Episode 21 - Who's Your Baddie?
It's easy to make a BBEG, but not so easy to make them memorable or especially hateable. In this episode we discuss possible ways to make bad guys interesting, compelling, or downright horrible. Whether through sheer power, mighty magic, or the power of social engineering and manipulation, there are many ways to impose the will and presence of the most dastardly characters in your world such that the PCs will never equate their biggest rivals with simple undead or bandit lords. Instead, you may create monstrous people who dwell even within the nightmares of the players themselves.
