[QUOTE="boschdevil, post: 842057, member: 10221"] This honestly was a serious question to clarify the situation. There is another thread that is going around denoting "mature" situations such as reprocussions to action, per se. To this, I don see this as a bad variant and would be interested to possibly add component of this style, if I haven't already. Surprise, surprise. I voted "Yes" because I'm [i]not[/i] against publication of the material. It is that I'm against [i]the publication of the material in core rule books, Dungeon magazine, and Dragon magazine[/i]. In fact, I voted that way on this thread as well. Oh, and by the way, that poll doesn't say that I'm a minority. In the text area, there are thread that note that they voted "Yes" but say that they have the same concerns with placing this material in mainstream D&D publications. Also, (a) I do agree with the opinions like Tiefling that it is a big assumption when you say that ENWorlds poster population completely mirrors the D&D community and (b) the poll is not set up to really gauge true opinions of "Vile" material. It is just that Vile (or Mature) material should just stay out of the mainstream D&D sources so that it can target the largest population of the gaming public as possible. It should be in supplements (like Book of Vile Darkness) and a magazine dedicated to Vile material (call it "Black Dragon" or "Headless Honcho" or whatever) if you feel strongly that there is a core population of gamers that would support such a magazine. Thus, my opinions are not grounded in my desire for purity but really are based on trying to keep the D&D gaming population as broad as possible. At the very least, the "Vile" material is at leas polarizing to the D&D population. That really isn't good to the long-term health of the game. [/QUOTE]
