It's all right if you don't have any ideas! It's good to take a break from plotting every so often. After all, evil can't prosper if we're all burned out!
Thx. I just remembered, never brought it up cause not really related to running a campaign, but it's better than nothing.
I once had a character who was obsessed with the idea of basically becoming the New Ruler/God of the continent first, then he would move on to the world. Didn't really work out cause the only place I could play him when I made him was the Adventurer's Tavern, and 'evil' characters like that never really prospered much, so he eventually faded into my subconcious, only to randomly surface every now an then. He had a small group of loyal followers to himself as well.

I have a suggestion, my Spider Queen. I hope you shall listen, even though I am a mere Whip Spider. The G R A N D A L L I A N C E O F C U L T S is a faction of factions, the Lord's Alliance of the forgotten realm that is the DDB Forum. This cult, though small, is quite prominent. Even the mighty ones of, say, the Supreme Court of Sauce, may tremble at our name. Perhaps we should send in an application to join, casting our web further still. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

this is a guild, not a cult. any ways I still don't know how to do what's in the video I linked but whatever.
I will be asking randomly for perception checks, players ac, passive perception, etc. when I eventually dm

It's a cult.
I memorize their stats, then confirm them in the middle of the game and look concerned after I hear it("Hey, [Player], you have an AC of 16, right?" "Yeah.").

That's good!
My evilest plan yet was my super undead monster, it was a Boneless, wrapped around a Zombie, with a skeleton hiding inside, which had a Flameskull for a head, which had a Brain in a Jar inside it.
My evilest plans I'm thinking about implementing are (players of mine, don't look please. One of them is kind of a puzzle)
My randomized dungeon (consists of tons of different entrances, all of which teleport you to a randomly determined other dungeon. You have to figure out how to disable it before you can actually enter), my floor-changing room (a large, empty room with a floor made of tiles. When you step on one, all the tiles rise upwards off the ground. You have to find the right tiles to even move more than five feet through the room), my gravity-shifting dungeon (it is rather ordinary for a dungeon, but is built in really weird ways. Gravity works really weird in it, shifting nearly every room and sometimes more) and my Gelatinous Cube launcher (a long hallway, with one exit. A room filled with Gelatinous Cubes sits next to it. The Gelatinous Cubes slide into a launcher device when they sense movement in the hallway, which launches them down it with effects like that of Engulf. The door at the end of the hallway is locked, but swings open when the launcher launches something so that the Gelatinous Cube lands in an empty room to dissolve stuff in piece).

so i've done a very evil thing. i let the coffeelock join the bad guys bc it worked so well with his motivations. i have taken over the character somewhat, but none of the other players know he's actually evil. he's not currently with the party, but the plan is that during the final dungeon crawl he will rejoin them and seem to be on their side. however, the bbeg of this campaign was supposed to be this mad wizard who was ascending to immortality. the coffeelock was convinced to join the baddies bc his girlfriend (in game and irl, another player) had been murdered (by /yet another/ party member) and he killed the murderer, leading to him being expelled from the school. the villains convinced him that the only way to bring her back, as she didn't wish to be revived/resurrected and only deities can really bring back someone who doesn't want to be brought back, and that plane's gods would've refused to upset the balance of life, was to join with them and help their leader in his quest to ascend. HOWEVER. the plan is that when the party enters the room with the bbeg, having already been separated from coffeelock somehow, he begins to monologue but a couple of lines in...
an arm wraps around him and a knife is drawn across his throat. he slumps to the ground in a puddle of his own blood, the words of his evil speech dying along with him. and then we begin the coffeelock's monologue. a dramatic and heartrending tale, but also incredibly disturbing, it's obvious he's not really himself anymore. and then they realize something. the reason he was talking for so long. as they listened to his speech, the ritual finished and he basically became a deity; if not immortal, as close as you can get. and then the fight with the REAL bbeg begins. *woOoOo dRaMa and aNgSt*
Edit: i have realized none of this makes sense, but i don't know how to rewrite it better, so this is what you get. sorry.
