RE: (TFT) Rant: part VI

DMGII (and other evilponderers)-all this stuff on evil resonates nicely with
a cool book I just read - Under the Skin, by Michel Faber. I can't give
anything away but strongly recommend it, especially if'n yer interested in
the 'evil' thread and interesting ways of interpreting it.
My mum picked it up at a remiandered place here in Oz so I suspect it will
have been remiandered in the States too.

   Astute, that is one of the defining characteristics of TFT over other
systems.  So the new evil is to be some principle or beleif obviously.  TFT
states that Dragons are only interested in their status amoung other
Dragons.  That Dwarves love gold almost as much as dragons.  There are also
the behaviour of ghouls that you mentioned.  But what is the new evil to be?
   There are the classic themes; like kidnap and slavery, or revenge and
murder.  There are also the classic motives like lust and power, greed and
selfishness.  But I am looking for something more like an Archvillan.  A
Tolenkar or Vader.  Most important is the new evil have a personal name.
For instance here are a few that I have built campaigns around...

    Glemantrious: developed demon spawning pits, sold his knowledge to the
darkest hearts.

    Dematrious: An arms dealer who would start wars so he could supply both
sides.

    Gigamax: Cheif enchanter to the Brigand king, made flying towers so they
could terrorize entire cities.  Carefully arranged raids so all of his
needed components and apprentices could be stolen.

    My call here is asking for a discussion of our campaigns villans.  So we
might generate a new one to over arch them all.  And the name.  The name is
most important.
