So what's the goal of the BBEG in your campaign Veeky Forums ?

He's a scattered suit of sentient armour and he wants to be collected to possess the guy who puts him on.

He leads a genocidal crusade to exterminate all the races he deems irredeemably evil (none of them are). Strongly based on certain Veeky Forums posters.

She's a dimension-hopping Dragonborn who has been stuck on this plane for quite some time. In order to get back to her own timeline, she made a deal with the demon lords to lead their armies and destroy every civilization on the plane.

Only problem I have is that the players are supposed to learn that it's just one person leading the army, and I don't know how to do that.

Kill his family/species.
Enslave everyone.
Rule the entire universe.

You already know who it is.

To trigger as much war and conflict as possible to strengthen everyone for the arrival of the much worse BBEG

Change the world for the better whether they want it or not and have his estranged son see his point of view and stand at his side while doing it.

To cock block the fighter

I have multiple BBEGs, with conflicting goals. Makes for interesting scenarios when they all turn up together.

Apotheosis by drinking the blood from the corpse of a god.

Using an old cure for undeath to convert all the world's leaders into clones of himself, followed by their militaries. Maybe the citizens too once he controls the world's armies, but that's not necessary unless he expects heavy rebellion.

So he works on his PR?

You don't know what a BBEG is.

I'm DMing two games, one in a homebrew and the other is FR.

The homebrew's campaign BBEG was supposed to be a Wizard, specialising in Divination, who ran an artifact smuggling ring and was looking to plunder several newly discovered islands for legendary artifacts that would make him unstoppable. The players killed him in a really stupid way, so now it is an Ancient Red Dracolich cause fuck them.

The Forgotten Realms is a Yuan-ti Pureblood who is slowly working his way up to godhood. He has managed to become a Malison, and nearly got to Abomination before the players intervened. He got away, and now seeks to get revenge by destroying their hometown.

>Big Bad Evil Guy
>hurr that means only one is allowed durr

You know what each individual letter stands for. You still don't know what it actually is.

Paper trail? Messages and written orders all written by the same person in the same handwriting and the same writing style. Even if something's written by a middleman, they'll always be referring that this and that order are coming straight from BBEG as usual.

He's in a low magic setting and wants to be immortal. Those in his way be damned.

Mine is a void Oni. His goal is to make himself whole via creating untold war strife and mayhem, allowing him to feed off the hatred and suffering of the world, powering his restoration. Once whole, he plans to subjugate the material plane, corrupt the populace into lesser oni, then move on to the next plane and start over.

To bring peace to the world and its factions, before opening a portal to his dead home dimension and brining in resources and manpower to try and breath life into the dead husk of his home.
He's basically a genetically engineered and cybornetically augmented human super soldier who got sucked into a magical realm in another dimension.

He's not even really that evil, it's just his actions have really ruined the lives of some people beyond repair.

To pull the PC's world and his Goddess' together

To throw a tantrum like a toddler whenever someone uses the term "BBEG" and make a huge ass out of himself in public.

Manchild the Destroyer.

Defiler of foodstands, destroyer of fun, master of schreeching.

Why do you keep samefagging and pretending like BBEG isn't a time-honoured Veeky Forums classic?

Because being a retard on the internet is a time honered tradition.

honored*

Yes, I did fuck up a bit there with the spelling.

It's only honored by faggots. Don't pretend you can inflict your personal culture on the rest of us through pure repition.

You use it, and that's you. Don't act like you can command people to stop thinking you sound like a toddler when you say things like "big bad evil guy".

Breeding supersoldiers under the mountains by splicing orcs together. It's not the most original but he's a nazi elf so it feels pretty appropriate.

The irony you spew is to rich

He wants to kill himself before he is created. To this end he takes the 'long route' to time travel forward till it becomes a new universe. This is his... We are getting somewhere where I need scientific notation, time around.

His previous from each iteration have become a sort of... Cloud of entangled nanobots that consume shit and travel and stupid mundane speeds through space. As a basic function, they can survive the big crunch/bang in relatively small and vaugly useless numbers, untill a pair hit some matter and it begins anew.

The most recent iteration is also a pc, as a human before he gains the power known as BEAST. I'm waiting for halrity to insue.

Your double irony is even worse. Especially the insistence that anyone who thinks "big bad evil guy" sounds dumb must all be a single person.

It's like you are genuinely unaware it intentionally sounds stupid.

As far as I can guess since we're only three sessions in, infect the wilderness with zombie creatures that just kill until the local settlements run out of not-zombie to hunt and eat.

Going vegan you say? I mean sure, but that doesn't mean that zombies aren't coming out of the woods since there's nothing left to kill.

>I'll just say he's double ironic and still spew more irony

To unmake, and rebuild creation. With less suck. Probably less females too.

Their family died in a fire, the church/main religion of the land said they would help but instead desecrated the bodies so they could never come back to life and he has now sworn vengeance on the church, and since it is a very religious nation, on the nation itself as well.

The Elven leader of my campaign is planning on using the minor races (Gnomes, Halflings, Tieflings, ect.) to augment their own technological might to be on par with Humans and Dwarfs, and use that to launch another war with the Human/Dwarf coalition, with the intention of taking over the continent.

As well,they want to take/destroy the Crystals of the other Kingoms (High Elves, Dark Elves, Humans, Dwarfs and Orcs each have one), so that the only civilization that can use it's powers (in my campaign you need to be in contact with the Kingdom Crystal or one of it's smaller shards to level up), keeping other civilizations at Level 1 forever while the High Elves can become stronger.

So some fag with a god complex?

We encountered multiple of them. One was a sociopathic rapist. My player killed one with a fell swoop of the head, while his slaves were punching and casterating his dead body. We also fought a cult.

The BBEG was actually the future son of one of the PCs who wanted to kill his parent in every other dimension he can besides his own.

Calling people out for using a dumb meme is just one thing. Trying to say that calling people out on using a dumb meme is just a dymb meme puts you deep in hypocrisy territory, especially when you defending your BBEG meme requires you to demand people to respect it based entirely on you demanding it be respected.

That put's you in a rough spot, because either you need to just accept that it's a dumb thing some people say, or you open up the opportunity for "BBEG is only used by faggots" to be a new meme that people can just force people to respect in a similar method to what you are hoping to do.

I suggest you take it on stride, and not defend BBEG every single time someone calls it dumb. You're very likely to tire yourself out long, long before it ever stops sounding dumb, because it was made to sound dumb.

You missing the irony and still going on is too much.

They've been working at it for a long time, but it wasn't always this way. In their younger days they had greater ideals, that power could change the world and though the powerful did nothing, if he had power he could make things better.

But life wears you down, the inevitable lose/lose sadistic choices forcing you to make concessions, little by little, inch by inch, that one day you've realized you've changed for the worse and you're too far gone to stop it, worse, you don't believe you should.

So here he is, going through the motions, forcing down those who keep forcing his hand, gathering more and more resources, more and more power. Does he know what he's going to do with it? Make a change, probably.

Right now it's the Cult of Tharizdun, so to blow shit up basically

What irony? That you get super offended when anyone makes fun of you for using a toddler phrase?

He sees the world as a disjointed place of chaos, violence and death where there could be peace, unity and prosperity. He doesn't understand why a man might rather suffer for his liberty than live in luxurious servitude, and frankly doesn't see the point in trying to sway what he sees as clearly insane people who resist him.

The thing is he's nowhere near as bad as the people he employs to serve his ends, and his refusal to accept that some people might prefer chaos to prosperity through what is effectively mind control, death squads and destroying the very idea of individual liberty has caused complications that prevent peaceful resolution.

Give an apple of the tree of life to the sick girl he fall in love with, Also redeeme the demon-god sealed in his body.

To be the BIGGEST, BADDEST, EVILEST GUY.

To return Rome back to the time of pagan gods, also to fuck the femPope

He gave the gift of freedom to the mortal races. Fifty thousand years down the line, he returns from his banishment and is disgusted at what he observes. He slew his siblings because they couldn't match his standards, and now his mortal children have failed him as well.

He's going to reach the throne of god and try again. One day, he'll get it right.

He is a mighty Overlord that wants vengeance on the kingdoms and the god they worship for killing his parents for following a more benevolent deity, assassinating his mentor and his wife (who was the daughter of said mentor), and nearly doing so to his children.

And he has the brains, brawn, resources and guts to actually achieve it.

I don't know if I'd base my campaign on a meme interpretation of a platformer

youtube.com/watch?v=brs6-uQMfGU

To make people stop using BBEG because he's an autistic sperg who wants to be called a Villain instead. May or may not tip his fedora with the end of his katana, will depend on if he's aware of any women around at the time.

That's interesting.

get the few remaining poppy flowers from a giant temple sacred to virtually every paladin to make opium.

and also replant them over his lands.

I choose to support this villain, transforming him into the hero we deserve.

To bring equilibrium to all creation by removing emotions, leaving every living being as grey, lifeless husks

Defy her Creator, and destroy everithing she deems an unworthy creation of his

To fuck bitches.

No literally he's going around taking over kingdoms to fuck the Queen or Princess because the woman he is actually in love with, who is a goddess doesn't want him.

To bring her father back to life.

Too bad her fathers been overtaken by an elder god trying to get into our reality to bring his blessings

Frieza?

To re-establish contact with his distant demiurge god.

To eat the humans of the sector by sowing chaos and destruction everywhere . Pretty straight forward.

He's asleep ATM. He wants to see his son again one day.

The BBEG in mine is a nosferatu-esque vampire wizard wants to absorb the power of a half-summoned demon lord in order to ascend to a nascent demon-lord status himself, becoming more of a badass. He figures that as a quasi-divine undead god-king he can re-focus civilization into a magic-heavy necromancy state that can present unified challenge to the subterranean aliens that emerge to consume civilization every 10,000 years or so, while also just having the fun that comes from being a new demigod of necromancy.

Except I'm not the one here who thinks there can only be one BBEG, so clearly you don't know what it is.

Currently posing undercover at the academy our first heroes created with all their fight money as a teacher planning to kill the still living orignal heroes for defeating her and destroying a empire she was a general in.

>still using "faggot" as an insult
>In the year of our Lord, the Twenty-First Century and Seventeen

You've got to be over 18 years of age to post here, son.

The Big Bad of grimwyrd was probably gonna be a big bad dark lord of evil, but then the party used a giant magic nuclear weapon on their own lands, and so theyve done worse to the land than he would have :/

Achieve eternal life, and ensure the revival of his ailing nation. It was petty and he regrets it now, but the pebble started an avalanche.

>don't think you can inflict your culture on us by sheer repetition
>inflicts anti-BBEG culture by sheer repetition in any thread with BBEG in the OP
Are you retarded, hypocritical, Autistic, or some horrific amalgamation of the three?

>Stop doing things I don't like on MY BOARD
>I'll make sure to spam absolutely every thread I don't like with angry posts

Oh look Fido ! a hater !

I believe he is trying to steal my taco.

Once again, you prove to not know what a BBEG is.

My BBEG is an extraplanar court of eldritch entities that drifts throughout the multiverse absorbing planes into itself. So it's currently trying to terraform the plane into something similar to itself before absorbing it.

That's not what a BBEG is.

>The players killed him in a really stupid way, so now it is an Ancient Red Dracolich cause fuck them.

Go on.

Currently there isn't one. The most recent one though, she had constructed this mechanism which drew vast magic quantities to power it. She made it to reach back in time and snag her husband before he died to bring him to the present, but time travel/alteration is a severe violation of universal laws so a lot of people, gods even were unhappy with this since it might ave unraveled reality. Despite our best efforts she managed her plan but fortunately for everyone it backfired because she brought her husband to the present for all her hopes and dreams to come true, but he didn't recognize her since she'd become quite different from the woman he knew in her BBEG pursuits. Seeing her as a monster basically he wanted nothing to do with her, and it destroyed her and she just gave up on living at that point, ending her threat as BBEG.

Devour the souls of 90% of the planet's population, wipe out all traces of civilization, then go to a different planet and do the same thing. Every few thousand years, it comes back to do the same when the population has gotten back to normal numbers again, effectively treating the star system like a giant farm.

Ascending to godhood.

the joke here is he's not really the BBEG and we don't have one of those in campaign. Instead we're focusing on surviving encounters with his armies and navigating the intrigues that come from his unstoppable conquest of the world.

To hijack the forced evolution plot the kind of benevolent if a little Darwinian envoys of the Precursor race came peddling, so that every human being is uplifted and spared the coming apocalypse instead of only a small subsection of genetically gifted children as the precursors intend.

He does this by killing one of the envoys, tearing the other in half and using its still living heart for fuel, accidentally letting loose alien kaiju everywhere and mindwiping his son into forgetting his identity and obsessing over a psychic girl because part of the fucked up plan involves some weird fuckery about humanity being born again and "the new Adam & Eve".

Merchandising and world domination.

(It's Disney.)

Lavos?

The Senate?

Revenge against the mortal races which have slain most of his draconic kin, and the gods which gave them form and protect them.

Not starve to death and not get brutally murdered by the amoral enforcers of the Machine's will. She happens to subsist entirely on human souls.

Alternatively, ensure that the Machine remains functioning and supplied with fuel, because if the Machine fails, reality does as well.
The Machine runs on human souls.

To bring her dead human boyfriend back to life. Unfortunately, the more time passes since his death, the more people have to die in order to make that happen.

On the bright side, at least there are no more dwarves.
