I didn't buy it myself, partly because I stopped buying new stuff, and partly because the few useful items in the book appeared to be buried in a sea of useless titillation. But if Paizo and WotC will start publishing useful "vile" material, I say go for it.I don't know what it's like in Canada, but in America our rating system is pretty skewed anyway, and I don't put much stock in it. Apparently anyone under 18 will react fine to bloodsplattering violence and gore, but the sight of a nipple will mutilate their soul.Well, if the opinions of ENWorlders are even a little bit representative of the D&D community as a whole, I think the RPG community in general will appreciate a few articles a year of more "mature" themes.Well, inappropriate for young readers from the view of Western society. Considering that I myself am a young reader, I'll give you one guess as to how much I care about those views.I'm operating under the assumption that Paizo understands their audience to a reasonable degree, and has made a decision based on that understanding. Perhaps my assumption is unfounded. We'll see.I would guess that it's because in American society and, to a lesser degree, Western society in general, murder is relatively common while rape and torture are considerably more rare and therefore illicit a greater reaction. I could be wrong.</blockquote>
