Most Cthulhu scenarios have a cult. A group of true believers who've looked into the dark and decided to serve it. They're dangerous because they're fanatical — because they've crossed a line that rational people don't cross.

The antagonists in The Prosperitas Protocols Trilogy are not that.

The Prosperitas Group is a private consortium. Ultra-high-net-worth individuals, institutional investors, research organizations. They share access to information about anomalous phenomena and coordinate quiet operations around Mythos-adjacent events. They have front companies, embedded operatives, and field leaders who use language like "anomalous asset" and "uncontrolled event" and "collateral."

They don't worship anything. They're not true believers. They genuinely think they're the responsible adults in the room — the people with the resources and the discipline to do what frightened, underfunded governments and reckless cults couldn't.

They are, in many ways, more dangerous than any cult I've written.

Their agenda runs through all three scenarios in the trilogy. In the first scenario they're a name on a piece of paper. In the second they're a presence on the periphery. In the third they're standing across a ritual space with a containment device and a team, and they're offering the investigators a choice.

What makes them compelling to write — and I hope to play against — is that their reasoning is defensible. They've looked at the same evidence the investigators have. They've drawn intelligent conclusions. They've just arrived somewhere genuinely terrible through entirely rational steps.

The trilogy is releasing soon. I'll have more details and a link next week.
