Dear, Paizo would you offer your rule books with sexier art?
I am in love with your, products but the artwork could be sexier. I am trying to get more of my friends involved in role playing and am looking for books with sexier covers. I don't want my friends to be less exposed to giant breasted scantly clad females. I understand the market you are going for and I am not judging you at all. I am a proponent of "sex sells" and was wondering if you have alternate covers or books with sexier art?
And no, this is not a joke.

Nope, because they are an American company selling primarily on the American market.
And USA is a country where it's perfectly fine to teach your kids how to shoot to kill with an assault rifle, but showing them nipples is something that can uproar an entire nation.
Of course, we over here on the godless Old World have a ball laughing at that hypocrisy :)
The United States is rather puritanical, this is true. You'll just have to resort to pasting Clive Caldwell images over existing book covers.

Looking at sexy Pathfinder art can already get you thrown in jail in Mississippi. If it got any sexier then the Texas and Arizona legislatures might also get riled up.
HE LIVES!!! MY GOD HE LIVES!!!!!! ;)
Edit: Texas and Arizona are to busy throwing in jail Immigrants and mothers that spank their children to worry about Paizo..;)

Its a shame. The primary audience for Pathfinder I would assume is american males. And everyone knows that the vast majority of american males would highly appreciate art in the Pathfinder books pushing the boundaries of what might be considered PG-13 artwork.
The sex taboo in the US is strong enough for any serious publisher to think twice about that.
And if you are a gaming industry publisher, you don't take chances.

Remember the topless goddesses in the Original Deities and Demigods for AD&D? My copy did confiscated in 8th grade at a Texas middle school in the early 80s. Got it back after school that day though.
Ah memories. Anyway i pledge to buy multiple copies of any rulebooks decorated with sexy art and suggest a "sexy art of Golarion" product line. For nostalgia's sake only of course.

The OGL and Pathfinder OGL exist for a reason. And that reason is to allow a third party publisher to provide you with your rpg rules wrapped in pages, upon pages, of hardcore pornography.
Or, at least that's what Ryan Dancey said when it was released. Google it yourself, the press release is easy to find.

All that will change soon enough. My invasion force is almost ready to deploy. They don't have guns. Only big'uns. The force consists of female special forces. They're naked, they're real and they're spectacular. They carry no weapons except their bodies. And copious amounts of baby oil.
"You don't know shame! You don't know modesty!"

Kind of like the fish speakers from children of dune only not. I think they would do better if they were armed and naked though.

Come on Erik, you could have those fancy plastic covers that show just the eyes and ankles till you rip it off and find Cheesecake. You could sell it to adults only. Think of the collector craze! You could sell all your books twice! ;)No.
That reminds me of Black Dog Game Factory books from White Wolf back in the day.

This is unfair. I'm an American and I like assault rifles AND nipples.
No.
On behalf of myself I wish to thank Paizo for not catering to the lowest common denominator and slathering their products with objectifying, pornographic depictions of women. Truly this is a great victory for human decency and good taste.
That's what pictures of men are for.
Know what we need in an industry cliched for being made up of infantile man-children who have never touched a woman? More female objectification.

This, too, is unfair. I am an infantile man-child AND I have touched a woman.
Just an FYI that was a joke post
No.

I'm sure the poodles would be happy to do it.
Gark,
How ya been? I saw you actively recruiting in this thread's originator. Good work, my son.
What happened to my first post? The one with the nekkid army?
I don't see it. I checked in two browsers, I made sure I didn't put myself on the ignore list, but I don't see it.
bartgroks apparently saw it, since he quoted it.
I'm probably going crazier.
Gark, didja see that smackdown?
I'm JMD031 and I approve of this thread.

Of course, not everybody here is happy about it, either. And not all of us are ignorant to the reasons for these quirks of the American conscience.
Believe me, I am a red-blooded Yank. But if I could somehow go back, I would not hesitate to do whatever I could to prevent the Puritans from setting events in motion that would eventually Ruin Every Good Thing There Ever Was with fist-pumping, flag-waving idiocy. Like, bring them a couple back issues of Hustler, or something. Or at least nip in the bud the idea that Thanksgiving is about anything but stuffing one's gullet and passing out before noon.
Alas, a working time machine, much like a solid gold toilet, is simply not on the immediate horizon for me.
Gark, didja see that smackdown?
No.

I personally would like to encourage more sexy man art. Equal time and all that. ;-)

Just thinking about Poland makes me laugh too.

HEY! Oh, you probably were worried about somebody else. BTW, they made me stop saying, "I wear nothing under these robes," in my intro lecture. Prudes.
Is it just me or does this phrase:
a red-blooded Yankjust create an entirely disturbing mental picture because of this thread?
You had to point that out, did you?
Of course, we over here on the godless Old World have a ball laughing at that hypocrisy :)Just thinking about Poland makes me laugh too.
That's funny. Thinking about Poland makes me call my tanks and ask whether they're there yet! I hear Gorbacz has his garden ready, everything is planted, nice, EHEC-free salad expected to be ripe any day now.
I just hope the tanks get there in time to ruin it all!
;-P
Jeez, this was meant to be a serious topic on sexier and more graphic art in the Paizo books. How did it devolve into this mess?
We arbitrarily decided that your way was badwrongfun and then dogpiled you.
That reminds me: We haven't insulted you nearly enough! So there:
You... nincompoop! That's right. Whippersnapper. You are a brutish lout. You have all the virtues I despise and none of the vices I admire!
Something about your mother, your racial background and sexual preferences. The latter involving pets!
So there!
Oh, and smurf!
If you don't leave now, we'll enter your email address at many smut websites catering to the weirder fetishes!
;P

All joking aside, you are completely correct.
Of course, nipples have traditionally led me into trouble while the assault rifle has gotten me out of trouble. So there is a method to America's madness. We are teaching kids how to stay out of trouble. They don't need any help getting into trouble.

The urge of the Puritans and Pilgrims to form a better or even separate Church laid the foundation for the colonization and eventual breakaway of the States. All the Enlightenment values that we associate with the Revolution more or less jumped on board a religious and economic train.
