How's it going? This is Venger Satanis. I haven't been on SIN in a long time, but I keep seeing Zach Black on FB and that jogs my memory enough to come back and say hi.
What have I been up to? I'll get to that in a minute...
Satanism, like Cthulhuism or any philosophy/religion, does very little in a vacuum. Just being a Satanist or Cthulhu cultist or LHP practitioner without applying that belief system to one's life, is worthless.
I decided to focus my time and energy on writing, leaving the task of cult leadership to others. Specifically, I delved into roleplaying game writing (like D&D). That's where almost every drop of dark weirdness goes, where it gets used.
Instead of celebrating the Great Old Ones for the sake of celebration, I did something with it - out in the real world. Hopefully, the majority of you have done the same over the past 7 years or whatever it's been.
There's been progress. When I go back and look at my early writing, such as Cthulhu Cult, I smile knowing how much improvement I've made. That alone is worth something. I took a skill that I was better than average at and honed it into something to be proud of. LaVey said something similar when he was alive.
Recently, I finished a book that's doubtless my greatest work. It's a campaign setting and megadungeon, usable with every incarnation of Dungeons & Dragons and similar rule-sets, called Cha'alt. This is where you can find the PDF (hardcover coming soon):

Hopefully, you guys can tell me about the amazing things you've been up to. I'm all ears... and tentacles. ;)
