[QUOTE="SableWyvern, post: 1810991, member: 1008"] Hmm... Perhaps it is as simple as that. I'm just wondering how easy it will be to convince the group that, as predominantly Lawful Good and Lawful Neutral characters, supporters of Chaotic Good are the enemy, while Lawful Evil are allies. No one ever blinks an eye at Lawful Good and Chaotic Good characters teaming up. Lawful Good and Lawful evil working together? That's another issue entirely. I suppose if the threat is grand enough, it's not really a huge stretch. Of course, the next question is, what is that our Chaotic Good and Chaotic Evil friends are doing hand in hand that creates this threat? I suppose that could be the erasure of organised society from the world. Ooh, ooh, ... since Lawful took centre stage when the gods returned, perhaps the lesser forces of Chaos have decided that "each Man shall be his own nation, his own law and his own god". There might be something there I can run with... But this is the problem I have. The Lawful Good dwarves will, in most people's expectations, treat with Lawful Chaotic persons, even if they don't like their philosophies. If Law-Chaos becomes the focal axis for conflict, then said dwarves should be as prone to dealing with Devils as they are prone to dealing with Chaotic Good outsiders in a traditional setting where Good-Evil is the axis of focal conflict. To really play up Law vs Chaos effectively as a grand conflict, I think you need to break down the traditional, skewed axis, and reskew it with Law-Chaos being stronger opposites than Good-Evil.
