Message: <blockquote data-quote="Phasics" data-source="post: 3104767" data-attributes="member: 38866">Are there any existing or has anyone played around with making a world based on the idea that evil is the norm.Factions, Religions and Ideologies are all based on our notion of evil. It is the accepted and expected way of doing things thus in this world evil acts are techinically not considered evil. Tyrrany, opression, torture, slavery selfishness. is all part of society, it lies in everyone very core and everyone beleives it is right.Ther are pockets of resistence of "good" people who are considered the evil ones in this world. imagine healing a dying homeless person in the street only to be attacked for your trouble by the authorites since as you crossed a core belief that that homeless dying man is paying for his failure in this life or the last. e.g. religion(Pseudo Buddist)slaves believe that in a past life they failed in some way and that thier current lot in life is punishment for failing in the last. they do not dispise thoes above them they would however jump at any oporunity to improve thier own life at the expense of anyone else as they would beleive this is the way to a better life.The more power you have in this life the more power you will have in the next.Now the Law/Chaos axis still holds, just because everyone is evil by our standards dosent mean socitey dosen't function its just everyone's core values are completely differn't.Now insert this worlds evil "good" people. thoes who preach understanding, tollerance , abolisment of slavery, helping the less fortunate are considered enemies ofthe state in most cities and are hunted down by the local authorites much in the way evil people would be spurned and hunted down in a reuglar universe.Enter the adventuring group !just think of how many reverse scenario's there are. a world where you own cunning and ruthlessness will gain you respect from your peers. Or perhaps you want to be a goodie goodie and try and convert the whole world, GOOD LUCK , you'll need it LOL. bout as easy as trying to convert all the races in the Forgotten Realms to evil !</blockquote>
