For one thing, being a bunch of obnoxious edgelords is a great way to get heroes on your tail, looking to kill you. If, instead, you seem to be like any other adventurers, but with villainous goals, you can get a lot further.I wouldn't want to run or play in a game that was all about "ooh, look, I just kicked the head off a peasant," either. But I think with a mature group -- and a group of powerful NPCs heroes on the lookout for edgelord nonsense -- it can be done and everyone can probably have a lot of fun.I would look at the villain comics by Mark Waid -- a guy who definitely is a big believer in Capital G Good Guys -- for how this might be done.</blockquote>
