Opinion - Big Bang Theory episode on Dungeons & Dragons - The Love Spell Potential

How did you feel about the sexual rules added? The stereotypes?

Fast-forward a few years, and they produced the Firefly role-playing game. I recently finished running a group through it, and here are my thoughts overall about the differences...
