Also, the DM needs to be more firm in establishing a reason for the party members to be working together.However, a lot of the quests still work. Just because an adventure was originally designed around a group of good guys going in and killing things, evil characters will often do exactly the same thing. They'll even do it for the same reasons - gold, glory, etc... Evil parties will even fight to save the world from destruction - after all, what good is all your gold and glory if some dumbass blows up the planet and you don't have anywhere to enjoy it? I've also played in a campaign where only one character was evil - a Lawful Evil monk. The character concept was that he had decided that he was the most capable and beneficial person to be in charge, so he would attempt to rule the world. If this meant deposing good, fair rulers, as well as the deaths of a few million innocents, so be it. The rest of us put up with him because a) he was useful to have around and b) it seemed pretty unlikely that he'd ever actually get anywhere on the world domination track. I even played a Chaotic Evil character once. The campaign premise was, at that point, that we were an elite group of assassins (the profession, not the PrC) and each adventure was centered around us attempting to kill a particular person. So when a character died and it came time to create a new one, I made a CE sniper. His specialty was one-shot kills from afar with his suped-up bow. He killed entirely for the personal pleasure he recieved from doing so, and the assassin group was the perfect place for him to both do what he loved and get paid for it. After a while, playing the role of the hero gets kind of dull. I think playing the bad guy is tremendous fun and a nice change of pace. I also love computer games like Evil Genius and Hitman, where you as the player are pitted against the good guys.</blockquote>
