Well, if you're interested in that sort of thing, check out <a href="http://www.valarproject.com" target="_blank">www.valarproject.com</a> and their upcoming Book of Erotic Fantasy.The Book of Exalted Deeds will be mature in that it will handle the philosophy of what is good and what is not. Murder is evil, right? What about if it's murder to save millions of lives? Killing a group of evil characters is good, but is killing their evil children (or even leaving them to die by exposure)? If an evil creature never performs an evil act but is evil by thought and philosophy, and you slay it, is it murder? After all, it never performed an evil act.When does fanatical devotion to a belief cause you to resort to whatever methods necessary to further it?These are mature things that most young gamers wouldn't really take the time to think about. And by young gamers, I mean under the age of 18.EDIT: Another example of the "evil" nature of good and vice versa... in one of my campaigns, I had two opposing societies. One was lawful good and the other was chaotic evil. My players were surprised and bewildered when they discovered that they were free to come and go as they pleased in the chaotic evil society, not even being harassed by the guards. The lawful good society, however, was much stricter, and even committed forced abortions on citizens that did not buy a birth license. Forced abortions are murderous and evil, but the land was already overpopulated and the food supply was on a downward spiral towards total famine.</blockquote>
