For questions about campaigns in which all the player characters are evil, and the particular challenges of running such campaigns.

The "evil campaign" is one in which all the PCs are some variety of evil (or at least morally grey enough to abide evil companions), and in which the focus is on doing and spreading evil. Common problems and wisdom around running and playing in such a campaign have developed enough that the "evil campaign" has become almost a genre unto itself.

"Evil campaigns" are usually, though not always, played using game systems where the PCs are normally expected to be a party of good heroes. The evil campaign then exists as a break from or in contrast with the norms and expectations of the heroic fantasy genre.
