[QUOTE="Chrisling, post: 438227, member: 6816"] I've had serial killers! One was pretty strongly based on some of the shady, conspiracy theory sorts of things around Jack the Ripper. There was a demon cult in town and a nobleman was murdering women and children . . . who happened to be the mothers of women the former king had bastard children by, and the children themselves. It seemed almost pattern-less because the old king's debaucheries went on for three decades. So, that guy wasn't really a serial killer -- people just thought he was. He was, in truth, just an evil sonofabitch who thought he was doing the kingdom "good" by eliminating rivals to the throne. The second serial killer I had took advantage of many of the sorts of things that go on in fantasy games. He was a serial killer, no doubt, (or maybe a mass murderer a la Mickey from "Natural Born Killers," hehe) but when captured he basically bluffed his way to freedom. He was eventually hunted down and killed, but during those adventures I sorta pointed out the moral ambiguity created by assumptions that, y'know, there are mind-control magic and possessions in the game. It was pretty cool. Even the PCs were fooled into thinking the murderer was possessed and not just an evil bastich. [/QUOTE]
