Dark Boon 1 - Results
The Aeldari Documents makes much more sense given what our cult represents, I even suspect Emperor would like them if they didn't worship The Four.
 
You've chosen the Aeldari Files! Pretty thematic, and honestly I thought it would win, but I wanted to suggest some other options.

Tomorrow I'll be working out everything I & you need to start properly, then on Wednesday we will be starting for real! See you then!
 
Turn 1 - 750.M41
+++ Thought For The Day: The beginning of any undertaking can be the most difficult; you must have faith you can persevere! +++
Date: 750.M41 Terran Standard


The Human Ascension has begun its journey. They are few now, but none know of their presence or goals. Yet. If the cult moves too quickly, or without a solid foundation, they could meet their end before they have even begun. Still, the cultists carry optimism in their hearts, and only await the direction of their leader Valsen.
(Recruitment Passive: 100 Cultists - 10d4 = 21)
A number of people, those that perhaps missed the first gathering or wished for more certainty before committing, join the cult's ranks. If more are to join, the cultists will have to create avenues of attracting potentials, or search them out themselves. At the moment they are mostly confined to the Upper Hive; movement between the levels, especially upwards, is regulated.

One goal for the cult is to find a new place to hold their meetings; although the forgotten archive hall has served them well, it is difficult to reach, and may yet be rediscovered by Administratum drones. Best to find somewhere more permanent perhaps.

Remember; we are now operating on Riot Quest rules. You have only one vote.

Welcome to the first turn. If you can't tell, I think you should do some groundwork before anything... dramatic. On that note, I'm also giving you more time to vote then I normally would, to discuss things and iron out any issues that occur.
Also yes I did change the amount of passive recruitment you get, felt it was too much.
Each turn is one year.

If you want do a sub-vote, do it like this:
[*] Research
-[*] The Aeldari Files
Actions with a star * next to them means you must specify through a sub-vote.
To explain the actions available;
  • Recruit - try to find new cultists. Can do it generally, which will just be in areas you already are in, or focus it in a certain level of the hive or a certain group of people
  • Infiltrate - work your way into an organization
  • Investigate - when you want to learn about a group, or something that won't take research.
  • Collate Cultist Information & Knowledge - just gathering the general information about your cultists and what they know
  • Research - study a certain area or artifact. You need to study to be able to form certain groups or systems. Could also research generic things, i.e improving recruitment.
  • Attempt to find ways to move between the Hive levels - for spreading your influence further
  • Pray - what it says. Doing it to a certain god will give you devotion with them, doing it in a certain way could provide differing devotion or bonuses
If certain write in options become popular, I'll add them to the list.

Voting should open shortly.

I think we should do what our character does best and do some basic research before we go rushing of to try and spread across the hives.
 
[X] Begin organizing social events between various low level staff members, simple things like lunches, Pict-Caster watch parties and drinking parties.
 
[ ]Start writing the "Bible" of the cult. Before distribution, we must make the foundation of our faith. With the "Bible" we will be able to recruit people more effectively.

Your leader is not, per say, your character. But the bonuses are useful, yes.

Can you specify what organisation you are doing this in? All of them?

Viable. Might only be basic at this point.

@Dragonofelder is there a name for the local law enforcement organization? like the cops?
Clippers.

Doesn't it bother anyone that we know NOTHING about the planet and the city?
The information you know is spread out amoung your cultists, it will help you to collate it.

What does that mean? We can only do one action by turn?
All players have one vote. That then controls what the cultists do each turn.
