[QUOTE="Lazybones, post: 247465, member: 143"] I admit, I've thought a lot of the same things Nathanael brought up in his post. I do acknowledge that it isn't going to be as "bad" as the title/concept outline would imply; after all, this is Hasbro/WotC we're talking about. Still, after the whole tanaari/baatezu thing, and the stigma still attached to D&D in many quarters (many of the players I know still refuse to admit they play in casual company), it seems like a needless risk. Of course, this weekend I'm slated to play in an all-evil humanoids campaign set in Middle Earth, so maybe I can't talk. All in all I like the way WotC took the "this game is for heroes, evil alignments are for villains" tack in the new game. I know there will always be those who prefer the darkside of the game, but I can't help but think that things like this new sourcebook only aid those who would like to see our hobby continue to be marginalized.
