(And the same applies to black characters, homosexual characters, etc, of course.)Beyond that, I don't see problems with presenting any and all deviations from that norm. Especially if Evil societies are labelled as such.Ah, now that's a different question. In principle, my answer remains the same, but WotC need to tread very carefully in such areas. On balance, I would rather they err towards 'offensive' material, rather than neutering the game... but I can see that they'll probably prefer the opposite route.(Of course, it should be possible to present 'edgy' material without being offensive, but that's easier said than done.)I would also be quite interested in a "mature audiences" imprint that takes a much more shades-of-gray/mature look at such topics. I certainly feel there's a place for adult material, especially in a game primarily played by adults, but it should be labelled as such! (And by 'adult', I don't mean "blood and boobs". I mean actual adult material, please.)</blockquote>
