[QUOTE="Darrin Drader, post: 832303, member: 7394"] I think I'll just chime in here. I always read the editorials in Dragon and Dungeon magazine. I have to say that I was extremely happy when I read that they probably will include more vile in upcoming issues. It reaffirmed that roleplayers are a mature bunch that can handle some dark and gritty subject matter in our fantasy. If everything they release is popcorn and fluff, the hobby quickly becomes boring and less vital, as is evidenced by AD&D 2nd edition, which pandered to every outraged parent and right winger that made such ridiculous, unfounded, and uninformed noise back in the '80's. I like having vile content, if only to spite the self appointed defenders of "common decency" who have so vigorously attacked the hobby (and continue to do so) for as long as it has existed. Maybe this attitude is a little immature, its really no different that getting around some jerk on the freeway who's been purposely preventing you from moving around them in order to "enforce" the speed limit, then flipping them the bird as you speed on by.
