I honestly never really understood evil campaigns even from a gm perspective. Most novels or tales or stories, even ancient myths. A heroe is someone who does something beyond the normal and others look up to him/her in deeds.
Is not the object of the game to tell a good tale and everyone enjoy it for the entertaining value.
Those arguing about paladibns or good characters should ask themselves how many movies books or games would they read, play or enjoy if the bad guy destroyed everyone ebnd of story. To me it makes a shallow story and plotline. Evil characters kill, maim and ransack town roll credits...what is the point..or in the end as the credits are rolling they fight over loot and start killing each other. Personally if i read a tale about that or watched a movie like that i would walk out with disgust.
Even tales of Illiad, Icelandic Sagas, and various mythic tales had heroes and sure they had faults most of them but thier was some redeeming quality in them.

The way i look at it fly, walk, telport, swim, or magic carpet or steed either way they get to the destination and have to dismount to continue the journey in the adventure.Good luck getting a mount into a dungeon or if you have to search the ground that is heavly forested and over grown with thick vines or thorns or foliage you will have to dismount.

It doesn't concern me how ppl ride port or travel to the site.

If someone worked hard and skilled up to learn how to tame such beasts and use such magic and then trained to ride and control it ..it doesn't bother me.

If it is a flying mount i am sure there is flying obsticles as well, wind storms, other flying creatures that could cause hazard.Not to meantion what does the fortress or town think of some dragon or hippogriff or strange monstrous mount approaching do they arm the balista or catapults and bow shot?

it all comes with whatever someone chooses to use and they have to deal with thier choices in game.
