Phew!

This is make it or break it.

Ah, I see. The OP requests this If the poster refuses to accept the [+] thread, let me check in with Enworld on what the forum rules say.

Friendly reminder that this is a +++++ thread, which is experimental and means a lot of things, including positive contributions to the "What if"? hypothetical premise in the OP. The hypothetical premise includes the possible question of what moral framework the author of the adventure might be...

Also I think there's another great point which have been touched upon by @Steampunkette and @Enrahim2 and maybe others. In "How to Be Perfect", here are some examples of angst one can go through when making moral decisions: Oh, You Bought a New iPhone? That's Cool. Did You Know That Millions...

And this is all contextual to the group... If the party is entirely composed of all "Evil" PCs, then the PCs likely just want to survive this mission (and then go back to their old "Evil" ways). If they achieve the "feel good" ending, it could be entirely incidental. However, at the player...

Yes! This was covered in the book I mentioned in the OP. The book also covers Aristotle's virtues, Kant, utilitarianism, etc. The book used the Trolley Problem as a guide for thinking about "good" and "bad" and ethical dilemmas in a way more thoughtful way.

Happy to discuss/clarify/learn better!

That’s interesting idea, but even in the heyday of the 9 alignments, I don’t know that there was a demand for that. I personally wouldn’t suggest that.

I am not too familiar with that expression, but this is a safe place to discuss, as long as it's part of the +++++ and I think your points are valid! So no worries and all good on my end!

This is a + thread 🙏 The intent of this + thread is to offer a psychologically-safe and efficient and effective option to discuss the basic premise described below. By participating in this thread, please make positive contributions to the premise. If you don't agree with the below premise...

I don't understand how this question is pertinent to the specific assertion that TheSword made or to the entirety of what I wrote (unfortunately, you stripped out almost all of it and cherry-picked only 7 words in your quote), but here is what ChatGPT has to say about that in general:

I wrote " those who engage in serious crimes", not just "criminals". I was thinking of very serious crimes, while trying to avoid getting caught up in Evil labels. I catch your drift and I have considered it and it does not lead to me the same conclusion of "Definitely not a good idea to get a...

Some fictions explain some things a lot and other things a little. For example, a hard sci-fi novel might devote many pages to how-to's of time travel, and the romcom will never explain how he travels back to the past via a closet. This question of mine is most pertinent to RPGs with levelling...

It's maybe not a good idea I would not say it's definitely not a good idea Assuming that: 1. The other adventures in the module have set-ups with good/positive intentions (which seems to be the case according to the reviews I read) 2. The other adventures facilitate or are mindful of at least...

Here's one hypothesis: Perhaps my question-asking is throwing you off because you're so used to some sort of status quo of telling people how you think it is about them, instead of asking via polite inquiry how it actually is with them? Another hypothesis: my question-asking seems excessive to...

You put all this work into building something, and it just takes just one doofus to bring it all down again, doesn't it.

Not that it's any of your business, but I've had an illness this week. I am not working this week and thus have extra time. Fortunately, I am feeling better and expect to go back to my regular offline life, with less time to post (or homebrew). Seriously, every time I start to second-guess...

I really wish I had a thick skin, and I am also old (and hopefully wise) enough to accept that if I was going to grow one by now, I would have. That said, a lot of my question asking, is my way of exploring what my options are here to your latter point.
