Sisters of the Aquarian Order: The Geminian Prophecy
The Sisters of the Aquarian Order believe in reincarnation. They have seen the same souls over and over again throughout their long history. While the memories of former Sisters live on in the Gestalt, the "souls" are reborn again and again.
Such is the case with Kimbra III and Kelleigh III. Not only reborn but reborn as twins again.
Unlike most Sisters, Kimbra III and Kelleigh III were left for the Order after showing signs of power at a very early age. They already had advanced telepathy between themselves, they are Anamchara and showed knowledge of the Order that many Initiates did not even have.
Tragedy struck the young twins when they were separated in a conflict between the Star Knights and the Void Knights. Kelleigh III was believed to have been killed, though her sister knew better.
Kimbra III now serves as a "cultural liaison" to the Star Knights. Here she provides them details she has learned about the Void Knights in her studies.
Kelleigh III is still alive, but now a member of the Capricorn Sisterhood. Here she also works as a cultural liaison to the Void Knights. Only Kimbra knows her sister is alive via their Anamchara link. The Aquarian Order suspects she might be alive and is watching Kimbra closely for any signs of heresy.
In truth both sisters work toward the same goal, the discovery of the return of the Old Ones.

The Geminian Prophecy
The Geminian Prophecy is so old that most Sisters don't even know about it. It is not in any database, but only recorded in ancient preserved scrolls. So old in fact that there are no Heresies surrounding it. The prophecy states that twins will be born into their powers early in life. They will represent two sides of the same duality and they will either unite it or destroy it.

Planetary Data File: Gaia
Name: Gaia (Ouranos 2)
Class: M. Rocky with nickel-iron core
Satellite: Phoebe (natural)
Semi-major axis: 85,114,187 mi
Orbital Period: 258 planetary days (300 galactic standard days)
Rotational Period: 20.95 hours (20 galactic standard hours)
Mean radius: 3,645 mi
Gravity: 1.176 g
Geography: 75% land, 24% water, 1% polar ice
Mean Surface Temperature: 65 degrees F
Atmosphere: 75% nitrogen (N2), 23% oxygen (O2), 0.9% argon, 0.5% helium, (He), 0.04% carbon dioxide (CO2), 0.02% water vapor (H20) 1.3% other gases.
Government: Planetary Hierarchal Theocracy
Leader: “Her Gracious and Wise Eternal Mother, Cassiopeia CXIV, the 1,153rd Mother Eternal”
The Sisterhood of the Aquarian Order make their home on the small, but lush green planet of Gaia. No one but members of the Sisterhood are allowed on the planet surface. This is one of their most inviolate laws. Scattered across the surface of the Planet are their 40,000 temples, also known as a Priory. Each is controlled by an Prioress, an 8th level or higher Sister. Forty temples are controlled by an Abbess. Ten Abbesses report one of 100 High Priestesses who in turn report to four Hierophants and finally to the Mother Eternal. The current Mother Eternal is Cassiopeia CXIV, the 1,153rd Mother Eternal.
Each temple can house up to 25 individuals of various degrees. All are connected by the Gestalt.
Nothing happens on the surface of Gaia that all the Order does not know about.
There are a few “lay-members” on the planet, the so-called “little Sisters” that did not pass the trials of the Order. They provide a number of the support services to the temples.
The one thing the lay-members are not expected to do is physical labor. Gaia is a fully technologically advanced planet, but their use of much of the technology is limited. The food is grown on the planet by the members of the Order themselves. They are a fully self-sustaining agrarian society. Space ports and meeting areas for off world visitors are all dealt with in their state of the art space station on their moon, Phoebe. Here Sisters may meet with other species who wish to visit their planet. Transport to and from the planet is done by space ferry and transmat beams.

New Release Tuesday: Eldritch Wizardry
The OD&D supplement I wanted the longest is now out on DriveThruRPG.
Supplement III: Eldritch Wizardry.
This was the one that grabbed my attention the most back in the day.
Though this is the cover that I know best.
Demons, Artifacts, Psychic Powers, Druids. Everything I wanted in MY D&D. It was also missing the one thing I felt it needed above all else. Witches.
It is also the spiritual godfather to many of my witch books, especially "Eldritch Witchery".
Why not pick them both up today!!

Weekend Gaming. Modern threats and Ancient enemies
This weekend was the end of the first part of the module A3; the boys are about to enter the city of Sudderham. But before they left the maze they took a long rest.
And then the dream sequence kicked in.
The boys were transported back to the Dawn War where He Who Was was killed by The Destroyer (who will become Demogorgon) and Dis, the god that dies and then becomes the demon Orcus.
The old Dungeons & Dragons toy troll and ogre are Demogorgon and Orcus prior to the battle respectively.
I had them fighting a new creature, well, new "then"; demons.
I ran the game using 30+ level "gods" using the B/X and Companion rules (with some AD&D 1 to smooth out some edges).
It was a lot of fun.
Now to tie it into the current adventure.

Friday Night Videos: Supernatural Soundtrack, take 2
This is an expansion of a similar FNV I did a while back.
I have taken some liberties with the song selections, but the spirit is there.
This is a long play-list. 25 songs, about an hour and half long.
Kickstart Your Weekend: Everyverse RPG
A couple of weeks ago I featured an RPG Kickstarter here, The Everyverse RPG.
I liked the premise and the story behind the game.
Well...it didn't get funded and that is a pity really. But the creator's widow is back and with another go at it.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1945825895/to-realize-a-dream-everyverse-rpg
You can also read more about it on their blog at, http://rpg.parizekdevelopmentllc.com/
+Debra Hoenig Parizek is working on getting her late husband's game made and I think this is exactly the sort of thing that Kickstarter is best for.
Give it a look and maybe through a couple of bucks her way.
