[QUOTE="SemperJase, post: 834434, member: 1824"] I completely agree. A related issue is how does this affect the view of roleplaying in general? For most of the public, D&D [u]IS[/u] roleplaying. Dragon and Dungeon magazines are the official magazines of D&D. There is a responsibility for these magazines to project the image of the gaming industry. There are words in the last George R.R. Martin short story that Dragon printed that would offend Eric's grandmother and are prohibited from being repeated here. Should Dragon print content that couldn't be reproduced here? That is too "mature" for my taste. I'm sure Paizo hopes to increase circulation, but I just don't see it working by printing more exclusionary content. Yes, the demographic has changed to an older audience, but a large number of readers are still a young crowd or are parents with children who will not want that content in their house. Is Dragon so well off it can do without young readers? [/QUOTE]
