Alignment Explained via Superheroes
August 20th, 2008
These motivational posters are surprisingly apt. I like the conceit here: the superheroes (and villains) are, for the most part, pretty well-known figures, which makes this an easy encapsulation of the D&D alignment system. The one prior to fourth-edition, at any rate.
My favorite part is the quote chosen for each one. He’s a superhero; he’s a political philosopher. They Fight Crime.
It’s kind of an old post, but I just stumbled upon a link to it.
