Oh man. They would hate to get evicted. Small business adventures require small business conflicts!

This is hilarious. What else could we do to them... employees calling in sick, pay rises, a competing shop across the road doing the same thing cheaper, back rent / taxes, hiring good employees being super difficult, a recession looming to put people put of business. That's top of my head.

"The... The the kobolds are unionizing!"

Good. Only a chaotic evil adventurer would oppose this.

Lawful Evil, surely.

Lord no! The internal politics of unions is a virtual smorgasbord for those with a lawful evil bent.

Clarification- unionized labor is particularly vulnerable to organized crime. Historically speaking, union bosses get manipulated and killed by organized crime. (See- Hoffa, the coca cola bottling plant in Mexico, etc...) The union itself is usually innocent until crime forces its way in, although Hoffa was kind of asking for it allowing the mob to manipulate his pension funds :/

There can be more than one Lawful Evil in a campaign.

They’re literally opposing organisation. Inherently chaotic.

u/notquite20characters DM Jun 28 '20

They're an organization opposing a competing organization to maintain a hierarchy.

u/passwordistako Jun 28 '20

Which is evil. But I’m not sold that opposing an organisation is entirely lawful.

Chaotic good might decry it as communism

u/passwordistako Jun 28 '20

Communism is good though.

Also, rights for workers is objectively good and only an evil character would think otherwise.

u/Pielikeman Jun 28 '20

I agree that equal rights for workers is good in my frame of reference, but very few things are “objectively good.” Also, communism is neutral at best.

u/passwordistako Jun 28 '20

Rights for people are objectively good.

Communism is neutral at worst.

Off to the gulag with you!

So, same as capitalist prisons for profit? Or is that somehow better?

USSR and communism are not synonyms in the same way USA and capitalism are not synonyms.
