[QUOTE="Lazarus Long, post: 157050, member: 1800"] Its properly creepy... and borders on disgusting (which is good in CoC!). But... its missing something, I think. Personally, I wouldn't have them directed by Nylacartholop (or whatever ;)), since they seem to be a bit too small-time for such a big hitter in the Mythos. I personally would layer it a bit more: Yippe would be influenced by, say, a national sect, which is controlled by a corporation, which is controlled by "Arkham Industries" (a holding company that's based in another country), which has a board of directors that are the true cult of Nylacatholop. This would, in my opinion, make the small cult easy to defeat (well, as easy as anything is in Cthulhu), but the menace is still around. This would also let you introduce long-term baddies (maybe a rep from the natoinal sect visits while the investigators are investigating). All in all, I really like the idea, but I feel it doesn't go far enough. Oh yeah- give us more info on the type of rituals and stuff that the cult uses. Are they authentic, or are they madeup by the people above them to keep the cult busy or maybe the ritual is one that does something other than what the cult thinks (maybe they got the ritual from the national sect, but, instead of, say, enhancing their ability to make love, it really binds their sol to an artifact). Just some ideas... :) [/QUOTE]
