Hi,
First Ill get my prideful statement out of the way. For some time, Ive been running AL in 2 locations. Its taken a bit out of me (I also run Wed Encounters) and Ive been looking to recruit another Expeditions DM. I finally have found one I hope and we both ran Shackles of Blood last Saturday (myself for 7 players and he for 6: Now that I think about it .. probably not the best scenario to give to a brand new AL DM)
Now I had a Paladin on my table who was LG. He asked another guy (who had a Sailor background) what his alignment was after the player described their character who wanted to kill all the other pirates who had abandoned him
'Oh Im Chaotic Neutral'
'So am I'
. Fully 5/7 characters were CN. I had a NG Cleric/Wizard and the Paladin who was LG.
5 of them. Is it the go to alignment for murder hobos? Is it the alignment people pick because 'I couldnt pick NE and being Good is boring..'. Im not sure. It did have me a little worried however.
What I noticed was that these 5 seemed to hang back a bit and let the good people do the social interaction. One of my players is notorious for saying 'Im only here to hit things (he plays a Barbarian). So at this point Im unsure if a full party of CN would continue in after the Tinfellows or in this case were being pushed by the Cleric and Paladin.
Now Im not here to start an alignment debate. I know that one person will surely start one below in the replies. I really just wanted to relate my experience of what I feel is happening locally.
( I generally dont ask for alignment, and I only occasionally get the pcs to describe their character and name they want to be called and anything 'strange' about their character. (ie someone is red skinned ) etc. )
