Message: <blockquote data-quote="Arnwyn" data-source="post: 842682" data-attributes="member: 7701">Ultimately, the only answer to the question "should Dungeon (and I'll throw in Dragon) magazine publish more 'vile' content" is: "does it make Paizo more money?". If yes, then yes, there should be more "vile". If no, then there shouldn't be.Reasons, such as "morality" concerns, are a non-issue. If one doesn't like it, then they should not read it, or subscribe to it (and not subscribing doesn't matter, because - based on the premise above - if they are publishing "vile" then it makes them more money than not publishing it, and those people have been factored in). Everything out there has content that some person won't like - that's life. So to say "I won't buy it because it doesn't meet my needs/is morally wrong" is fine. But saying "they shouldn't publish it because it doesn't meet my needs/is morally wrong" is a patently unreasonable comment. (Yeah, it's semantics, I guess, since when they say the latter, they probably mean the former.)It's really that simple. Unfortunately, no one on this messageboard is even remotely qualified to determine whether "vile" in Dungeon/Dragon will sell or not - only qualified and competent market research professionals will even have a chance at getting this information.However, it's a heck of a lot of fun to speculate! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
