That was damn funny, sir.

I wish my evil campaign experience would have even been that evil. After years of harassing me to GM an evil campaign, I finally relented and did so. It was sad how vanilla they were. I thought it was a hoot, though - after all that time they didn't even have it in them to be evil. So funny.

I was once dragged into playing in an evil campaign... and i have to say, i wasn't exactly Dr Evil. Hell, i wasn't even Mr Evil.

Though to be fair the DM and the other Players seemed to assume that being evil meant doing Everything in an evil way... which is garbage. You can pay your taxes, help little old ladies, and feed stray cats and still be a monstrously evil person.

Yes, and then when everyone THINKS you're a saint, you betray everyone and destroy everything in one fell swoop. That, to me, is far more evil than running around lighting babies on fire.

In one of the Domesday books (the newer ones) there's a good article about playing evil.

Evil characters tend not to do well in my campaigns. This stems in part from the thinking mentioned above, that in order to be evil 'everything' has to be done in a evil way.

Characters who do every single thing they do in an 'evil' way would likely have a short lifespan in most of my campaigns.

In one of the last 3.x game I actually got to play in I ran Celedor, my NE elf rogue. Yeah, I know, NE is like the easiest and and mildest of evil alignments (at least in my book) but I did it really well (not to toot my own horn or anything). I was the most selfish, greediest, self-centered, and cowardly character I ever saw in a campaign. I just wish that character would have gotten played before my players wanted to do evil, so I could have offered that workshop free of charge.

Just avoid Evil PCs in tournament games where the players have just come together for the 1st time.... trust me, it won't be pretty.....
