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
Where did it all go wrong, Casey? I can’t pinpoint it, but it was already too late when they remade 3:10 to Yuma and took a movie that was mostly two men talking about morality in a hotel room and put in a Gatling gun.
This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
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.
