[QUOTE="Bacon Bits, post: 8140225, member: 6777737"] With my group I'd have no problem with this theme. We've done evil drow campaigns before, although, to be fair, even those campaigns were highly cooperative. It's just that our goal was to do something that would have a bad outcome instead of a good one. Our group isn't interested in intra-party conflict because we don't find it fun for more than a one-shot. It's quite exhausting and leaves you with a lot of negative feelings that last throughout the week. Just isn't fun. In general I wouldn't play an evil campaign for more than, say, a short campaign of 8 or 9 months. Even if the party is cooperating, it can begin to leave lingering feelings that bleed into your personal life. Soaking in distasteful things can leave you feeling distasteful. I'm sure some groups can do it perpetually, but I find it starts to wear on you. As far as a non-drow in a drow city, that's pretty normal if the city is similar to Menzoberranzan. Any non-good races that live in the Underdark might frequent the location. Your game might feature a lot of racism or slavery to highlight the evil culture, but that takes a table willing to do that, too. Stereotypical drow cultures is also highly sexist. [/QUOTE]
