[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 6219503, member: 29398"] Regarding "evil" content: throw it in. Throw it all in and let the individual tables/games/DMs/players sort it out. Regarding page count: there's a little game called Pathfinder that seems to be doing well enough these days, yet its basic rulebook is big enough and heavy enough to kill bears with. If it applies to players it should be in the PH (the question of exactly *what* applies to players vis-a-vis DMs e.g. magic item prices etc. is another thing entirely) and if it's well done people will buy it regardless of size. Regarding evil characters: I love 'em! As both player and DM if someone brings in a nasty character my usual first thought is "hey, this could be entertaining, let's see where it goes" while if someone brings in a paladin or other goody-two-shoes type my first thought usually "the boredom quotient of this game just went up". Regarding party infighting: it happens. Have fun with it! And if you're the DM when an in-party brawl breaks out don't get upset that your story has stalled for a while; instead just sit back and enjoy the entertainment... :) (the trick, of course, is to make sure you invite players who are mature enough and with-it enough to be able to whale on each other in the game and laugh it off outside it) Lan-"the boring part comes later when your lawful characters start suing each other to settle differences"-efan [/QUOTE]
