An Evil Revival

@a04a5220e9=Axel70:
Sure would like playing an evil Charcter though not alone…
One of the things I learnt about playing evil on Narfell - having friends is all the more important. And that doesn't mean evil friends - in fact, knowing evil, your character probably knows the lack of value of a truly evil friend
So, yeah, what Wolfhere said: Entertain even your character's enemies, make sure your character at least pretends to have friends, or you will be very, very lonely.
My Banite, for example, who wanted nothing more than to command about others, always kept in mind, that in order for him to be able to command troops, he would first need to show them how orders are followed. On the other hand, my Beshaban - well - she was an up in your face zealot.
She was mostly lonely, though.

I have one follower of Mask lurking in the server that I play regularly. So, if anyone is willing to throw in other followers of this dead god that is still expected to return someday (or already has one), I'd be more than eager to get bit of secretive underground "business" going on in that frontal as well. Of course the secrecy of followers is one thing that makes it difficulty getting us together in first place, but with bit of innovation and arranging I have no doubts it couldn't be done. Maybe even some DM might have interest in bringing the followers of the area together (hint,hint,hint)? ;).
I myself play mostly euro evenings (6gmt - 10gmt mostly). But yes, if you're interested and the schedule seems to match at some level, throw me a PM and let's figure something out.

I have an evil PC but he's just a sidekick. Somebody roll up a REALLY evil powerful guy and I'll be your sidekick.
If you can't find anyone to roll up a character for your sidekick I'll see about making one.
-
Perhaps an evil gnome sorceror called Luto Darkswell?

Healing and such would be a lot easier if there were more evils around, hence the thread
As for the ICC, as much as I love them, we can't let a bunch of stinky half-orcs have the monopoly!
-
Ok, so everyone make a half orc and join the clan!
-
There's plenty of evil on the server at the moment, just look at the Iron Chain Clan.
Now there's an evil group devoted to an evil god, and yet they have a lot of fun together, are able to find employment, and generally are heading where they want to go.
I agree that a lot of the old evils are gone, and that things could be spiced up by some more nasty PCs running around… even a lot of the old longer running evil organisations and individuals seem to have given up on evil in order to not be so lonely.
So remember, when you play evil, even when you play in a group situation that you WILL get lonely more than when you play a neutral or good character. It's often more important to be self sufficient and to not expect to be able to play with the support of a group at all times.
Healing may be difficult to get except from NPCs, and getting raised can be tricky as well.

Well you have my full support with this revival, I throw my character at you to do what you want with! But yeah, you really have to be careful. There's always someone who'll challenge you for doing evil, even to the point of stopping you by force. :oops:

I’m going to chime in here, because I played an evil character for a very long time. She was rather successful to a point, even after her “downfall”.
You really do have to be careful, particularly if you end up going directly against other characters. The players will forgive you if you entertain them while doing it, but to be blunt, there are some who will vocally resent it. Unless you have DM intervention at the time, it may not work out very well. Regardless, you better have some pretty thick skin.
This means that for your plans to be successful without opposing PC’s, they often require action against NPC’s. This means your group will be waiting on DM’s quite a bit, and that can lead to frustration.
However, when it works out, playing an evil character has its rewards. The evil character I played was able to directly influence two elections, plant false evidence, get characters jailed, ruin the repuation of others, and helped bring about the destruction of the old Gypsy Camp. What fun!

There are always players that want to play evil.
Problem is usually one of the following:
- consistency
- sanity
- not making it personal
- some other reason that makes DMs twinge
- said evil needing a DM on to do their thing
-
Your not the only one up to no good… there seem to be a few going down the dark path... but truly it's needed... DM's can't be playing the villains ALL the time.. so let some of these evil PC's get a chance to get powerful then once their truly a challenge fight them... and besides.... sometimes you must do that which it vile for the greater good....
-
Awesome! my buddy and I have been toying with some fiendish schemes…Evil is so ....fun...
Expect to see a few of us start populating the Darker places of the Forum!!
