It's rarely of great import in my games for obvious reasons, primarily the fact that 35 years later it still confuses many players.<br /><br />I'm beginning to think I need to ignore it for the most part in so far as individual attitudes are concerned. If I were to make it more important, I'd favor the Holmes treatment over both OD&D and AD&D.<br /><br />Another quote from the SR article by Gygax:<br /><br /><i>There is considerable confusion in that most dungeonmasters construe the terms “chaotic” and “evil” to mean the same thing, just as they define “lawful” and “good” to mean the same. This is scarcely surprising considering the wording of the three original volumes of DUNGEONS & DRAGONS. When that was written they meant just about the same thing in my mind</i>.<br /><br />Also, Gary wrote:<br /><br /><i>Alignment does not preclude actions which typify a different alignment</i>.<br /><br /><i>Note that selfseeking is neither lawful nor chaotic, good nor evil, except in relation to other sapient creatures</i>.<br /><br />I've had a post on the subject on the back burner for weeks now, and I'm still not convinced it's worth dissecting.
