[QUOTE="Thorgrim Sekkrhrafn, post: 5778541, member: 54900"] Huh, that's interesting how different styles of campaigning come out. The world I created WTF back in '89 was centered around a massive, multi-continental empire ruled by lich-like god-emperors. The imperial default alignment was Lawful Neutral. The civilization itself was nearly 45,000 years old and some of the god-emperors of the ruling line had served for several millennia at a pop. There were laws, rules, regulations, and precepts for everything under the sun. So long as you followed the letter of the law, you were good. Whether or not the law itself was morally right was another topic entirely but it didn't matter because the pantheon's emphasis was on, you guessed it, following the Law. So many of my players had Lawful alignments. I never had a hangup with letting in Lawful Evil characters so there were even a couple of those over the years. A Chaotic Neutral was a rare bird. I can only recall DMing two of them, ever. And not for long at that. In that civilization, you don't live too long if you openly and willfully break the law. Even Rogues had chartered guilds that were quasi-blessed to do nasty things. So long as the overall stability of the regime was satisfied, there were ways to find loopholes in the various laws regarding petty things like, oh, breaking and entering or larceny ;-)! But, be that as it may, I don't mind CN being in there. He or she had better be ready for the pain, though. ;-) [/QUOTE]
