DarkSpace Transmission 0.01.02 Design - Motivation

I first encountered the idea of alignment when I began playing tabletop role-playing games in the early 1980s. My introduction came through Tom Moldvay's Basic Dungeons & Dragons booklet. At the time, I found alignment to be a fun and fascinating way to look at the world. In that Basic set, just like in the Shadowdark RPG, there were only three alignments: Law, Chaos, and Neutrality.
