d6 Flaw2My family is prominent in another guild. I enjoy my
wild life, but I don't want to embarrass them.

wanted to.
3 I throw caution to the wind.
4 I resent the rich and powerful.
5 When I'm angry, I lash out in violence.
6 There's no such thing as too much pleasure.CONTACTS
The Cult of Rakdos is anything but organized. Individ-
uals frequently move from one performance troupe to
another. Almost all members of the cult know former
castmates now in different troupes, which allows for the
possibility of a widespread network of contacts.
Roll twice on the Rakdos Contacts table (for an ally
and a rival) and once on the Non-Rakdos Contacts table.

moved to a different troupe.

Cult of Rakdos together. We're very close.
3 A childhood friend of mine is an attendant in Rix
Maadi, the Rakdos guildhall.

my trade.
5 There's a lesser demon in the cult who thinks he
owes me a favor, and who am I to argue?
6 The master of ceremonies in my troupe is well con-
nected with other troupes.
7 I had a romance with a pain artist in another troupe.
8 Rakdos himself has witnessed me perform.How Do I FrT IN?
The Cult of Rakdos encourages independent action on
the part of its members. Its goal is fomenting chaos, and
it firmly believes in putting its own house in disorder
before carrying that mission into the larger city. So your
role is to execute your vision of grand satire and disrup-
tive performance art, as you aspire to outdo your guild
mates and attract the attention of Rakdos himself.
You work as part of a troupe, with your artistic talents
used in service to a ringmaster's vision. But your perfor-
mance is your own, and no one expects you to follow a
script. I n fact, if you go th rough a performance without
doing something you haven't done before, you're clearly
not trying hard enough.CllAl'TER 2 GUil.OS OF RA\ NICA^81
