Anyone have any advice on creating/playing a villain? I wanna play a villain, but it seems like you kinda need stuff (e.g. magic, minions, and a pipe organ) to play a good one.

i recommend you look into why your persona became a villain. a simple "wants to kill everyone and dominate the world!" won't make for a good storyline, but rather look into why they believe that they are in the right, and what caused their perception to warp in such a way that they are now considered the villains of a certain story you are creating. whether they have been indoctrinated into a cult from a young age, or severely hurt by a certain community to the point of snapping, etc.

not at all
my advice is that, if you wanna play a villain that will actually impact people's character and leave a lasting impression, take the time to really ground your character the world, consider why they act the way they are, and really get a feel for how they influence those around them. imo, some of the best villains are villains with motivation and justification, rather than "evil for the sake of evil," because having a story to work with is what builds narratives and storylines. the more substance you allow a villain to have, the more engaging your interactions will be and the more avenues of RP you'll have - Show next comments 9 more
