[QUOTE="Jhaelen, post: 5668464, member: 46713"] I don't like evil pcs either. Here's what I do: Before I start a campaign I send everyone a short intro which mentions that evil-aligned pcs aren't allowed. Done. How do you know unless you try? Make the proposal and see what your players think. Discuss it. Think about what kind of campaign you'd enjoy DMing and tell them about it. Maybe you players will surprise you. Why? (see above) Nope. I can tell you from experience that playing in a bad game (or one you don't enjoy) is worse than not playing at all. I also know from experience that people who I enjoyed playing with 25 years ago can easily be the ones I don't enjoy playing with at all these days. My preferences have changed, their's didn't. We still get along well in general, but we no longer agree about anything regarding rpgs and we don't have fun if we're in the same game group together. It happens. There's no use trying to force things. It just painful for everyone involved. I also have a hard time believing youre 'stuck' with these players. If they really don't share your idea of a fun game and aren't prepared to compromise to ensure you're having fun, too, it's time to look for new players. As a last alternative, if you don't want to look for new players and if you don't mind being a player in a game with an evil pc party, suggest that one of your current players becomes DM for your group.
