The Tabletop Games Thread Turns Evil (10/16/24)

Welcome back to the weekly Tabletop Games thread! This thread is where we can talk about all kinds of RPGs, card games, board games, etc. Whether you gather around a physical table in the real world, or use a virtual space to play with friends who may live far away from you, this is where you can discuss your favorites, ask for and/or receive recommendations, recap your recent adventures, or even find some people to play games with!

Discussion prompt: I recently started a Dark Urge run in Baldur’s Gate 3, so let’s chat about the time-honored tradition of the “Evil Campaign” (or just Evil One-Shot). That is, a time when your group decides to embrace their dark side and play characters who would normally be considered the villain of the story, rather than the intrepid heroes. Have you ever run or played in an Evil Campaign, and if so, what did you think of it? Are there any games or systems that encourage playing the baddies or are better suited to it?

If you would like to suggest a prompt or contribute a write-up or discussion topic of your own, let me know in the comments!
