This is a supplement for the Agon playset Chamber, inspired by the excellent horror podcast “The Magnus Archives”. This is mostly brainstorming for an upcoming AGON jam I’d like to hold.
I need some help coming up with a 5th Aspect pair for this supernatural Pantheon! Ideas are appreciated.
Chamber research has identified at least 10 distinct forces/entities/wills/? emanating from the Signal, paired into 5 contrasting Aspect spectrums. These forces are responsible for 10% of known SRMs. The exact nature of these forces is unknown, though they do appear to map to currents/patterns/resonances in Chamber’s mapping of human collective unconscious/zeitgeist/culture.
These forces share commonalities that require special attention above standard SRMs.
- Each appears to be moving toward some goal/culmination/apotheosis/crux. These must not occur.
- Each seems intent on manifesting their own aspect into the world through means, sometimes conflicting with each other, sometimes in cooperation.
- Each has attracted a following/cult/club to further the aspect. Members of the following may be imbued/filled/guzzled with signal resonant abilities/technology/insight relating to the aspect they serve. Agents of Chamber are expressly forbidden from enlisting/embracing into these organizations without special assignment.
- Each aspect seems capable of generating new SRMs and signal resonant entities/fauna/horrors/angels.
- Research suspects a channel/plane/dimension/pocket that these forces have access to where they may be most powerful/vulnerable/tangible. Investigation requested.
Outstanding queries:
- What is the relationship of these aspects to the Signal? Are they a byproduct or free agents?
- What is their objective?
- How are their followings organized?
