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.
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

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.
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.
