I Played a Secret Villain in a Pathfinder 2e Game - And It Was Amazing!
20Hello Travelers & Tourists!
It's story time! Recently, a major revelation occurred in one of my Pathfinder games! My party was shocked to discover that my character was, in fact, a SECRET VILLAIN! It was a great reveal & led to a lot of fun at the gaming table!
However, the concept of "Secret Villain" PCs can be a controversial topic - and it's easy for the concept to go very, very wrong.
So, in today's video, I share some of the story of how I approached playing a Secret Villain PC - and offer some advice in case you're considering doing the same. In this video, I will talk about working with your GM, considering your motives, playing "with" the other players (not "against"), and ultimately about why you should "plan to fail" as a secret villain.
