I was thinking about how in video games “temple” is basically a word for “building with lots of pillars that has loot in it” and then I was like “haha what if there was a post apocalyptic game where you just looted megachurches” and wAIT GOOD IDEA ACTUALLY

Now THIS

is design, bitches

Just the right mix of religious awe, modernist mediocrity and glurge

These pictures all make my head hurt, but I DO kinda feel like you could fight cultists and/or eldritch abominations there? Or at least a Beholder or something.

the thing is, megachurches are just stadiums and auditoriums. our eternally-despised Lakewood used to be the Compaq Center, where the Rockets played, which used to be The Summit, where my mom saw Heart and The Who in the 70s.

I see no reason we shouldn’t extend dungeoncrawling cultist/eldritch lair status to sports arenas, too.

Nah, Rion, totally different vibes.

It’s the cultists summoning their be-tentacled horror-terror of a deity into this realm to try to consume reality vs. wizards meddling in Things Man Was Not Meant To Know and ripping a hole in reality for an eldritch thingity.

Important distinction.

intellectually, i knew megachurches existed but seeing those pictures is just a whole other level of creepy
