I blame video games.
People who decide to murder hobo won't last long in my games. I specifically don't allow evil characters unless we agree upfront we are running all evil this campaign. And man, you won't like that kind of game at my table most likely.

Murder Hobo against clear enemies? Usually just fine, especially if they attacked you first.

Going into a clear non-hostile environment and killing everything (maybe an orc village that is trying to be farmers instead of raiders)? Probably a really bad choice.

Go into a civilized town and kill people withou good reason? You're gonna pay for that. If a LG Paladin is there I will call into question their LG stance right then and there. I don't require strong RP, but I do require adherence somewhat to your alignment.

Do it again? Your alignment has shifted. If the Paladin doesn't strike you down...his alignment has shifted.

Again?? You are going to be wanted....posters in all towns/cities describing you...I'll see to it. You might make it to a church fast enough for some piety. Or you might run into a priest who casts geas on you (or the whole party).

Its one thing that the Baldur's Gate video game series actually did well....you can kill everything....but probably don't want to....

I guess it is something you just have to get out of your system, sometimes. I remeber a campaign back in high school, where the party itself fractured and we ended up going PVP. That campaign ended pretty rapidly, as did the group that played it.
Disclamer: I prefer black bases, and as such have painted many clear bases black. Pictures of my collection will reflect this, varying from the original way the mini was produced.

I just picked up the new starter set. I am about to start working on it, one of the easier ones to do.

I just have a minor devil take interest in their character.
Doesn't take long for the devil to trick them and gimp their build.
Playing a weak character is good punishment for poor behavior, and a good warning for the rest of the party.

I know it isn’t Icons of the Realms, but the Pathfinder Purple Fungus is almost a dead ringer for it.

It's out of stock at the moment, but Reaper also has a "Killer Fungus" in translucent purple plastic: https://www.reapermini.com/search/fungi/latest/44043

Here's Curse of Strahd!

There's a lot of red in this one, as I'm still trying to figure out what I want to use for specific characters/encounters, but the basics are covered:

Bumping this because I think pinning this is a good idea (and might encourage contribution).

I might do this later, but at the very least, here are the stat blocks included with the adventure.

And if you do want to - that's what Biff the Understudy is for, to jump in and play the roles of crucial NPCs whom you thoughtlessly killed. :)

Late reply, but could not resist...
