There comes a time in every warlock of the Great Old Ones life when they contemplate starting a cult. Where’s my downtime activity for that?

    I hadn't noticed the Arkham Horror Expansion joke in the background before.

    I just sent my DM an email titled "Starting a cult."
    How many watchlists did I just end up on?

    Unsurprisingly, Courtney Campbell has written upon this subject.

    "Acquiring Followers
    Characters can recruit congregants by performing charitable deeds, sending out missionaries, casting spells charitably on peasants, and constructing shrines and temples. For every 1,000 gold pieces spent a month doing these activities, 1d10 followers + 1 per 2 points of charisma you possess join you.
    If a month passess and action is taken to join new followers and you do not spend at least 1 week ministering to your current congregation, then you will lose 1d4p followers.
    Why would you acquire followers? Followers have a bond score (morale) that increases over time. Each follower provides spiritual energy equal to their bond in gold pieces per month for any magical activity you engage in. This lowers the cost of crafting magic items, casting ritual spells, or creating constructs. It can also lower the cost of any construction projects you take on in the interim, because your loyal followers work and donate their time without recompenses."

Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close.

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.

From Voyageurs National Park on FB: Called “Catamaran” by locals, Bert Upton is among the strangest of historical characters on area waters. He lived in a hut built over a dug-out at Squirrel Narrows. Found frozen to death in the 1930s by Kettle Falls pioneer Oliver Knox; Upton was perched lifeless in the snow just a half-mile from his home. Shunning civilization, Upton defined the word hermit. First spotted rowing his crude log raft on Namakan, no one knows how he got there. Upton’s accent implied an English heritage but any personal inquiries brought a stony silence. Some suspected him a man fleeing the law; others saw a bizarre outcast; everyone knew he was peculiar. Just five feet tall and wildly unkempt, Catamaran wore hacked-off pants and walked barefoot with a stick. Winter demanded shoes but no socks, a cast-off Mackinaw, and a trailing cap made from the leg of old underwear. He was oddly religious, and suspicious of being poisoned. Surviving on snared rabbits and fish, he ofte...

Originally shared by Curt Thompson This is an interesting theory, but I notice the author has to omit one of the most important Heinlein novels to make it work. Time Enough For Love was written in the very early 70s and was a straight (heh) extrapolation of the chaotic and frenetic zeitgeist of that era. http://www.locusmag.com/Perspectives/2012/11/the-joke-is-on-us-the-two-careers-of-robert-a-heinlein/
