[QUOTE="Korgoth, post: 3853973, member: 49613"] Good on you! You really kicked his adze. (Hopefully whoever gets that joke will see why, in the context, it couldn't not be made.) .......... Speaking for myself, I [b]do not like[/b] occult material to show up in my gaming books. It makes me uncomfortable. I do believe that there are forces which seek the ruin of souls, and I don't like the idea of making a game out of them. Perhaps that's why I prefer Lovecraftian elements to Western occult elements when it comes to introducing otherworldly themes: they're inimical, alien and unintelligible (and so have the potential to be very fearsome), but also are entirely unconnected with occultism. Granted, D&D has usually done a good job of making the overtly occult as something evil and to be opposed. But those elements detract from my enjoyment of the products. That's just where I stand as a consumer. [/QUOTE]
