                             The fight was over. Both of them knew that. All that remained was the surrender.
                            She looked down at him. His limbs lay still. No strength at all. He had used all of
                         it fighting her relentless attacks. He heard her staggered breath. It had not been easy
                         getting here. More than once, he thought he had broken through her defenses. But
                         each time he thought he had her, she countered and reversed the advantage.
                            Now, he was helpless. All his strength was gone. It belonged to her now. All his
                         strength and all his magic. All gone. He was helpless. She could do what she wanted
                         with him. Her smile looked down at him. A smile as wicked and dangerous as
                         broken glass.
                           They agreed to meet in the night club. He arrived early and
                         sat in a dark corner so he could watch her. When she arrived,
                         she went straight to the dance floor, stealing strength from the
                         untrained. A petty trick.
                           When her clothes were thick with sweat, he showed himself.
                         She showed him that same smile. They danced with their
                         bodies as tight as her dress. He could feel her strength
                         even then. Knew of it by reputation. She was just
                         as dangerous as her smile.
                           Later, when he felt that strength against his body,
                         he knew the reputation was only a shadow of the
                         truth. But she had not accepted his challenge because
                         he was a novice. He had a reputation of his own. Both of
                         them could be considered legends. And tonight, one of them
                         would fall.
                            Three times he thought she was broken. Her fingers
                         clinging to his back, digging deep enough for pain. That
                         was the first time. The second, on her stomach. The third,
                         her back was against his chest. That’s when her voice broke.
                         When her back arched. When her arms slumped to her side.
                         He had her. He had her.
                           But here he was now. All his strength belonged to her.
                         Somehow, she turned all of that weakness against him. And it
                         was he who was on his back. His arms slumped to his side. She
                         had him. She had him.
                             The fight was over. All that remained was the surrender.

                                           Sexcraft is a roleplaying game about witches and wizards using sex to cast
                                          magic, perform magical duels and gain magical power.
                                            It is a “meta-system.” A simple set of rules you can put on top of another
                                           roleplaying game with little or no effort or conversion. You can use Sexcraft
                                           in your favorite fantasy RPG, your favorite modern occult horror RPG or
                                           even a steampunk RPG. The genre and setting don’t matter.
                                           In so many RPGs, sex is completely ignored. Why? Because it has no
                                          impact on the game system itself. Perhaps if we offer a tangible reward—
                                            something the players can add to their character sheets—sex will become
                                             a more active part of the roleplaying experience.
                                    Sexcraft is a particular kind of skill. Very few know its secrets.
                                   In order for your character to use sexcraft, she must first learn its secrets. This
                                is not easy. You must find someone else who knows the art, and then, you must
                                convince them to teach it to you.
                                       Consider that for a moment. You know one of the greatest secrets in the
                                        world. A secret perhaps one hundred people know. And here comes someone
                                        who has heard about the secret. They ask you to teach it to them. How do
                                         you reply? What kind of payment do you demand?
                                        Once it has been learned, the sexcraft witch or warlock can use it to gain
                                    power from others. That power allows the warlock to change the world around
                             him.
                                Most are unaware of the magical power of sex. Pulling power from the uninitiated is
                             easy. However, because they do not know how to channel or focus their sexual power,
                             it is also very limited. The truest and most potent source of power is one that has been
                             mastered by one initiated in the art of sexcraft.
                               In other words, a sexcraft duel. Power versus power. One is left empty. The other
                             leaves with the power of both.
                             SEXUAL ENERGY
                               A witch or warlock gains power through sexual acts. Not only the act itself but
                             activities that generate sexual energy. The human body feels this gathering of energy
                             and reacts to it. Trembling knees. Sweat. Shortness of breath. An electrical charge

                         perceived attack. If you succeed in Protect, you
                                                                                  Counterattack has no Advantage.
                         lose no Energy. You can gain no Energy from a
                         successful Protect but you also lose less Energy.
                         Even if you lose the Round, you only lose one
                         Energy.
                             Protect has Advantage over Attack.
                       FINALLY
                           Now that you’ve finished my little book, if you find yourself looking
                         back and giggling or feeling awkward or saying to yourself, “This is just
                         inappropriate,” I ask you to consider this.
                           I’m looking at my bookshelf. Thirty years of collecting. I see over
                         100,000 pages devoted to violence and murder.
                             Now you know how I feel.
                       A QUICK NOTE
                           There’s a lot of pinup art in this book. All of it is women.
                         We tried to find some “sexy guy” silhouettes but we
                         couldn’t find any. We found “strong guys” and “muscle
                         guys” but no “sexy guys” or “pinup guys.” Our sincere
                         apologies.
