[QUOTE="Warpiglet, post: 7119712, member: 6689161"] It is as simple as playing checkers in a sense. We are all supposed to have fun together. If a character is predicated on disrupting the campaign and swimming against everyone else's current there is a problem. Recently, my DM wanted a good group to take on some evil plots in his campaign. Most evil characters would need extra incentive to help and manufacturing reasons to help the other players etc. did not sound like that much fun to him. We also have a few newer players with us. But I wanted to play a darker character...we discussed it. My LN focus on smashing evil was a fine fit. I was not neutral and only self interested. My LN character values the team. He is just not as focused on mercy missions as some of the other characters. No big deal. We compromised and he modified his rules to "no evil or chaotic neutral characters, please." Work together. Everyone should win. There are a few who like to disrupt but I have rarely ever seen anyone TALK with them about compromising. People usually suffer quietly and complain on forums. I am all for agreements about tone and purpose. We have also had a fair share of evil parties. Here again, we knew where we stood. The DM I mentioned loved those campaigns but we also had an understanding. [/QUOTE]
