[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 7971105, member: 7006"] All of this. [USER=6785785]@hawkeyefan[/USER] has the right of it. No one just decides to "be evil". Because what is or isn't "evil" is a majority opinion of an entire society so "being evil" isn't actually a thing. Instead, you have personal beliefs or personal desires that you carry out that the rest of society is okay with, or which has decided is "evil". So there are no "evil campaigns"... instead, there are campaigns where the adventurers who have gotten together are making choices to do things that other people within the game world would consider to be bad or "evil". Decide what your character believes in and what your character wants... and then decide the reasoning for why they are doing it with a group of other people. Then once you all know why you are working together, how you all go about getting those things that your characters want will categorize your characters and group as "evil people" or not. What you write on your character sheet means nothing. How you actually behave is the determiner as to whether you are good or evil. [/QUOTE]
