Asking because every time I tried to play a villain game, as in, the players are the villains, it devolved basically into a murder-hobo fiesta. And that might be ok, and is fun sometimes, but just not my cup of tea, especially for a long-haul campaign. Have any of you ever had a good experience with villain campaigns? How did it go?
While it may not be as gritty/dark as some envision an evil campaign to be, Dimension 20 did an evil campaign mirroring LOTR (albeit in a non copy right violating and light hearted spin).
Personally I enjoyed it, and the full campaign is available on youtube https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhOoxQxz2yFOSXAFjzg9GQFoky53tDm9d
It even features Matt Mercer as one of the PCs :)
