(TFT) Law, Chaos, Devils etc.

["Cas Liber" <casliber@ozemail.com.au>]

The whole Moorcock thing where "Law" was Good and "Chaos" was evil always
bugged me a little, this concept which then entered orginal D&D. I liked it
better when they got the alignment wheel, with Lawful (but evil) devils on
it and the political hierarchy of the Nine Hells yada yada yada.
Although having said the above the Chaos of Azathoth and the imagery that
moorcock wrote in Knight of the Swords I thought was pretty memorable and
Chaotic.
I like the AD&D idea of the crux of Chaos and Evil resulting in demons.
There's no reason for chaos on its own to be malevolent - just ask any
hippy elf or Olympian deity.
I always interpreted alignment fairly loosely anyway, if one played it too
restrictive it ceased being fun, but by the same token i wasn't
particularly keen on DMing evil parties but they often self destructed
anyway.

(oops I digress, wrong game system)

PS: Christopher Lee is playing Saruman in the movie(cool!)

Anyway, if we make cherubim and assume they're lawful then I presume they'd
have some caste system - let's create one with pastel colours, hence the
types: Peuce, Lavender, Mauve, Powder Blue and Mint  - how does that sound?
