[QUOTE="Femerus the Gnecro, post: 274128, member: 2381"] Having played a long term evil pc in a campaign of 'heroes', as you can imagine I have a rather unique perspective on this issue. Over the course of the campaign, it became pretty obvious to the other players that I wasn't entirely in line with their moral standard, but they accepted me as part of the group for a variety of reasons, the most prominent one being that I had saved all of them several times during the course of the campaign. However, I also used them to further my own ends. In the end, I was even directly responsible for the death of a PC, indirectly responsible for the deaths of two others. Basically, evil characters, as you pointed out, are mostly motivated by selfishness and a need for power. The only difference between this trait in an evil campaign and the same trait in a 'good' campaign is that the PC's can be honest about their wants instead of trying to justify their desire for power through weak roleplaying or blatant metagaming. Evil games can be fun, provided they're run with evil characters in mind. Good luck! -Femerus [/QUOTE]
