[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 8557476, member: 4534"] I don't know if I've heard it in those terms exactly. Despite all the jokes about characters being murder hobos, most D&D groups I know of don't really care to have evil characters. At the end of the day, they want their characters to be heroes. And then there are other games where the PCs [I]are[/I] evil. [I]Vampire the Masquerade[/I] is a prime example of an extremely popular game where pretty much each PC was a villain. Is it really common for someone tell you playing an evil character makes you a bad player? It's not so weird when you consider that many of us have heard "It's what's my character would do!" to justify character actions that make the game less fun for others. Including that edgy gruesome stuff. That said, it's rather silly to think that evil characters are automatically going to turn on members of their party. Members of their party whom they depend on for survival and all that. When it comes to fantasy most of us are rooting for Arthur and Gandalf not Mordred and Saruman. [/QUOTE]
