Temple of Elemental Evil Journal #3

In the latest installment of RPGVault’s Temple of Elemental Evil journal, Tim Cain discusses the concept of party alignment. The article discusses how party alignment can influence things such as what characters are able to join, how the alignment willl affect quest and dialog options, and multiple plot outcomes. Heres a bit of the article:

Party alignment is a new alignment restriction that we have created at the level of the character party. When you start a new game in ToEE, you must select a party alignment, which is one of the same nine alignments you choose for character alignment. Your selection of party alignment will restrict what alignments of characters you can add to your party. You can only pick character alignments that are at most one step (vertical or horizontal, but not diagonal, on the alignment axes) away from the party alignment.
