Joey and Arthur discuss the finer points of a few cults found throughout the Starfinder universe and the pros and cons, trying to decide which one they would want to join to make new friends
Here's an easy way to figure out if you're in a cult.
If you're wondering whether you're in a cult, the answer is yes.
All right.
Are we
talking about cults? We're talking about some various cults of the galaxy today.
All right.
Well, there's lots of little random ones out there, so this will definitely be a series we can continue to do in the future.
But we're going to talk about four distinctly different cults of Starfinder today and see what the hell is going on with that.
All right.
It's like, damn, they are actually everywhere.
yeah they're always sneaking around um but i have your flavor text
in a galaxy of countless worlds and myriad societies there's no way to effectively document every cult lurking in the shadows though they all share a few common themes most are secretive offering true knowledge only once a member has been properly initiated and most cults discourage the members from leaving Some curtail communication with the outside world entirely.
Many demand contributions of financial resources, service, political connections, or some combination of the above from their members.
All of them promise some benefit to members, whether health, wealth, happiness, truth, or righteousness, even if the delivery of such benefits is limited.
See, I know in our limited Starfinder campaigns, you have certainly interacted with a few cults.
One big example is, of course, the Cult of the Devourer.
We're not going to talk about them today.
They're so significant that we'll touch on them probably more in depth in the future, but...
