I don't understand what they were thinking
"The Staff: A Different Kind of RPG", and the picture is a naked minotaur looking down at a topless buff dude.
You might as well have called it "The Really Big Dick: This Aint For Kids" and had the minotaur's cock on the dude's head. That's the only way it could possibly have been any more suggestive.
It says LITRPG, not RPG. LITRPG is a story genre.
(Edit: this is meant to be informative, not condescending. I hadn't heard of that genre until semi recently.)
That name too, 'wild rabbit'. I'm mildly informed in zoology, and there is a reasons rabbits are known for a thing.
It implies a furry wrote it. Which only increases the chances our hero will be swallowing an all beef hot dog.
I wonder if this is some viral marketing campaign. Where it was intentionally made sexual to get people talking about "what it looks like"
Fantasy smut sells! This dude could make fucking millions off this. I would rewrite the whole thing if I were him.
Keep the title, keep the cover art, completely replace the content!
roll a D8, the result determines the outcome of your conversation:
I'd play the shit out of that game
That's literally just the text adventure video game Corruption of Champions (CoCs). The sci-fi version is Trials in Tainted Space (TiTS).
....is that real or a clever pun you just made up? I really want to know without using Google.
The sequel to Corruption of Champions is on Steam. Corruption of Champions 2. You can technically find it without googling if you search the Steam store.
I actually beat Corruption of Champions 1, it was a really fun text based rpg! i would play it when i was bored in the military.
Yes.
I feel like I want to start minutar smut now
Oh god, I’m launching! I’m launching!
My takeaway here is that there’s apparently a market out there hungry for Minotaur smut.
There's a market out there for literally any kind of smut you can think of. It might be a small market, but there will be a market.
There's a market hungry for smut about literary agents who reject manuscripts for Amazon prime printing being pounded up the butt by their own rejected manuscripts. If you can think it, Doctor Chuck Tingle has written it being pounded up the butt. I think that's rule 34L
Hell there's even a market for market based smut where craft markets are having anal sex with farmers markets while simultaneously having illicit affairs with stock markets. Everyone needs a little lovin'.
You: 'apparently'
Me, a furry for the last two decades: haha, yes, apparently, ha ha ha... haaaa...
An overwhelming amount of booktok/bookstagram (and their mentally challenged brother, bookbook, close relative of Moon Moon) is very much in love with e.g. Morning Glory Milking Farm.
WARNING: Look that book up at your own peril. You've been warned.
It's cute that he thought "Gay Minotaur Sex" would be a brand new sentence somehow.
My sweet, sweet summer child...
No, no, no. The new sentence is that it does NOT have Minotaur sex
I didn't even have to search much...
My motto is if a thing has a hole or a pole someone wrote about fucking it. I say "it", because whatever it is can be an anthropomorphic toaster. Probably called "Hot Toasted Love" or "Butter my Bread".
Edit:, now I started down a dark rabbit hole... Which is also fucked in a book most likely.
Chuck "Pounded in the butt by my book "Pounded in the butt by my own butt"" Tingle is cheating.
That's Doctor Chuck Tingle, three time Hugo nominee!
You have to admit the ability to get pounded in the butt by your own butt is pretty remarkably convenient.
This is fantastic. Thanks for posting the reddit link, which has now been edited further:
EDIT 2: Apparently I also ~~owe an apology to the small (but vocal) contingent who really wanted this to be minotaur smut.~~ I'm doing my part. Now get typing.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
And the linked thread is basically a writing competition that the author is hosting with a $100 prize. The title is "Announcing the 2026 Beefhammer Prize For Excellence in Minotaur Erotica". Lovely!
The drawing is super suggestive, that Minotaur is ripped, face looking down while his chest pump up showing physical dominance while his "enemy" with his height only achieving the bare minimum to cover his massive huge humongous...personality
Also the title is literally called "The Staff"
Right? As soon as I saw it was called "The Staff" I was like "Come the fuck on."
Might as well have called it, "The Massive Throbbing Minotaur Meatstick"
And come on, why the hero is shirtless with jeans!! That's hot
Ouch. Seriously, what was he thinking with that cover. Or the artist for that matter. Should have shopped it out to at least one friend and asked “based on the cover, what do you think this is about?”
I mean the name literally has “The Staff” in it!
This seems to be garnering a lot of attention. Maybe he knew exactly what he was doing.
He's upset because everyone made the wrong assumption, it's actually a story about a sentient staff that gets revenge for being used as a sounding rod for 30 years.
don't think its gonna sell as good with a different cover. also "A NOVEL NOT ABOUT GAY MINOTAUR SEX?" should be its byline
Well then judging by the title it's about a group of coworkers?
"Jason knew that this was beyond him. And some deep inside him rose. A deep knowing that he could take this the minataur. Sterlingly strong, the minataur stood with a knowing going in his eyes. This wasn't his first rodeo. "Don't fail me now" Jason thought as he gripped his staff ever tighter."
"The minataur thrust himself at Jason. A tangled mess of limbs and horns, they jostled for position. Jason held the minataur's head down by the horns. "I've got you now" as he moved to thrust his staff deep inside the ... The world a twirl, Jason found himself on his back, lurching. Something gored him and the man-beast had struck the first blow. He had never felt anything like this before. The power. The grace. The yearning for release. He was no longer in control. When was the last time he wasn't in control?"
