I wanted to do more content on tabletop games that aren't 40k, so here's a personal story and some thoughts on why games struggle so much with playing the dark side of the good/evil lawful/chaotic alignment axis in traditional tabletop RPG's.

Edit: Forgot to mention the ending song is "Just Like You" by Falling in Reverse. The lyrics seemed very appropriate.
