an issue, and many regular posters, like our beloved warwoof, are still a little thin-skinned when it comes to new posters claiming to be hot models.
Jenny, welcome to the boards. If you are who you say you are, and not just a sockpuppet or a marketing ploy then I welcome you fully. We need gamers of all descriptions, and what you look like shouldn't matter. I hope that you can post up on the pics thread and prove all the doubters wrong. I also hope you have an excellent experience on the boards. Don't take the doubts as a personal attack, it's just a reaction from a community that has endured many sockpuppets claiming basically the same thing as you.

I completely missed that one. I ignore the OTD forum for one week and I poke my head back in and everyone's walking around looking shamefaced and embarrassed like they've just gone on a bender and woken up in their best friend's underwear.
"Jenny" may be exactly what she says she is.
Well, either that or this troll has some bikini/softcore model willing to get naked in front of a camera wearing the classic "Conina Outfit" and put it on her own website to help him prey on impressionable young men.
If that is the case, I must say that he knows his shit. That is one well-organised and wealthy sexual predator! :P
I'll be blunt: That so many people here have been interested in this giggle-nudge stuff is depressing.
Get off your high horse. Being condescending towards people who like girls dress up in some fantasy costume and then undress is so last millennium. :P
I completely missed that one. I ignore the OTD forum for one week and I poke my head back in and everyone's walking around looking shamefaced and embarrassed like they've just gone on a bender and woken up in their best friend's underwear.
I don't think anyone in the OTD forum was really fooled by the sockpuppets, except for the elaborate hoax girl I mentioned earlier. There were extenuating circumstances to that story, which I'll not go into here. It just got to the point where you had a lot of people you were pretty sure were socially-awkward guys trying to gain attention by 'cyberflirting' with every poster on the threads with their sockpuppets claiming to be teen bisexual models. That kinda crosses the line from harmless roleplay to really creepy. Thus the 'pics or you're a sockpuppet' thread. Simple, easy, managable way to show you are who you say you are, and everyone's happy. Every sockpuppet 'girl' we challenged disappeared, so it worked well.

Get off your high horse. Being condescending towards people who like girls dress up in some fantasy costume and then undress is so last millennium. :P
I'll be blunt: That so many people here have been interested in this giggle-nudge stuff is depressing.
There is historical evidence to indicate that many of the accusers during the witch trials of the 15th to 18th centuries accused th people they di because of a purient interest in the person the accused. One of the requirements for aoman to prove he was not a witch was for her to shave off all her body hair and then present herself to the coart nude, so that they could see that she did not have "a witch's teet."
