[QUOTE="Ulrick, post: 3887776, member: 775"] I think that WotC might actually be trying to create a backlash toward D&D. The backlash in the late 1970s/early 1980s helped cause sales to soar. People become intrigued when somebody says, "don't do that." People are also intrigued by the concept of evil. The number of money making movies over the years and video games like Diablo are evident of this. WotC is just trying get its piece of the pie. What concerns me is how bad the back-lash could be on an individual basis. There are no ends certain religious people will do to enforce their convictions. I've seen this firsthand back in high school when my best friend's parents flipped when they found his D&D books. They rounded up their family and took my friend along with all of his D&D stuff and went for a drive in the country. They found a secluded spot, dumped all his books in the ditch, and burned them while they prayed for his soul. It emotionally scarred him. And then they yelled at me and wanted me to burn my books!
