I don't think WTF, DnD can be complete without DnD's biggest WTF: The Book of Erotic Fantasy



That's a pretty big WTF.

Technically I actually don't think this is DnD sanctioned, but still :wtf:

Modrons are loving ridiculous. I mean, I always knew they were one of the more bizarre creations of early D&D, but I figured that started and ended with cube people. I never realized how much worse it got.

It seems like the whole world would easily turn into "Adventures in Mathland" with some modification.

...which REEEEALLY makes me want to write a campaign with them. :v:

ELP's done that one, but it was like half a decade ago. I doubt Steve would have much fun with it either, it looks like in its high-mindedness it's neglected one of D&D's sexual keystones: hot barbarian chicks in leather swimsuits riding well-ripped bucking stallions.

The Senmurv is a wolf/eagle hybrid invented, without question, by someone with a dreamcatcher hanging from the rear-view mirror of their pickup truck. Each successful attack deals 1d6 of freedom.
The Senmurv is what Toby Keith becomes every full moon, and as such it fails to impress us on every conceivable level.

It's like WTF D&D collided with a Bradford Exchange article.

Besides looking like a Pirates of the Caribbean alarm clock, the Demi-lich seems to possess no tactical advantages of any kind. It just kind of floats around, waiting for a party of heroes to smack it out of the air like a pinata.

We suppose it could try to bite you, but the illustration above kind of makes it look like the jaw is fused in place. Man, now we just feel sorry for it.

I'd have to say I like this series better than Fashion SWAT only because of the contrast in personality between Steve and Zack, unlike in the SWAT series where they are pretty much the same. It works sooo hilariously well.

Dr. Thorpe and Zach aren't the same, per se, they just compliment each other well. As do Zach and Steve, but in a different way.

Dr. Thorpe and Steve would probably consist of Dr. Thorpe trying to kill Steve.

My favorite quote was from their description of the Gambado:

That's Zack and Steve's doing; it's not actually like that in the books. It's to add emphasis and draw the eye to the parts that aren't greyed out (which is usually made fun of in the discussion below the picture.)

Well, for me anyway, it does just the opposite; draws the eye to the highlighted (greyed-out) parts.

Which of course makes the highlighting seem arbitrary and random.
