Wanna be a Big Bad?

In the Big Book of Big Bads, we introduced the Big Bad Bureau - an organization that strives to keep the Big Bads in check.

But the Big Bads are card-carrying members of G.E.I.S.T. (Great Evil Inciting Supervillainous Threats)... and they're taking applications.

Do you think you’ve got what it takes to join their sinister ranks?

If you want to show the Big Bad Bureau who the real boss is, now's your chance.

Meet the Big Bads

Sinister Six ain't got nothing on your villain squad

Your ultimate team up is before you. Harness the cunning wiles of the vengeful familiar Baudelaire, the time-bending talents of haunted grandfather clock Zifferblatt, and the fiendish gambler Ontranto. For brawn, bring in the strength of the terrifying Conqueror Worm, the flame-fueled dominance of the fire elemental Lord Charrox, and Gutraxr, the nasty necrotroll. Individually they’re awful - together, they’re unstoppable.

Try and stop them, or join G.E.I.S.T. and help them spread chaos! The choice is yours!

Powerful Magic Items Await

Gear up to be bad! Fight your way out of trouble with Grandmother Mercy’s Candy Cane Duelist Blade, Teodora Eliss’ Dagger of Denouncement or Lord Charrox’s legendary war pick Lucinda. Disassemble your enemies with the legendary cane known as the Means of Production, or make your own mimics with Phaign’s Mirror.

The villain’s always have the best gadgets, don’t they?
