Black Dog as the blurb claims, there will always be groups using rape, prostitution, drugs, slavery, and what have you in game.  Some groups will handle them maturely and intelligently, some will have the party fight slavers instead of orc raiders occasionally, and some kids will giggle while playing stoners and acting like amoral psychopaths.  The only reason I don't feel the need to see an official gaming suppliment on them is because I know how easy it is to get the non-crunchy bits from better places.  (Well, that and I don't think WOTC can give them the depth a good documentary could, plus I don't think a "how truly sick some people are" suppliment would sell well, and it would turn off far more people than it could possibly entice.)That said, there will be a need for crunchy bits on much of this stuff, and I'd much rather a respected, known company give pointers than let groups either giggle or scratch their heads.  That way, at least I'll know that somewhere, someone's trying this in good taste, and that the penalties will outweigh the benefits in the long run.</blockquote>
