Ok, time to resume this thread about #BROSR / #BROvenloft

When the #BROvenloft concept was initially announced, I was intrigued.

initially, I was thinking about doing a Brovenloft patron based on Lord Summerisle from Wicker Man.
But after reading this tweet about "a clandestine resistance faction led by paladins and clerics"

I thought that seemed like a bigger challenge, and potentially a lot more fun.
Also, I had been feeling dissatisfied for a while about the issue of religion in D&D. Specifically, I felt like it was kind of dumb (especially in pseudo-medieval or pseudo-roman campaign settings) that the religion for lawful good PCs is basically "reskinned european paganism"

It's come to my attention that some of you meatheads lack a critical appreciation for the beauty of the Chainmail game that spawned not just D&D, but also all of modern gaming. Well I am here to help. Also to insult you a little. Because this stuff really should be obvious. ImageImage
If you grew up playing any TSR edition of the D&D game, you have ALREADY BEEN PLAYING THIS GAME YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. Exposure to Chainmail should therefore be like meeting with an old friend and having a revelation he's had a rich double life no one ever told you about. Image
When you first learned D&D, you had to settle for fragments of a real game taken out of context which had little to no elaboration. But Chainmail has the missing rules that cause everything to snap into focus. It is the full cadence that answers the half cadence of D&D. Image

It’s occult creation of alternate dimension(s) which our rulers will control. With our screens we already live in it most of the time but meta will bring us there full time. Elfland but gh3y.
The spider egg dream in Bladerunner is about this. We are replicants insomuch as our rulers program our dreams, memory, and aspirations with popular culture and fake news. Image
It’s matrix obviously ofc, though it’s such a tired metaphor I loathe to use it. The robots using human body heat etc to make batteries was metaphor for the post covid lovkdown world. No one interacting yet somehow the Metaverse economy (and social) continuing on as golem Image

Every Blood Moon these scum and vagabonds of the city of Cyfaraun gather for such bloodletting. Tonight’s main event was especially anticipated. Odds were 3 to 1 in favor of RPGPundit and the bookies struggle to keep up with bets. 3/
