Dragonslayer Pantheon: The Temple of Celestial Revolution

The Dragonslayer Pantheon products by Chubby Monster Games are designed by author Andrew Shields to be incorporated into existing game worlds and provide a new take on one of the religions attached to a god. Each religious order presented includes the common knowledge about the order as well as the secret knowledge of the initiated, non-player characters tied to the order, its practices, suggestions for power levels and adventure hooks using the order and advice for incorporating the group into an existing setting.

Temple of Celestial Revolution watches the stars, and when the time is right, they topple kings and destroy governments for all things must change, and power structures left to long corrupt and fester. The Celestial Revolutionaries seem likely to end up in opposition to traditional adventurers as they seek to tear down the country in which the adventurers operate in, but the cult’s goals could align with others and allies are always welcome. The Celestial Revolutionaries are also playing a long game of divine politics which could conflict with other aims or lead them to hire adventurers to advance that agenda. Many options in play could arise from this militant cult. A map of the Way Station of Nurlen, a staging post for the sect, is provided as well.

Overall, I think the Dragonslayer Pantheon product provides a useful set of ideas and options to spark adventure and interest in various religions in a game world.

Disclosure: As a featured reviewer for RPGNow/DriveThroughRPG, I received my copy of this product for free from the publisher for the purpose of this review.

Here's a rather intriguing religion that could easily become a central feature of a whole campaign!

Rarely seen, these star-gazing political commentators emerge only when they think a particular government or ruling dynasty has been in charge long enough and remain in public view only long enough to forment a revolution to overthrow them. Then it's back to their mountain fastnesses until the next time...

Being a generic resource, you will have to add necessary game mechanics to everything here, but there are excellent descriptions of beliefs, practices and NPCs to start you off. There is a rough sketch of one of their strongholds as well.

The product also abounds with ideas on how to incorporate the Temple of Celestial Revolution into your game - the characters may be bystanders or they may be involved on one side or the other from the outset, they might even precipitate events!

One thought (not mentioned) is that if you have a region with an oppressive regime and seed the place with legends and rumours about the Temple of Celestial Revolution, the characters might go seek them out and try to persuade them that now is the time to act! But what will be the response? Indeed, are they still there?

Have fun - I shall!
