Hmmm... how do I respond to this? Yeah, I guess there's more sex in the
trilogy novels than in the others. But Dead Air had some in it too, and I
remember reading sex scenes in Never Deal with a Dragon and in Fade to Black
though I don't remember how graphic it was. I tried to keep mine suggestive
enough so that there was no doubt about what's going on, but well on the
side of tasteful.

Thanks all for you comments regarding Clockwork Asylum. It seems that some
like it better that Stranger Souls, some not as good but still like it. I
appreciate the feedback.

Yeah, Grind makes a joke about this in Beyond the Pale. This is just after
they pick up their new mage. <grin> Actually, you all probably know him. He
goes by Talon and has posted to Shadowland quite a few times.

Of course only Steve Kenson and I know if he lives through the whole book.

Ciao,

It was nothing distasteful or anything it is not that ... It was good
... In the other books it has been more like old time soaps on tv ..
They go to the bedroom and get undressed and then they wake up the
next morning ...

Man, you should see some of the more fun soaps. Granted, daytime censorship
doesn't let you see the "boffing" in action (to quote Ivanova), but Y&R
(during lunchtime with two fanatical women ever day) can be stunning between
Nick and Sharon (and damn but they look good at it).

Don't want to watch soaps ... I hate them .... But I used to watch
old once like Dallas, it was the best ... now they all suck big time!

No, I've had no complaints about the sex....Actually I figure it's
pretty realistic....

(Besides, if you didn't have Quicksilver, um, "meeting Nadja's needs"
I can think of a few players who might step in to correct the
oversight....

None of mine though....mine are in the middle of an anti-elf period)
