Looking for the Book of Vile Darkness, out of curiosity. Everyone describes it as the Necronomicon or a real life De Vermis Mysterii.
Tried using the archive, but it only seem to lead me to OPs.

The 3e Book of Vile Darkness supplement should be required reading for GMs. Too much stuff that is "evil" is just fundamentally the same as "good" or "neutral" with extra horns or something else extremely superficial.
The BoVD really breaks down what the game means when it describes something as evil, the consequences of being evil, and the kind of shit evil beings do in their downtime.
For fuck's sake 5e has Warlocks making pacts with devils as a starter class option and that is treating them no different than any other mage type mechanically on the whole. BG3's big punishment for such a pact? You got horns now. In a game where about 20% of the population has horns anyway.
The tameness that infected the hobby after 3e is frankly mind boggling.
