Message: <blockquote data-quote="Zappo" data-source="post: 832766" data-attributes="member: 633">So the only evil should be the plotting, scheming evil?Apart from the fact that I find this concept a bit reductive, I don't see why the people who dislike vile material can't just ignore it.*I*, instead, am getting fed up with villains that plot, scheme, laugh, send flowers to the PCs and, despite being (metaphorically and sometimes literally) fiends, never actually do something as sick and insane as any human psychopath could do. There are dozens, hundreds of villains like that.Yet I don't pop into every thread about "my BBEG is hatching a plan that in a dozen years, during which he will look just like a member of the upper class, will take him to the leadership of the empire", saying that everyone has seen a dozen of those "clever" plots already. Why don't I pop into every etcetera? Because it doesn't have any influence whatsoever on any game that involves me, and because I have faith in the guys that post such threads that they will certainly find some way to make the trite interesting.So can't the same be said for vile content?</blockquote>
