Stupid Plot Tricks

I still have an old "If I Ever Become the Evil Overlord..." email from 10 years ago. It's fun. Here's a far more complete version: Stupid Plot Tricks. It includes If I Am Ever the Hero and Starfleet Captain sections as well as Tips for the Evil Henchman, Trusted Lieutenants, the Evil Overlord's Wicked but Beautiful Daughter, the Evil Overlord's Accountant, Evil Geniuses, Evil Cult Members and Aliens and Monsters on the Rampage as well as for sidekicks, the Hero's Own True Love, Innocent Bystanders, and many more things including Notes on Fortress Construction.
