Doc-Tor Mark wrote a rather nice piece about organised crime. My only disagreement is with the cult of Selarn, I agree that it helps elude the secret police, but I feel that it has more powers of governmental opposition than simply being an organisd crime syndicate. I personally see Selarn as an anti-Ompalamist/Darleester faction that preaches FREEDOM (shudder!!), and carries out terrorist activities to oppose governmental rule. They are true Freedom Fighters. The problem with somewhere like Fonrit is that prostitution, narcotics, theft and murder seem almost like the things that every normal person is involved in! I think Selarn may even specialise in smuggling escaped slaves out of Fonrit or somthing like that.
BTW Mark if you keep writing this cool stuff on the Digest, as your GM I may be forced to use it against you!!
Cheers Simon B.
