I suppose a lot depends on your perception of wolves. I think of them as
neutral - they do what they have to do. I see them vaguely allied with the
Dark Forest - kind of a Druidic thing. Dragon Masters probably don't fit
neatly into "good" or "evil".

Yeah, Forestmen/Dark Forest and Wolfpack I kind of see as just organized gangs
of thieves... but of course the forestmen have the 'Robin Hood' connection,
which is probably why I see them as leaning towards good. As for Wolfpack, I'm
not really sure where I draw the evil connection... I guess it was just a
random opinion type thing... but they're more or less thieves/mercinaries in my
world. They aren't strict good or strict evil...
As for Dragon Masters, I don't know... Majisto is kind of hard to see as evil
(but easier with the Ice Planet Grandpa head instead of the innocent looking
smiley one) The rest of them look more evil, though... they strike me as more
'chaotic evil' rather than 'lawful evil'... Majisto's their only saving grace
to the good side as I see it tho....

Here's my take on things;
Lions (New and Old): good
Forestmen: good (allied with the Lions since they are horrible archers)
Falcons: good
Wolfpack: Neutral (Religious Sect inhabiting the desert regions)
Blue Dragons: Very Bad
Green Dragons: Also Bad (Blues and Greens hate each other)
Dragon Masters: Bad (Allied with Green Dragons)
Fright Knights: As of now they are good
Ninjas: They are off in their own corner of the world fighting each other.
Current Events in my world:
The Blue Dragons have marched on a helpless village in an attempt to broaden
their area of control, but what they don't know is that a division of
Lionhearts with 50 Forestman archers is on its way.
PS In order to liven my battles up, I consider each minifig to equal 10 men.
Each minifig has a +/- rating and then I roll up a battle with a six-sided die
to see who wins.

I don't know about the Fright Knights as good. After all, in their main
castle, the Bat Lord keeps a Lions soldier prisoner... So at least TLG
considers them bad.
> Ninjas: They are off in their own corner of the world fighting each other.
..until their huge battle, when the Ninja wizard unleashes powerful magic that
opens up a space/time warp, dropping the entire scene into medieval Europe.
I'm not sure yet how they will all align when this happens. Will the Ninjas
suddenly unite to take on the strange knights, or will the European armies
recognize the inherent good and evil in the Ninjas/Samurai/Robbers, and divide
up to fight along the side of the appropriate force? Only time (and the number
of each minifig I have) will tell...

50 Forestmen!? I would be happy to take your casualties off of your hands, at
a reasonable price. ;-)
Play well,

In my world I don't use the witchs and since I really like the torso designs
of the other minifigs in that line I made them good guys. A second reason was
that my bad side (Blue and Green Dragons) was outnumbering my good side.

Remember, I count each minifig as ten men so that's only five!! However, I
probably have around 80 Forestmen/Dark Forest. I bought about 20 copies of
6103 about 8 years ago.
