[QUOTE="Sunseeker, post: 5928359"] Generally speaking I believe that's true. As a political science major, there are a lot of ties to what's going on IRL that have caused this, but that's neither here nor there, and not content for this forums. Language doesn't get a lot of representation in D&D, perhaps in the novels, but then I don't read those so I don't know. I don't really think that's going to be an issue, as long as D&D books are written at roughly readers digest level I don't think anyone will complain about it's complexity. D&D is, will, and must have gore, to some degree, in it's art. You can't write/draw about big battles and then pretend everything is cuts and burises and dramatic blood-drips under the eyes. I don't think D&D should tip-toe around sexuality, but it probably will have to. I'd like to see some art of heroes rescuing damsels, heroines rescuing dames and a little bit of the same for guy-guy, girl-girl. It's well past the 90's folks. But I'd want all that to stay PG, kissing, hugging, that sort of thing, we don't need a repeat of NU25 Batman and Catwoman. Yes yes I know [I]some[/I] sensibilities may be bothered by same-sex romance in art, but lets face it, those folks are likely the ones who still think D&D is Satanic, I doubt they're a market anyone cares about.
