Review title: Vile, yes. Dark, yes. Worthwhile? No.
Product review: It's Evil alright. It's the kind of Evil that I, as a long-time DM, have had arrive in a campaign or two, but it's not what I had heard or had expected. It's pretty pointlessly evil as well. It's the darkest black, the most unequivocably evil things in the Dungeons and Dragons world.... and it's really not what had been anticipated. I had thought it'd be a book settled in mature subjects as in mature in the handling of a broad scope of items left completely to the whim and handling of DM's, such as mature interactions and things more along the lines of the Book of Carnal Knowledge (Internet publication for 2nd Edition) as well as "untouchable" subjects such as slavery, etc. Instead it is simply torture, darker paths of magic, rules for evil for evil's sake. All in all, If it hadn't been a gift to another DM, I'd never have purchased it. If you want to have evil things spelled out for you or have rules for absurdly evil NPC's, this book is for you.
