It's Been Awhile from Venger Satanis's blog

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.  ;)
