Seen via an actual ad on Facebook.
This appears to be the real deal, and they credit Paizo for the help.

Posting in RPG forum instead of 3.5/PF for better visibility, since this is funny more than it is crunchy.

I think they did a good job.

It is amusing - but they mixed Pathfinder & 5e mechanics. (Wisdom save etc.)

I like the last line of the Gentleman's Code:

The Gentleman would never attack a member of the opposite sex first. That is just common knowledge, and we are surprised we even had to point this out. What right-minded player would ever think that a Gentleman would attack a member of the opposite sex first? If that player is you, then you should consider playing the Foolish or Dummy class instead of a Gentleman.

The implications of the code, and how the Gentleman views member of the opposite sex is something I won't get into here. Other issues: Is The Gentleman class available to both sexes? How does it apply to LGBTQ characters?

The rules explicitly allow a gentle-lady to wear a top, so female members of the class must exist. Through I wonder why that rule isn't optional, really.

Mainly because it isn't very lady-like to be topless in public. And the Gentleman class is cultivating a rather specific cultural aesthetic.

This advertisement campaign is a recipe for success it's all over RPG forums and groups on facebook. Before I know every roleplayer I play with will smell like old spice.

Chummer, you've been played by the megacorporations

Friend, if you use Google or any of their products, this has been true since you started. And likely before. :P

That'd be a major improvement over the usual unwashed convention stink. :smallyuk:

It's pretty obvious that it's an ad - but it's an amusing/clever one.

What - companies aren't allowed to try to appeal to the nerdy/gamer demographic?

Are you kidding me? I'm still surfing the net in UNIX like I did in '93 If it aint broken why fix it...although my 1200 baud modem doesnt handle the internet anymore.

Google? Never! I'd rather use Netscape Navigator!!!

I already use Old Spice so their ad campaign is totally wasted on me!

Wait a sec...

I'd prefer Posh Spice or Scary Spice over Old Spice any day!

As an occasional convention goer...I hope their campaign is very successful among the gamer crowd. :)
