[QUOTE="Nail, post: 1282815, member: 224"] [b]Thanks![/b] It's nice to hear that others (besides my great players) are hanging around. Thanks! That's one of the big things that makes writing so fun (and difficult!). As for Calebbleed: I don't normally go for the "vile" material, but I wanted it to be clear which side of the court Calebbleed was playing on. Evil can come in many forms, and most of them ain't pretty. Evil being something truely aweful is easy to loose sight of, especially with the cardboard-cut-out villians so common in fantasy. Besides, our meeting was the day before Halloween! :) Overall, I'd like players to be able to make alignment judgements on their own...with the additional information from religion, gods, and the church. For example, it [u]didn't[/u] take Thaile's religious teaching to tell her Calebbleed was evil. But her religious training [u]does[/u] teach that kobolds and the walking dead are evil -- teachings that she has begun to doubt, as she sees evidence to the contrary. Believe it or not, but the Cleric of Darmon is even beginning to think that some undead might be Good..... [/QUOTE]
