The old gods have decided to press issues.  Prometheus stole the Divine Fire from the gods, and now the gods want it back.  Electricity stops working.  Fire follows soon after.  Only magic can conjure fire, and that makes wizards popular real fast.  The White Council flips out, snapped fairly neatly down the middle between 'We could be as messiahs to these people!' and 'Let's help them help themselves, shall we?'  Only hope is a long quest into the Nevernever to get the Divine Fire back.

I smell a crossover with the works of S.M.Stirling.  ;D

Hey, I just had a great idea for a 'bad guy' with some moral complexity - how about a Frankestien-type construct, either actively killing people, or just quietly existing, albiet as a MAJOR violation of the no-necromancy law? Or, the necromancer could be the villain, with the construct being a side character?

DDR:
My villains have always been preachers.   Not sure what that says about me.

But I think at least one bad guy will be an ultra-conservative preacher with a son that has some magical ability which the father takes as being possessed by the devil.  I hope at least one of the players takes a Michael like character.  Then I can play pure faith off of nut case faith.  If the players get the son away from the father, then the father would be ripe for making a deal with powers he believes are on the right side.  I’m sure that would lead to some fun interaction somehow.

That needs some more work.  But it is at least a start.

I like the ideas I have seen posted here too.  Lots of seeds for good ideas.

Well this is why we need this game to get out and in print because there are so many potental Antagonists and ways to introduce them that it is part of what will make this game great.

Blaze:
The best villains are the ones that sneak up on the good guys.  The ones who seem harmless, or even worse, seem cute and attractive.  We like them, we could never suspect them.  They are beneath the radar.
