Ep5: Do We Really Need Alignment?

When players create new characters the fill out stats, they add points to skills, they choose weapons and all of these things have specific times where they are called upon again through the course of game play.  But with alignment, you fill it out and there isn't typically a specific check for it.  With this in mind, do we really need alignment in modern role playing games?  This week John and Felicia talk about the pros and cons of alignment and what some potential alternatives to the current alignment system in D&D and Pathfinder.  Also this week, mail call!  We field a question from a listener that was raised from listening to a previous episode of the show. Whether you're lawful good or chaotic evil, there's sure to be something to pick up from this episode of becomingDM!
