At no point have I advocated or requested help from, as you put it, deviant sexual players. Or did you mean something else by 'invocation'? I honestly can't work out what you're trying to say here, but I'm pretty certain that you've gotten hold of the wrong end of the stick somewhere. I am not trying to specifically badmouth the product itself (which I have not read) and I am not trying to stir up trouble, I am merely pointing out that the title of the game could be taken the wrong way, which may explain why certain members of the male demographic find it unsettling. After all, discussion is what these forums are for, and the authors of the product have taken it all in good humour and given honest and sensible answers to it, for which I respect them.
In answer to your question I won't be buying the product, but having heard about it a while ago I was interested to see how it had turned out. I wish the authors all the best with it naturally, but it's not really my kind of thing. I also add that the reason for my decision is not as one might expect entirely the title, but that I don't feel that the game goes into the kind of depth or has as broad a scope as I would normally prefer in an RPG.

I think that you are reading too much into things. I am not 'blaming you' for anything beyond suggesting that I was a sexist. Gender discrimination is something I feel very strongly about, and I don't care to be labelled misogynistic or the kind to typecast by gender. If I touched a nerve somehow then, once again, I'm sorry. However I stand by everything I have said. A title like 'Panty Explosion' might make a guy worry about what other people would think about him if it was sitting on his bookshelf, especially if they didn't know the genre or the hobby very well. I am also clearly not alone in this view.
