Is necromancy inherently evil in your campaign? Have you had experiences with fellow PCs using necromancy, for good or for evil?

I've never felt right with 'inherently evil'
It should always be 'this is evil because X', not just 'this is evil'
No necromancy isn't inherently evil in my game, it is frowned upon but it's not illegal, undead commonly replace slavery in my campaigns.
I'll be DMing my first campaign on Sunday, anyone have any advice or anything? Should I use a premade campaign, or should I come up with my own? I'd like to eventually work it into a larger campaign once everyone in my group becomes a little more familiar with Pathfinder.
Also, is it possible to play without a mat/grid/whatever? I'm ordering one, but there's no way it's gonna get here by the time I play.
Necromancy to speak with the dead, raise the mindless as servants, and to give a shadow of life are not evil in my campaign; using Necromancy to damage a creature's soul or to create thinking undead is though.
just have fun with it, be prepared for players to do crazy shit.
Playing without a grid isn't hard to do but once combat comes into play just kind of clear some space on the table and use whatever is available paper wise.
It's possible to play without a playmate/grid/whatever, as long as you don't enter any combat. It relies pretty heavily on moving 5ft here and 30ft there and whatnot.
Cheap alternative is drawing a grid on a paper, and using figurines of some sort.
Yeah, I was planning on using paper for combat, or at least trying to.
Does the lack of a visual aid take away from the experience at all? It'll probably be light on the roleplaying to start since none of my players have ever done it before, so I'm a little concerned that things might be boring for them without it.
It's less the visual aid and more mechanical assistance, but it shouldn't hurt too bad.
A bit of paper with a grid drawn on it will probably do fine.
Or if you wanna be fancy, some large-scale grid paper.
"greater good" is rhetoric and thus irrelevant in alignment discussions
