I'm not kidding. They went and made a pen-and-paper RPG based on the abortion debate in America. The only question remaining is this: when will PD put on his dungeon master robes?

Louis Porter Jr. Design, in association with Devil’s Workshop, announces the most controversial product to be released for D20 since the Book of Erotic Fantasy. The Choice and Blood sourcebook, written by up-and-coming superstar Chris Field, is a D20 Modern product that focuses on the Abortions and Abortion Clinic Culture from both sides of the Pro-Life and Pro-Choice positions. No issue in history has divided the United States people as much as the issue of legalized abortion. Here is information on this product:

On a quiet day, an abortion clinic is indistinguishable from any medical building. Some are lone, freestanding buildings; others are just another office in a professional building or cluster of medical suites. Many abortion clinics are freestanding by necessity, because of the religious beliefs of potential landlords, or simply out of fear that having a clinic on the premise of a medical complex would put other patients at risk. It’s not an unreasonable fear: hundreds of abortion clinics have been vandalized or firebombed since the mid 1980s.On protest days, the clinic becomes a battlefield. Pro-life protesters ring the clinic, chanting prayers, singing psalms, holding grotesque signs depicting dismembered fetuses.

Tactics range from peaceful protest and passive resistance to mob violence. Parents bring their true-believing children to prayer vigils, while elderly Catholic ladies pray the Rosary for the unborn. Handsome college age pro-lifers stage die-ins, falling to the street and playing dead to draw media attention and block traffic. Haggard reformers hand out pamphlets and attempt to convert passerby, while ‘sidewalk consolers’ scream at the women walking into the clinic not to kill their babies. Pro-choice counter demonstrators add to the noise and chaos. Attempting to drown out the pro-lifer’s slogans with high volume feminist chants, the unruly DMZ established around the clinic quickly becomes too noisy to hear anything quieter or a bullhorn or a police siren. Pro-choice volunteers, easily recognizable in brightly colored safety vests escort patients and their families through the crush of protesters.

This supplement has all new materials including:
• History of Abortion in America
• Protest tactics and strategies for Pro-Life and Pro-Choice supporters
• New Advanced Class: The Abortion Provider,
• New Intermediary Classes: Clinic Defender, Sidewalk Counselor, Blogger, Irregular and ER Intern,
• Campaign Styles: The Medical Campaign vs. the Abortion
• Nearly 20 new medical and political feats including Flash Mob, Medical Immortality, Reconstructive Surgery and Street Demonstration.

This 24 page PDF is just the sort of thing needed for GMs to add depth to any great d20 Modern campaign world, including Haven: City of Violence and Sanctuary: City of Secrets. Due to the extreme nature of this product it is for Mature Audiences only.

Choice and Blood is planned for release on January 22 on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the landmark judicial opinion regarding privacy and abortion in the United States.

I've seen it.  It's pretty hilarious.  There are pages upon pages of mystical STDs and stuff.  And LOTS of cosplay nerd nudity.
