Howard Conan story, but maybe that's just me.Again, since you have no idea where this product falls relative to the "bounds of normal decency" that's quite a claim to make.  Borderline slanderous, in fact.  I personally think that the worst interests of the industry include rehashing the same ideas that we've done for the last twenty-five or so years.  Going off the deep end in titillating debauchery is hardly the way to break that trend (I did mention I was conservative, right?) but we have no evidence that indeed the Book of Vile Evil does such a thing.I'm sure they're not.  I've bitten my tongue about a lot of things on this thread so far.  Depending on the content of this book, I may agree with you, in fact.  However, I don't think that will actually happen.  I have no problem with an unpopular opinion on the subject, as I have one myself, but in this case, your opinion is reactionary and uninformed.  You simply don't have much of anything to judge this by, so condemning it already is --at best-- premature.</blockquote>
