Ah, that might be a reference too dated for you young 'uns.
Not for this young 'un.

That "no sex" RPGing rule has to come from somewhere, eh?
Comparisons welcome. I did worry, however, that we'd slipped into anakronism after reading the comments on courtly love and seeing lmp's history lesson.

Actually, I find this an interesting discussion, possibly needing expansion on the Books forum or HI-ing of related topics.

Moving right along...
