Message: <blockquote data-quote="Psion" data-source="post: 369820" data-attributes="member: 172">Well I missed the first thread, I thought I'd put my 2 cents in before this one gets shut down...I occasionally am put in the position of defending D&D from people who get the wrong idea about it. That is in part because I don't want people to get the wrong idea about me and my hooby. But it is also because I don't want that out of my hobby.Now from what monte has said about the book of vile darkness, I have little to fear on this score. He has said that the copy that was in the catalog was off, and even that wasn't too bad. His "what I would do" description sounded like a pretty fun an appropriate book. Evil figures should be evil.However, if the BoVD is as bad as the worst of the sealed section, I will be disappointed. Searing seed sounds like something out of a hentai tentacle porn flick (or worse, a bad high school game -- I agree with Tracy when he says "mature" usually means the opposite.) I found corpsebond totally out of line -- it seems like it was put in there just for shock value. I get sick of that tactic in modern movies.Now dragon dissapoints me because I subscribed to it as a straight up gaming mag, not some shock-flick mag or something. My money has already been squandered.I am holding out hope that BoVD will be more tasteful than that -- it was by a different author, and Monte's article was tasteful. If it isn't, I will be disappointed as a potentially useful supplement will have been tainted by this "edgier than thou" crap. But at least I had the option to pass it by, unlike the Dragon, which I had already committed my money to.</blockquote>
