Message: <blockquote data-quote="RogueJK" data-source="post: 208725" data-attributes="member: 170">The Book of Vile Darkness will be very different from Lords of Darkness.  LoD describes the various evil power groups of the Realms.  It includes some prestige classes and locations for the groups, as well as their history and background.  BoVD, on the other hands, will detail such topics as torture, slavery, prostitution, demon worship, necromancy, etc.  It will be the official WotC sourcebook on evil.  If you want to compare the Book of Vile Darkness to something, it's much closer to something like AEG's Evil.From the d20reviews entry for the Book of Vile Darkness..."Monte Cook says:If I wrote a book called The Book of Vile Darkness, I would fill it with the most hideously evil spells, feats, prestige classes, magic items, artifacts, monsters and NPCs that you'd ever want to put in a D&D game. I would include rules for the benefits evil cultists get from sacrifices, new poisons, diseases, and so on.  I would also include plenty of DM advice on running evil villains, villainous plots, evil organizations, and so on. I would include a little, but not a lot of, discussion on running evil PCs.  Oh, and did I mention that the "monsters" that I would put in there would include all the major archdevils and demon princes? And their various minions, and those that revere them almost like gods?Thats what I would do. If I wrote a book called the Book of Vile Darkness."</blockquote>
