My D&D experience has been predominantly 3 and 3.5; only within the last year have I gotten into 5e. Because of that, I really only know about D&D from back in the day, and during that time the two major offenders were The Book of Vile Darkness and the Book of Erotic Fantasy. Granted the latter was outsourced and technically not an official sourcebook, but the former was notorious for not just being signed off by Ed Stark, but heavily promoted by Dragon Magazine and virtually ignored all of the criticism that it was kinda-sorta justifying the famous "Satanic Panic".
What would you say was either the worst, most famous (or infamous), or just plain ridiculous sourcebook ever given the licensing seal of approval?
