Hi,
first off, I´m from Germany so my grammar might not be the best.
I´m a DM for almost 16 Years now and I´m DMing pathfinder for at least 5 years. Normaly I prefer good campaigns with player characters that resemble the heroes of the setting or at least helpfull adventurers, but this time I wanted to change things a little up.
My group consists of four players, two of which are real powergamers and two that prefer style over substance. All our campaigns are 25 point builds and the stories are always homemade. Just a couple of weeks ago our last campaign started to close in to the end and I offered a new Idea to my group:
How about playing the Bad guys for a change? And I mean the realy BAD guys. Endboss, take over the world like bad guys. I overed them that each one could play an evil Charakter starting level 14 with templates up to +2 CR.
I got two very happy, nodding people on one side of the table and two slightly less eager reactions on the other side. Then i told them the catch: The "campaign" would only last for about 5 adventures and the characters they build would be the endbosses for the following good campaign.
I swear if it would have been humanly possible my two powergamers would have smiled even wider.
Yesterday we started and here is what i got:
1 Dhampir Nightmare Lord Alchemist (Grenadier) lvl 14
1 Human Contract Bound (Erynie) Sorcerer lvl 14
1 Gnome Vampire Bones-Oracle (with vile Leadership) lvl 14
1 Human Mummy Lord Antipaladin lvl 14
The first two are my style players and the second two will probably bring the endtimes two golarion.
I just wanted to share this and look for some opinions. I still don´t know how I came to think this might be a good idea but I guess I will get some laughs out of it.
