However the key goal in this campaign is to create a party that is insufferably anti-good. To that end there are still some guidelines to be aware of for party cohesion, as no matter how much you may be attempting to create satire or actually looking to roleplay evil in a realistic way, nobody likes a campaign where the party constantly in-fights. The guidelines are as follows
