The issue with Nephandi is twofold. First, they are comically evil. They are ontologically irredeemable monsters that want to unmake reality either because they think it deserves oblivion or so that it descends into some metaphysical hell and they become true demons. There can be a place for that , but it gets old fast if not done extremely well. Yeah, you want us fools that believe in goodness to just die. We get it.

The other issue is that to do Nephandi well you have to get darker than most people are comfortable with. Nephandi are *really* bad. They're not like a mobster who will shoot you for money but isn't looking to do it. They're not the Technocracy who actually does nominally want what they think is "best." They're like Chaos in Warhammer 40k, they seek to do the most unimaginably fucked up shit just because it's funny. This gets uncomfortable fast. You see the same thing with the better D&D sourcebooks about Evil with a capital E like The Book of Vile Darkness. Horny White Wolf players aren't a good fit for that.
