Which is the best villainous organisation in D&D?

[VorpalBunny]

I love using traditionally 'good' organizations (in the minds of players at least) and taking full advantage of their actual alignment.

Same here. The Theocracy of the Pale is probably my favorite "orginization" in Greyhawk to do this with.

In the more "traditional" vein, I've had pretty good games using the Emerald Claw, The Zhentarim, the Red Wizards of Thay, and in a broader scope the orcs of the Pomarj as villians.

Scarlet Brotherhood it is....you just can't beat race supremicists running their own long term eugenics program.

Less the 4% voted for the kargatane? Excellent! Their undercover work is not in the public eye, that's good news to us ...

red wizards - classic magocratic oppression - such elements define my homebrew campaign.

The Scarlet Brotherhood holds the legacy of the ancient Suel Imperium. Basically, they're the Nazi Germany, trying to subjugate all races under the yoke of the Suel....

Sounds like my kind of organization (as a DM, of course).

*thinking of various ways I could rip-off, errr borrow, for my homebrew*
