[QUOTE="Lord Crimson, post: 5704765, member: 6679258"] This has been my experience. [B]Playing a party of evil characters =/= playing a bunch of PCs that spend all day screwing each other over.[/B] I had an evil campaign I DM'd for [I]years[/I]. All the players did was operate from the assumption that dicking over the other PCs [I]was just not acceptable[/I]. Dicking over anyone else, though? [I]Totally fair game[/I]. Hell, I even had them working for more heroic NPCs. Because, when the chips were down, they were the most capable people in the region. And knowing that things were bad enough that the "good guys" were coming to them? Well, now they could justify an extortionate "reward" for their "good deed". And even evil characters know that something more powerful and more evil than them is dangerous and needs to be stopped. And if it threatens their lives and illicitly-acquired goods, castles, and nations? Now they're [I]really[/I] motivated. ("We stole all this stuff fair and square.
