The PCs are going to be easy picking for people who are Worse News than they are. The bad guys in the campaign now become the criminal underworld.  Perhaps a local crime boss forces them to work for him - or else. See how they like that! Gives you a campaign villain, and keeps them under reign, to a certain extent. And they still have the local rulers as enemies... There are plenty of possibilities with this type of campaign.Of course, if you really don't want to run this sort of game, that's your call, so as others have said, chat to your players and see if you can find a playing style you can all enjoy. Personally, I don't like having evil PCs in my game world, and I ask my players not to go down this route, as I think it can easily lead down a darker path than I want to go down. However, I'm a big wuss at heart, and not everyone has the same qualms I do. Hopefully, you can find a style that you and your players all enjoy.</blockquote>
