[QUOTE="Knightcrawler, post: 369774, member: 5097"] I think the basic premiss of the BovD is sound. Something that will provide more mature material. I just think the way that WotC has gone about it is flawed. I lived and gamed through the eighties. Suffering through BADD and all the related groups. Parents burning of throwing out their kids roleplaying books (burning seemed a very popular method of destruction). All those things and many others. The culture is much different now than it was in the 80's. There are a plethora of roleplaying games and companies. New ones seem to come into being all the time. And White Wolf has taken gaming to a level that WotC couldn't even dream of, at least concerning mature material. My problem is that with putting all the new "mature" material in to one book makes it easy for those of us that want such material. It also brings unwanted publicity and attention back to D&D. I would have much preferred if WotC had started including some more mature material in their most recent releases. Its done quietly that way and usually in such amounts that no group is going to freak from the material in any one book. I'm not going to get on anyones case for not using the BoVD. Its a choice. If it fits your campaign then use it. If not then don't use it. Its that simple. THe fact that the book hasn't even been released makes many of the dicussions that have appearded here rather humerous. I'm taking a wait and see stand. It could be usefull and then again it may not. After all its just a book. [/QUOTE]
