"Pornomancy" - talk about skewed linguistics...
But this actually sounds interesting. Sexuality plays a big role in many
magical traditions, and while I'm not sure I'd be comfortable integrating
this into my average convention campaign I have a group or two with whom I
think such elements should work well. Is there a system (any system) that
actually treats the matter in an adult and tasteful way? I'm not exactly
sold on the Unknown Armies variant, not least because it requires video
equipment.
