This D&D is a harsh game. I just lost my character et al. The stirges got me in a night time attack at the camp on the hill when the fire sputtered low, a player said grimly despondent. Give me the dice. I'll roll another.
First roll? Dice out of the box. "Void" came the terrible cry! The chorus in grave unison fell automatic and nod unconscious!!!
Roll again. Dungeons & Dragons? Such is the Wizard's Amulet: www.necromancergames.com/pdf/WA-Revised.pdf. What is stirge death? It is of the glutton - utterly and truly blood sucking horrific gorging by little b-astard birds from hell that are both aware of the feeding and f-ucking savor the scarlet feast?
Back in black? Verily; only rot grub Geds feed mindlessly - you know that. There's some good adventure interior art & classic monster tomes (from multiple sources), for example, which aim for nothing less than the thus conveyance of the staid opportune. T for Texas. As levels progress the game gets magnificently twisted. The feeding becomes more cupped - bass and depraved...
Question: does a new greying market or one that looks forward only to this play table view 'milieu' require a new look at the Rated R game or M game. Hubba hubba. M for mature. N for North...
You play D&D? You're not mature. That was high school.
You're going to your D&D friends again? You're not mature. That could have been your 20s.
You're still hanging out with that D&D crowd? You're not mature. Was that your 30's?
You're going to play D&D again? You're not...
...Woman, I will crush your face with a battle axe!!!
So informed I look toward Heavy Metal with its Heavy Metal babes all sporting Heavy Metal a-sses and I smile awhile. Yet, as good as the dark fiction therein can be (and all hail), I can likewise get truly sophisticated notions of a dozen subjects (arcane or otherwise) straight out of the very best D&D publishers (past and present). And much of it remains locked in a PG 13, push it to R occasionally.
Answer: what does an R product that pushes M look like, if it were to preserve the playability of the game? If kung fu means 'horse walking slowly' (it does), what are the hinderances for that kind of product? The recent map discussion on the other thread (located here:necromancergames.yuku.com/topic/11722/FGG-seems-to-have-irked-the-OSR-blogosphere?page=4) treads on that.
The same bat issues. Hello baby!!! Chantilly lace and a pretty face... The same fat graphics.

“Summon the Amphibious Ones: This eleven-hour ritual can be completed only on a fog-shrouded night. The sorcerer must obtain the root of potency found only in ruined apothecaries of the Snake-Men. The sacrifice is a virgin White girl eleven years old with long hair. The sorcerer, after partaking of the root, must engage in sexual congress with the sacrifice eleven times, afterwards strangling her with her own hair. As her life leaves her body, 10-100 of the Amphibious Ones will coalesce out of the mists.” - Carcosa, page 31There is perhaps little impedence at all regards this horror sport - save one. In the past, young hoards drove the market. Thus, PG and PG13 restrained. And so too, even then, where "she did", she didn't. Wall it - the civic, insane, just, bizarre, burlesque, ludicrous, hollowed, hallowed, sublime midnight hour, blacktop, blasphemous tribute, or the plane walking, bone crunching, brain sucking, eternal hero'd reality that your character calls cure for pain. There is the legend of Wooley Swamp. And there are artists that agree. Brom. Giger. Berry. Creedence. Others...
