I agree. I've got even older material from Greg which was used in Sartar Companion which portrays her just as being just as extreme.

As for Babeester Gor, Humakt, or Urox being unplayable - that's just bizarre. My own gaming group (which meets weekly and half the players are women) has included all three and all played by women players. All the cults were considered extreme and dangerous, but fun and challenging to play. On the other hand, I have been told point-blank by several players (all women) that the Ernalda cult presented in Thunder Rebels was unplayable (two of those players went on to play Ernalda cultists when I was playtesting Kingdom of Heroes to much greater enjoyment). Your Unplayable Will Vary apparently. Jeff
