The Exchange

We all know that deep down you have an evil streak - you know what works as a villain. Well now is your chance. What do you consider an essential rule for success as a BBEG?

1. Work through many others who don't know you from Adam.

The Exchange

2. Never send one man to do any mission. Send at least 7 compitent people to get the job done. Those who do not succeed will be terminated.


3. Success is subjective


4. Never tell anyone the entirety of your plan. Even to gloat.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

5. Read the Evil Overlord List. Obey it. (The Cellblock Appendices too, it can't hurt.)

Silver Crusade

I think the biggest is:

6. When someone tries to thwart your plans, kill them immediately. Do not waste time gloating or concocting some elaborate method of killing them. Put a bullet in their head at the first opportunity.


Evil overlords are psychologically deeply scarred people. They are too smart and have suffered for it. They seek their position of power to compensate for a lack of self esteem. It is sodding insane to want to rule the world, for example. Now... don't expect such a guy to behave rationally when his power is challenged.


I don't want to rule ze world. I juzt want to have a vacazion and not have to worry about ze weather being too warm for my taztes. I don't zee what ze big deal iz, but apparently ze people have a problem wit zis! What iz wrong with a bit more cold?!
