==Campaign Questions and Answers== ''Who were you in the Last Redoubt, and who, if anyone, knows you’re being ridden by a past alternate ancestor?'' I, or more precisely my future self, was an entertainer - dancing, singing, acting, stand-up, my job was to do anything that would help people go to sleep and care about waking up next 'day'. Not too different from what I'm doing in the 21st century. I mostly keep the mindswaps secret, but I've got a couple regular stage partners and I've told them in case I switch in the middle of the show. ''What is something good about the Redoubt that makes it worth fighting for? What is something that is bad but could be reformed?'' Isn't the belief that people deserve to live and prosper by default enough? Well, then, I must say I'm fascinated by the culture and social organization. It's a beautiful melting pot - I don't think I've even seen Mayan deities painted in Egyptian style in a Gothic cathedral - and they managed to remain normal, open, moral people even when their technology made life extention and enchancement to peak human condition possible. I think, however, that they're a bit stuck in the past. Despite everything, there is an undercurrent that the best era of history is passed never to come back - and though I don't blame the people, I'd like them to be a bit more optimistic. ''Have you met any survivors with humanity out in the Night Lands? Are they “human survivors”, and if not, why not?'' I haven't been out in the Night Lands since the switching started and I don't remember my alternate future self going there - which does not mean he never did. I never met anyone post-human from there. That said, on some occasions we've been incorporating plants from the Outside into stage design. There is this beautiful crystalline vine that grows towards divine power like normal plants grow towards light. ''What is awful enough about the Tsan-Chan to make you realize that the Last Redoubt deserves to win their cold war?'' Like, aside from their sales pitch involving subjugation and/or genocide of anyone and anything that disagrees with them? ''When and how did you encounter your new patron Old One, and how did they send you back? Is there something alien about the transformed world of the Night Lands you actually enjoy?'' I've actually met the Black Goat as my 21st century self, and the Visitation didn't exactly 'send' me back from Night Lands, it pulled me back. Long story short, I was quite a bastard back then, drunk on success, doing nasty stuff in part because I wanted to fit in with movers and shakers and in part because I wanted to take everything I felt I was owed. Spoiler alert: not exactly fulfilling. Anyway, one evening me and my cronies are partying in a cabin in a woods, high as kites, and for some reason I decided to go for a walk. I got my first jump to Night Lands then, and after like... a month? I sense something pulling me 'back' (saying back, but it wasn't a spacial direction), feeling like hunger and thirst and all the impulses of living creature, and then I'm back, face-to-appendage with god-ecosystem-thing that is Shub-Niggurath. ''Have you met the Brethren of Silence? What made you fear the House of Silence without seeing it directly?'' When I learned about it, the piece of Shub-Niggurath in me shuddered. I count myself lucky I only know it by name. ''How did you figure out others had the same disjunct you did, and how did you figure out there are people who want to be the Tsan-Chan, including probably darkening the sun?'' First I made sure that it all wasn't a bad trip. Met a son of Vulkan who confirmed that I'm a Mythos Scion, was a bit of a shock. After second swap I started to do some research, both via mundane and divine means, and then I learnt about other scions with similar condition. The pre-Wasps I found out about through the grapevine - Mythic stuff is rare, so when rumours started circulating about a group recruting on a basis of anti-altruistic ideology they reached me quite soon.
