[QUOTE="Jawsh, post: 5780062, member: 17061"] I agree that I like edgy things. But what elements exactly are we talking about? Polytheism/paganism? Already got it. Ghosts, goblins, demons, devils, witches? Got those. Violence, gore, torture? Yep, got those. Drugs and alcohol? Hmm, D&D could use more of those, in my opinion. And let's start with cocaine and heroin as a baseline. Magical fantasy drugs are fun to have in the game too, but I did not like seeing a litany of Abyssal drugs with no mention of real-world examples. Rules-wise, I doubt any of our real-world drugs have any effect on game statistics. For example, PCP makes you [I]feel[/I] stronger, but it doesn't make you stronger. Cocaine makes you [I]feel[/I] smarter and more alert, but doesn't actually do that. I'd like the Player's Handbook to point this out, and provide market prices. Not that cocaine or PCP would be available in the typical time period of D&D, so I'd suggest whatever historical analogs might be there. Opium, coca leaves, mild marijuana, mushrooms, wormwood. Sex? Rules for sex have always missed the mark. So I'm going to vote against rules for sex. But I wouldn't mind seeing some hotter storylines. It doesn't even have to be particularly explicit, but I'd like to see an affair between Regdar and Lidda. I do apologize if you have to go scrub your brain now. Um, [URL="www.google.com/images?q=kittens"]here's some pictures of kittens[/URL]. Nudity? I already made my thoughts known on the thread that got closed down. Short version: I'm for nudity, but not necessarily in every illustration. Just where it makes sense. Some monsters are naked. [/QUOTE]
