Been thinking about D&D and sorta how one of the most maligned/ignored thingamabobs is also it's best attempt at whatever D&D seems to be aiming for.
And that my friends is Alignment.
It's often just not that vibrant of a thing in play, although it could be!
What's evil? What's good? Great questions... that D&D(for the most part)ignores, focusing instead on the risk/reward cycle of that sweet sweet money/new, better predictable whatevers (powers).
