less than daily v 3.02: proof if needed that not all roleplayers lead interesting lives [x]

I’ve always had trouble with alignments in d&d .. just what exactly is lawful evil ... how can you be lawful, and evil?

But it recently got explained to me in Star Wars terms, Darth Vader is lawful evil, because he’s a git, but follows/enforces the laws of the Empire. Obi wan is lawful good, Han is chaotic good etc etc

Everything makes sense when you ‘star wars it’!

None of which is relevent to the cartoon .. which kinda speaks for itself, so there’s no point in me going on about it here

I’m surprised no chaotic evil readers have made any comment yet, they make up about 50% of the population and I’m sure quite a few must read your blog.

We all know Neutral Evil is where its at. Oh yeah. Also known as selfish evil.

I’ve always used the star wars analogies to explain it myself and that came from an older roleplayer when i first started. I wonder if this goes right back to the 70’s?

Alignments are a bit poo, i’ve though about running D&D;without them, would require some rules hacks but thats no problem. I’ll ponder.

I’ve always enjoyed Lawful characters, however ‘selfish evil’ is also pretty fun too.
