[QUOTE="Scruffy nerf herder, post: 8557219, member: 7034614"] Thank you for mentioning that glaring problem with the poll. I've fixed it and people can now say that they prefer not to play with evil PCs. It's fair for you to criticize me for mentioning this viewpoint I've been exposed to a lot when it's not really a thing here. For clarity's sake though I am not only new to the site but have been bombarded with talk like that on various platforms for years, it's been to the point that just because I run non-traditional campaigns sometimes I couldn't feel comfortable sharing about the campaign with other D&D players. You're not the first who I've read saying they never enjoyed playing an evil PC. I agree that it's definitely not for everyone and what's most important is all of the players having fun, and less important is catering to myself or another player who fancies the idea. It's not like any of us will fail to have fun with a good character. It's also really cool how different DMs enjoy running baddies for their own reasons. I love playing villains because I can use them to challenge the players on the most fundamental level. The villain isn't merely a thing to be repulsed by and get some visceral reaction from, they force the PCs to have authentic convictions because they're directly opposed to them. [/QUOTE]
