This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Good guys or bad guys?

Quote from: Ian Warner;416057That's the thing. I'm autistic. I have a hard enough time with empathy in real life.

Sociopathic bastards really suit me because I am one.

Thats not really the excuse that you think it is.
Most autistic folks I've met have a MORE pronounced sense of morality than the mainstream.

Quote from: danbuter;414504When you game, do you prefer to be the good guy, all heroic and protecting the people; or the evil bastard, killing the helpless and getting rich off their loot?

For me, the hero's tale holds more appeal. Too many times I've been part of a "bad guys" game where and when it just meant watching the group act like juvenile psychopaths.
"People ask the question... what\'s a RocknRolla? And I tell \'em - it\'s not about drums, drugs, and hospital drips, oh no. There\'s more there than that, my friend. We all like a bit of the good life - some the money, some the drugs, others the sex game, the glamour, or the fame. But a RocknRolla, oh, he\'s different. Why? Because a real RocknRolla wants the fucking lot" -Archy (RocknRolla)

Yeah, being Evil is more fun when you aren't just being a one dimensional thug. When I play evil, I try to play it like Charlton Heston doing Cardinal Richilieu from The Three Musketeers and The Four Musketeers.
