Such a shame. Such a damn shame, just think of the wind whistling through your ... Small intestine hair. Doesn't it sound enchanting?

Such a shame you didn't follow through.

I was so looking forward to the show.

How do you tell a satisfying story about an evil character (not just an antihero) who neither redeems nor pays for their misdeeds?

I find a long and complex story with near misses and close scrapes about the eventual achievement of my aspirations quite engaging,but then, its about me.

I don't understand the appeal of being evil either, but that matches with my taste in literature and movies. I like epic stories of good defeating evil. To me, this is what a Pathfinder game is about. When I GM, I require all PCs to have a good alignment of some kind. I would not play as any character with a neutral alignment ( on the G/E axis, NG is fine), let alone evil. I know some players are looking for a different kind of game/story, but I don't get it.

Sounds awful.

- Evil doesn't reliably work out for its practitioners.

Hi I would like to talk to you about Szuriel, shes a Demigod, she was an Evil queen, I would like to introduce you to Baba Yaga, she makes people into Demi gods as punishment. Asmodeus is having a pretty darn good time, he's evil, he has the keys to the universe destruction engine, he gets what he wants.

Evil works for people. Like a lot. Sometimes pesky adventures kill out brethren, but mostly they don't.

So when an evil PC happens they aim for those guys^^^ not cultist number 3 who got smited. Just like when a good PC happens they aim for Luke Skywalker, not rebel number 3 whose head Darth vader popped.

I see this so often. I really wonder where this particular myth started. Yes, there are absolutely people who know that what they do is evil - they make no justification. They also aren't insane. In fact, they are much more terrifying than the unhinged psychopath of pop culture. These are people who fully understand the weight of their actions, appreciate the value of life and love, and yet willingly chose to ignore every moral impulse they have to satisfy whatever drives them. A true psychopath cannot experience empathy for another creature. But what's more chilling than someone who can feel empathy, but chooses not to?

Evil is not banal. Evil is the callous impulse to put the self before all others, consequences be damned. Some evil people might delude themselves; others might be nuts. But then there are the subtle ones. The ones who might not take pleasure from hurting or killing, but will absolutely resort to it should the situation call for it. Cross them and you will die. But it's nothing personal.

I tend to agree, why should I want to be good? Haven't you heard? Wicked Always Wins!

And I very much enjoy winning.
