Understanding Alignment for Tabletop Roleplayers

This roleplaying supplement examines alignment as a tool for describing character personality, goals, and beliefs. It presents an alternative interpretation of the traditional good-and-evil, law-and-chaos framework, with guidance for applying it to characters and campaigns. Simple mechanics reward characters who act according to their alignment and penalize them for straying from its principles. The material is intended as one possible approach to a subjective topic, providing structure for discussion and play rather than a definitive answer.
