![The Desk of Many Thoughts Villains, Accomplices, and Bystanders: Portraying antagonists and power systems an interview with Brennan Lee Mulligan. The article begins: Hannah Rose for Wildmage Press: Brennan, you're the Dungeon Master for Dimension 20, Worlds Beyond Number, and multiple Exandria Unlimited miniseries. One thing we see a lot in these stories is that they're about fighting evil and defeating bad guys but also about confronting systems of power and exploitation. So—at the risk of getting a little too real right out of the gate—can you tell us a little about why you're drawn to these stories and where some of that inspiration comes from?
Brennan Lee Mulligan: Hell yeah. I've been telling stories since I was a little, little kid—it’s a primary impulse. When I was a very little kid, I wrote the words “be good” on the wall next to my bed. And so that kind of ethic—knights and heroes and good guys—that's always been there. And then when I was fourteen, I started going to school at SUNY Ulster and I studied with this philosophy professor named Tom Davis and learned about this whole world of formal philosophy and the study of ethics. And every work of art that I've been a part of has tended to, in one form or another, be a meditation on some kind of ethical conundrum—which isn't to say that I'm interested in just creating allegory or propaganda. When I say it's an ethical thing, it's something I’m [personally] wrestling with.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:iwlsl5ag3ik6bbx7je6ci6nt/bafkreihew7ln5uegl3qrbzej2kqzeczxlu7n73p253dclzzydwlues7qs4)
