Re: [DL] Playing the Bad Guys...

True true.  We are doing "screening" of players for those kind of
characters, to avoid someone loading up on Bolt of Doom and going nuts in
the saloon...  as well, we are making it clear that much of the conflict
that would be generated by confronting NPCs in a tabletop game is now
possibly amongst groups of players.  Combat rules are designed to put people
out of a fight (Vigor checks) before they die, but allow for character
death.

And I'll include an cheatsheet of evil deeds in the written backgrounds...
