I am in my 50s and I find cartoonish evil dull. I prefer games with more gray areas because it gives different types of challenges. I know some people enjoy an evil campaign and I do think it would help to have a book on how to run that and how to play evil. It is not quite as simple as swapping roles the DM playing the good guys the players playing the bad guys.I can't run an evil campaign because I tend to utterly destroy the party. I don't enjoy watching my good NPCs slaughtered. I played in one well run evil campaign it worked because we didn't play our PCs as selfish monsters we all were in the service of an evil god so we out trying to bring our god's plans to fruition. To be honest that party worked better together than any good party I ever played in this was for two reasons not advancing our god's plan had consequences so that was more important that anything and if one failed we were all punished, So the rogue did not steal from the party because he knew if he was caught we would have turned him over to be tortured and sacrificed. We also were not playing cartoon villains who kill just for killing we were subtle trying not to bring attention to us our bring the attention of the powerful good churches attention on us.</blockquote>
