What’s the best cult, secret society, or forbidden religion you’ve used at the table—and what made it memorable?
Was it the belief system?
The leader?
The rituals?
The way it hid in plain sight?
Tell me about the one your players still remember.

What’s the best warning sign you’ve ever put in front of players that they completely ignored?
The bloodstained door.
The abandoned camp.

What did they ignore—and what happened next?
