[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 3045790, member: 177"] I find it refreshing to see a player like this, actually. So few people want to play the "bad guys", and are ready and willing to take the fall. Most of the time, when I run into someone who plays evil, I find I'm dealing with someone who wants no consequences - they want all the benefits, but none of the detriments. A player who likes playing a villain in a classic manner (complete with losing in the end) is cool in my book :) Hey, players are allowed to have preferences. So are GMs. The only thing that would be unfair is having that preference, but not warning those who play evil of it. I am pretty up-front about it in my games: I will allow you to play an evil character, but I will do absolutely nothing to protect you from the heroic characters while you do so. If you can't handle what the authorities or other PCs will do when they find out, don't play evil. [/QUOTE]
