I was thinking it might be fun to play with my GF (she used to RP a ton as well, and is in the same current RP drought as me), and potentially with my nephew and niece (the way I sort of used HeroQuest as a pseudo-RPG with them) because I don't really see them often enough to run any sort of real RP campaign, especially with so few people. But I'd like to feel out other people's opinions on how good the game is (specifically, thinks like story pathing and balance, which have always been gamebook issues), and also more esoteric stuff like whether or not it's possible to play a more "evil" character or if it's just default assumed you're Heroic McNiceguy the Third with only the purest of adventurer motives.

I want to take a second to acknowledge how much I love the phrasing, since when most people talk about wanting to roleplay with their gf, this isn't what they have in mind =p

If you were designing a character for a game who was basically a sort of judge who is empowered to travel the land dispensing justice and legal pronouncements that are completely binding, what would you call that person?

Arbitrator has a cool ring to it and lacks the messy common-use nature of terms like judge or magistrate where people associate them with existent roles within a society.
