[QUOTE="Billiarmus, post: 290355, member: 6347"] Now, i'm sure i'll get flamed for this, but this is just IMHO. Looking at DND in general, it's been pretty tame up to now, as fare as WOTC core supplements. Some of the other d20 publishers have done some pretty gritty stuff, though. Not to say it wasn't well done. However, ever since I heard about the Book of Vile Darkness, i've been a little worried. Now, groups in the past have always hated DND, and there are still some that do. But since the new "revamp" of 3rd edition, WOTC hasn't done a lot that would really offend. TBOVD seems like it might just be the flag that such groups can wave around to once again make non-RPGer's hate DND again. Plus, I worry this may signal the beginning of a much grittier approach to DND as far as future supplements, at least for the immidiate future. Personally, I like DND's current tone, but I can definately understand how some people might like a slight departure. I'm just the kind of guy that always plays a good character :) Monte does a good job, but I'm just not sure about this book. I've talked with my friend, and he agrees, this book sounds like it might just be a little too much. Well, I guess this was kind of a rant, but I just thought i'd get my opinion out there. Again, I hope I haven't offended anyone. Any thoughts on this would be interesting to discuss. [/QUOTE]
