Alignment Choices in D&D 5e

In this episode of RPG Blokes, hosts Mark, Jon, Stephen, and Barry tackle one of Dungeons & Dragons’ most iconic (and often misunderstood) mechanics: the alignment system. From lawful good to chaotic evil, the team breaks down each of the nine alignments, sharing how they influence gameplay, storytelling, and party dynamics.

The conversation highlights common pitfalls and player experiences—like the rigidity of lawful good in morally grey scenarios, the unpredictability of chaotic neutral characters, and the challenge of making true neutral feel meaningful. The hosts reflect on their own alignment mishaps and preferences, injecting humour and personal anecdotes along the way.

They also explore how alignments can evolve throughout a campaign, acting as tools for character growth rather than rigid labels. The discussion touches on the history of alignments in D&D, how they’ve changed across editions, and why modern players often interpret them more flexibly.

Whether you’re a stickler for rules or a free-spirited wildcard, this episode offers practical insight and plenty of laughs to help you rethink your next character’s moral compass.
