Welsh Piper has a great random table this week for creating religious orders. Perhaps they’ll figure prominently in your campaign, or perhaps the PCs stumbled across one.
@Brendan : Secret/public
refers to exposure - is the order known to the general populace?
Mainstream/cult refers to https://welshpiper.com/religious-orders/#comment-4541
Good stuff. I imagine secret and cult will most of the time be one to one (same with public and mainstream). What utility do you see in separating these concepts?
@Tom H. : Or a Lawful order trying to *contain* a demon...
In the setting I'm poking at, the big distinguishing question is "Are we trying to *worship* this entity, or *propitiate* it (them)?" I suppose that'd fall out in your system with a Lawful order ...
@October : Great - I'm interested in seeing how well it works for you. Comments and suggestions always welcome.
Cool. I'm looking forward to using this when I delve deeper into Salorica's religions.
