Cormyr and the Dalelands

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, hey there!

I've had an idea rolling around my head for a while, and I'm thinking of rolling up some Villainous Scum™ to play around with on the server. Maybe an orc or something? I'm still not sure yet. The point is, though, that I think it'd be fun to have a group of like-minded-dag-nasty folks that are banded together in some sort of alliance, maybe have them do some questing or some such. Preferably characters that would lean toward a mercenary profession. Best case scenario would be having some sort of guild involved with this, making our own or something.

Anyone possibly interested in this, maybe? If anyone has either an evil-ish character they'd like to have played with others, or are thinking of one. I understand that playing that type of person can make RP a little difficult in the socialisation department (the nature of the alignment and all), so the goal here is to open the RP more toward those that have a want to play a character like that, since playing alone sucks. Feel free to reply if you want to, but I'd also take a PM/Tell/Whatever Private Method you'd wish if you'd want it to be more of an "unknown" thing to other players. For funsies, obviously! Totally no World Domination™ planned, here.

James found the trademark symbol on the internet and can't stop using it™.

hrm...this sounds like something I have started awhile back called Xanathar's guild...but have had....a rough start to it for the most part.... but that is partly due to my time constraints because of my schedule.

I have an assassin PC that would be willing to roll with this. There's another PC of mine that I plan on making (maybe soon, I'm not sure) that would be a good fit for this as well.

I also have PC's that would roll with this too.  Sounds great.

A major risk with this is metagaming. It's killed factions before - someone finds out your PC is in it, and they start sabotaging your events. Just something to think about.

I have, uh, multiple characters of the Villainous Variety.

Getting me to log on is the hard part ;____;

We just need the players to sign a NDA!

I might be willing to do something with this. =)

The most villainous character I have is a True Neutral fella. Even then, he makes it very clear that if the group he's with does something he doesn't want any part of, he'll just leave without warning and never speak of it again, so he's not a very good fit for a group of evil-doers. 

I have an assassin that could be interested depending on the group and if it had any aims or goals.  I also have a mystic theurge, but he's a bit of a psychopath.

I have a character who would be perfect for this. Also one I am rather happy playing more with the right folks and do not mind her getting disposed (just will need to talk to her partner in crime). So I am willing if we have a group ready to go! :-)

Sincerely,
Arya

Got an evil warrior sat in my vault who I haven't played properly in YEARS. Might be willing to give her a shot if I can figure her out some. However, I've got a few other ideas rolling around my head for PCs that may or may not fit this. Being on GMT with limited weekday playtime does, however, hamper me for proper group dynamics.

What i have in mind, at least to start, is less about a big group if evildoers hobnobbing together and more about providing opportunities for those sorts to get their evil on with suitable rewards. I think this will go a long ay towards reducing or avoiding intra-evil conflicts, crossed goals, and pvp concerns.

Once it's been going for a while and we all have a nit of a better idea how things will work out, that may expand some, but we're going to start small.

I have an evil character that would probably join up. This seems like an interesting idea.

Would that be a kinda evil version of the Eyes and Ears?

That's probably how things will start yeah.

I have at least two characters that would want to be a part of this.

I have a character for this as well. Mwahahahaha....

As it turns out, almost everybody has an evil character, hiding somewhere in his vault. So there is definitely a market for evil adventures!

Just dropping in to say that this is totally gonna be a thing. Super happy at the number of responses! Once my RL schedule calms the hell down, I will start getting all of the IC stuff rollin'.

Regardless, this thread has gotten heavily derailed over the past page, and has swerved away from the idea of recruiting for this idea of Aldabirth's and into a debate over this nonsense. Let's get this back on topic and take this argument to a new thread if you wish to continue.

Thread split.  Please use the following to continue discussions about the pros/cons of playing evil:  Playing Evil Characters & Factions thread


This thread should be specifically for/about the new group.

I have someone that is evil, but really doesn't see herself as such.  She would likely have little trouble with mercenary work of dubious nature.

While I have the perfect character to be involved in morally grey mercenary stuff... I don't have the playtime.  

Just letting y'all know that this is looking like it might become A Thing! Now that my college crap is taking a break, I'd like to get this going. Anyone that is still interested should throw a reply on this thread, or send me a PM if it's all Top Secret Document stuff.

I'm definitely rolling up a merc from the city of blades. wI'll be around to stomp kittens with y'all

So there's this drow i'm playing, some of you might know him *cough* he's NE. Since he's on the surface now, he might be interested in joining a like minded gang. Also the old shelter in the slums is officially his, so that could be a hang out place, as soon as we find a solution for the door that can only be picked with a DC 60




The only trouble i see are the evil time zones, since i am in central europe and my occasional busyness. But! We could always do forum rp if all else fails

*tentatively raises hand*

I am interested

Hey, folks!

We are still around and doing this, so tossing a refresher to those who might have missed the first hook. Shoot ole TheGuyThatPlaysAsJames a PM or reply to this thread if interested.

The more RP the merrier. We like typing at one another.

We are active. Feel free to inquire if interested!

New player here, but interested in joining in if this is still going!

We are still in full swing.  

We are still around, and we are still doing things. We have a meeting later this week - so if you are interested in joining on a character and exploring your darker concepts, just shoot me a PM and we'll work on it!

I blame FaeFae  for getting this stuck in my head:

I would Not mind finding out more about this!
