[QUOTE="Jfdlsjfd, post: 8856084, member: 42856"] Sure, I am right with you. SOMETIMES you want to let the steam off and be in "action movie mode". Which is easier with clear-cut adversary you don't have to mind about. Which doesn't preclude alternating with more serious stories. But, I was told that even calling for some of this fun of having an option of "not sparing" their enemies was speaking from a position of priviledge, so I'd really like to know how one can deal with the ending of Spelljammer ethically, without explicit or implicit "always evil" opponents. I'd also say that the level of expectations of having D&D totally devoid of this "clear cut" situation is far above that the public expectation on films and novels is, given the success of superhero movies or action movies. Sure, it's the opposite that can't continue (ie, not sparing their adversary and killing them because it is more convenient to do so and they are evil anyway). [/QUOTE]
