[QUOTE="Knight Otu, post: 839836, member: 192"] As for the Sigil's first question, yes, a distinct line would be a good idea. The second question... I'm split on that. Dungeon and Dragon should, in my opinion, be representative for the D&D game as a whole (that also means the D20 market!), and thus should include material that is usable for a wide range of people. What does that mean foe "Vile/Mature" material? For one, it would increase the breadth of material presented in the magazines, but it would make it less attractive for those who have a dislike for that material. It has been more or less proven that this material creates more reaction (positive or negative) than pretty much every other sort of material. Overall, I think Dragon and Dungeon would best be considered "Core" for the purpose of this discussion (Personally, I think a 1/year regular feature might be interesting - It would give people who want vile material just that, and people who dislike it can skip the issue. Not a perfect solution, but an idea). As for Anthony Valterra's questions - Yes, I think there is a market, and i would propably buy the books (of course, i buy pretty much everything WotC :o ). I don't think i would overly advertize the products, but I'd propably let people know that "This book might very much be what you are looking for". Defending the line... i usually try not to get into that kind of argument as they tend to get hot pretty quickly, but I guess I'd at least try from time to time. Participating... maybe. [/QUOTE]
