[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 3631660, member: 11760"] I have multiple EGs in my campaign. The BBEG seems more mysterious than he really is, simply because intelligence on him is limited and mostly comes through highly unreliable sources (especially an allegedly independent MBEG). But he's pursuing a fairly straightforward plan to destroy the barony, requiring multiple McGuffins and sending agents to collect them. He also is planning on doing non-subtle things like assassination attempts and raids. OTOH, the MBEG is subtle to the point of being seen as being one of the good guys by everyone but the player characters, making him a different sort of challenge. And then there's the local bishop, who's not a bad guy at all, but is an antagonist nonetheless, pursuing an agenda counter to the player characters', with considerable political might to back it up. And finally, there's the REALLY subtle group operating just under the player characters' noses that they don't know anything about yet, despite having interacted with them since the very first adventure of the campaign.
