Great episode! The Arduin Trilogy is another early work that referenced playing monster PCs, perhaps it is worth a look in a future episode. BTW I also really enjoyed your recent guest segment on The Grognard Files.

A big thing that's shifted how I view "evil" monsters has been the idea that most human civilizations have been de facto Lawful Evil, despite their pretenses to the contrary. (This thought-experiment is part of my ongoing critique of the alignment system -- which I think is a pretty fundamentally flawed ethical model -- so I'm admittedly shifting the goalpoasts a bit from where the aforementioned pretenses place them.)

The elevator pitch of my critique: LG is actually LN, and CG is actually CN, because if you embrace a principle that you may choose L or C over G, then... you're not G. And all other alignments -- aside from NG, which values G over all -- drop a notch too. I.e., LN = LE, imho.
