    Okay, this campaign is gonna be a dark and sinister urban adventure, so law enforcement is corrupt and doing evil things.

    Okay, this is a swashbuckling tale, a la Robin Hood against the Sheriff of Nottingham, so law enforcement is corrupt and doing evil things.

    Okay, this is basically a noir detective style adventure, so law enforcement is corrupt and doing evil things.

    Okay, I noticed I keep making law enforcement evil, so I’m gonna do a one shot set in hell. There’s no civilisation or human NPCs, so law enforcement isn’t even here. The year is 1312…

      i imagine in law enforcement hell they have to sit all day watching people jaywalk and don’t get to do anything about it.

        In law enforcement hell, they have to testify against someone they falsely arrested to a fair and reasonable judge, and every lie they try to tell manifests as physical black sludge that sears their throat as they speak.

        …Fuck, I’m gonna have to come up with a new one shot now.

          There’s a really funny youtube series my son made we watch where a guy is running one campaign that is some PCs hack and slashing their way through a goblin kingdom, trying to get to the goblin king, then another campaign where the PCs are playing in a modern urban city as cops and paramedics on the trail of some psycho serial killer arsonist looter murder hobos.
