I don't know whether to laugh or cry.  x.

Craugh, maybe?

Laugh with me on that one.
This was made real when I hit the peak of my 'magic IS technology' in Celtricia phase.

That sounds like something best done in the bathroom, not in front of the computer.

This depends on where the computer is...

This isn't brand new, but I am interested in opinions:

Inquisitors

I might try to do a write for the Unseen Order at some point.

Here's my main organizations page. Unlike some, I don't have enough to need to subcategorize them  :shy:

Oh, and since it was mentioned on the Q & A: the Watchers (aka titans/grigori).

2 organizations for one of my stranger races- the Floaters (Imagine: Subterranean Flumphs).

Organizations
The Sand Merchants - The Floaters' most respected trading organization. The Sand Merchants brave the Overland to collect new and intriguing flavors of sand which they bring back to the Extractors' for eventual processing into edible (and TASTY!) sand.

The Extractors - The Extractors are the Floaters' scientists and chefs. They extract nutrients from the sand and combine them with spices to please the Floaters' pallets. They are also renowned for their work with geometric designs, predictive science, and alchemy.

To join the Extractors, a Floater must prove exceeding aptitude for "feeling" the world. The Extractors must keep their body preserved perpetually in health. To have even one injured limb might end an Extractor's career because their sensory organs might be damaged.

To discourage damage, the Extractors hire bodyguards and have had special casts made for their bodies. To other Floaters' the Extractors look like giant floating mummies due to the gauze-like white protective wrappings they wear when they are not experimenting or combining sand, dirt, and muds.

Participation this fortnight is really superb!  I've set up an auto-disambiguation page on the wiki where you can see pages on factions for several different settings.

It seems like this is a very fruitful area of inquiry for many here; certainly it's an important part of any setting.  It's also an extremely broad topic that isn't easy to cover.  With less than one week left before the next topic, do people feel ready for a new one or should we linger on Organizations for another week or two?

Alas!  I had family visiting all weekend and I didn't have time to write out a new OP.  The new topic - which has yet to be selected - will be up this coming Sunday.  As has been said, it's a big topic... so maybe this as an opportunity?

...Looking forward to the next topic (!) :)

Reviving this beast, just briefly.

Quotethe topic made me think of one type of organisation that I find lacking in several campaign worlds. one that specificly keep an eye on intrusion from other dimensions when travelling between different world is viable.


one would think that someone would smarten up and realise "if I can jump to a different world, then somewhere, there's a world where they can jump to mine, and bring along a big arse army."

offcourse, this is only an issues in campaign world where it have happened, or it's implied that it can happen, such as if spells like Gate or Astral projection, if using D&D system, is not removed.

Very good indeed. I have thought about this, just not yet released any information on the site about what I thought.

I'll push this even further, because it concerns a reply to this. One setting could have such a "guild" even if plane travel was impossible. The guys IN the setting might not know that. We, on planet Earth, have many organizations about aliens and whatnot. But who can REALLY tell if they exist? Ok, ok, don't tell me Area 51!
