[QUOTE="Ralts Bloodthorne, post: 290074, member: 6390"] [b]Not this again[/b] This is actually a fairly common discussion. "Where does entertainment stop and perversion begin?" Well, to put it simply.... That is for each of us to judge seperately. I'm an American, that means I have freedom of choice. My brain works (putting me in the minority as far as the human race goes), and allows me to make my own decisions. It does not allow me to decide what other people may do, if it doesn't hurt anyone else. You may believe that any book that contains profanity should be banned. I believe that banning a book is evil. Some people support the sexual expliotation of young children, I believe that I should have the right to shoot those people in the face with a shotgun. As far as edgy goes, today's edgy is tommorrow banality. Eldritch magic (the old Chainmail book) had a naked woman on an altar on the cover, the 1E DMG I have has a naked succubus sitting on a rock in the back. Demons were pulled on the harrassment of whoremongering televangelists, now they are back. Evil is being turned back into evil, not evil lite (tastes great, less hell!!) Personally, I like the idea of there being an actual EVIL for the PC"s to fight. How evil is a demon's lair with a couch, a lounge chair, a half-eaten pizza, and the he's so evil because he has an illegal cable descrambler turned onto the Swedish Erotica channel? BUT, if the PC's go into the cave, where the veins in the rock throb with unwholesome life, souls scream in tortured agony from where they have been shaped into furniture to fit a demonic frame, and a bowl is filled with small souls of children that the demon arranged to have murdered, now THAT guy deserves an ass-kicking! Don't sweat it. I'm one of those now pushing 40 that was originally played it, and frankly, The Book of Vile Darkness from Wizards of the Toast appeals to me about as much as The Big Book of Fuzzy Bunnies. My gaming group doesn't wear makeup, doesn't dress wierdly, aren't cross-dressers or closet axe-murderers, and I don't think one of buying that book will turn us into that. [/QUOTE]
