[QUOTE="Jehosephat, post: 1113187, member: 14128"] Maybe they will release a sanitized version of the BoVD. They could call it the Book of Not So Nice Darkness. Seriously though, they have from the get go said that the Book of Erotic Fantasy is inappropriate. Frankly, IMO, I think they are right on this one. I have no interest in seeing the game turn into Dungeons & Dominatrices. IMO before this happened a certain sector of the D&D corpus was heading in the direction of soft core porn. And I feel like it is certainly within their legal right to dictate what images are associated with the game. If the BoEF got published in its planned form, what would be next? The envelope would just get pushed more and more. What is unfortunate, is that Wizards themselves started this whole mess with publication of the BOVD. I think it will create a backlash of some sort from publishers as they already appear to be looking at other options. Likewise, fans of the game also apprear to be miffed about this whole thing and I see a schism on the horizon. It's enough to make me want to shelf my RPG's in favor of Axis & Allies, between this and the White Wolf saga. Because while I said I don't want the game to come to be known as Dungeons & Dominatrices, I also don't want it to come to be known as Litigations and Lawyers. I dunno, this morning I am pretty ticked of at the industry all the way around. Just my two coppers. [/QUOTE]
