Authorities will pay for his capture, assassination of his apostles, introduction of heresies. Zealots recruiting for anti-Roman insurgency, specific targets available. Romans running COIN.
Lots of good factions here just from a NT reading with varying amounts of gold and social power as well as incompatible goals:
JEWS - Zealots: overthrow Rome, purge collaborators, wary of church and Sanhedrin but needs allies -Moderates: just want the conflict between Rome and Israel over - Sanhedrin: wants to stay in power, anti-church - Collaborators: tax collectors, informants, cultural adopters, trying to make it through, maybe make it out on top
ROMANS - The Man: crush the insurgency, who cares about the church - The Ambitious: make the Man look bad by ensuring Zealot victories on the sly, then take position
CHURCH - Apostles: keep head down, eliminate ethnic/cultural character of church, enforce orthodoxy, finger of death available - The Circumcision: enforce Jewish character of church, challenge apostolic authority, sympathetic or possibly collaborating with zealots - Proto-Gnostics: challenge the other parties, matter is evil man, let me tell you a mystery, supplant apostolic scriptures - Super-apostles: charismatic self-appointed apostles, challenger authority of other groups, bring in off-the-wall doctrine to lavish and comical personal benefit, pre-TV televangelists
Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.
Life is short and unfair. I don’t even know what to say. Hours after the last picture I posted of Alice and the kids we came home from the movie to find her nearly dead in her kennel. She stayed at the vet for 36 hours, and after making some improvement on the first day, started to fade last night. I was with her when they put her to sleep this morning. We buried her collar and her stuffed elephant under our deck where she liked to crawl just out of reach. Alice had four owners in her short life. She survived being hit by a car and moving from Alabama to Minnesota. Then being moved around in foster care before she got to us. I hope she knew she was with for the long haul. She was a good pup. This is the last picture I took of her. We were visiting her yesterday at the vet, anticipating bringing her home today.
Pre-gen from Frank Mentzer's module, The Needle , 1987. I knew this was insulting and gross when I was 14. At the time I didn't know who Frank was, since I only played AD&D. I found this module again when I was going through a box of old stuff and was surprised he wrote it, because I thought it was a pretty shitty adventure.
Catholic Easter or Orthodox Easter?
ReplyDeleteWith or without Masada megadungeon?
ReplyDeleteCatholic and Orthodox are like a week apart this year I think? Gives me wiggle room.
ReplyDeleteWithout, Chris Kutalik, this one would be a dungeon crawl, but under Jesus's tomb.
I hope the bunny carcass can be salvaged for rare materials.
ReplyDeleteRevenge of Zombie Jesus!
ReplyDeleteCan there be an egg hunt across the hexes
ReplyDeleteNo, Vampire Jesus! He gave his blood for you and now he wants it back.

ReplyDeleteYou guys are more blasphemous than I am.
ReplyDeleteCarry on.
