What would a druid organization or sect thats trying to keep everyone fed and their water clean while slowly eroding the industrialized civilization they help to reclaim the land look like? What would be interesting to add to this?

What game, and which of its settings?
no way you are here all day, are you a fricking psyop?
Apparently he is
"he" is several people working in shifts
Yeah, that's it, deflect with an assumption, instead of addressing the point.
Low effort, no-quality trash.
You're not a mod though?
He’s doing it again..
Lurk more. Mentioning games is not necessary.
Larger and larger nature reserves and parks.
I'm not doing your ecology homework for you.
Green lobbyists.
How many people have been fed by throwing paint on French art pieces or gluing yourself to the highway, 0 or none?
fantasy RPGs are not reality, frick off
You're right. Reality isn't a Fantasy RPG. People should remember that.
Shamans who summon termites to devour wooden stays, floramancers who make trees grow just a little too big to disrupt foundations with their roots, weather control spells to make life hell for residents, etc.. Key thing to remember is that it needs to be subtle and gradual. The goal isn't to wage open war, but rather to make development such a big investment risk that private companies and local governments decide to just move elsewhere.
Subtle contraception in the free food. People stop having kids once their nations are developed but for that period where they're still breeding as if mass child mortality were still a thing the population explodes, you'd scale back sterility once development's ready to do the work for you (unstable population pyramids are bad for social stability which is bad for reliably sane decision-making) because otherwise basic needs met will mean a growing infestation who won't be supported once industry is fully curtailed. Overall has it though given how OP industry is being adversarial in one spot won't fly, you'd need to kill with kindness across the board.
Don't really see them as the sorts to pass on burning fossil fuels and letting slag runoffs do their thing. Certainly their isolationism could be coopted to great effect though.
I'd assume isekai or else a return of magic a la Shadowrun and yes it is malign. The point is the subtlest measures are also the most effective, vengeful humanity using the nukes is not an ideal outcome for anyone.
aw naw, they just use magma veins for heat and such, would be easy for a druid theocracy to convince them magma heating for forging, especially if the druids can use earth moving magic. Divert some aquafers and even have electricity if you so want from steam turbines. And if you're worried about waste and runoffs, sequestering!
Interesting
I should add that the shamans thenselves could open exterminator or gardener businesses (there's a guy my mom watches on YouTube that mows the lawn for free idk) that use the money make on said business to keep the whole organization a flot or at least help with some expenses
Selesnya Conclave from GGtR (well, not FROM GGtR but it's a good place to start to run a 5e game)
Ted's whole story makes lot more sense once you realize he was incel way ahead of the mainstream.
Dwarves that are slowly convincing the population to live deep underground so that nature can heal itself above them. Specially if they start spreading lies about things like there being horrible diseases or deadly monsters on the surface to scare the populace into staying below.
Add druid-organization of city-biome. There are creatures such as pigeons, seagulls, rats and mice which are dependent on humans. Domesticated animals also exist in large because humans need them and without them they will dramatically decrease in population. Specific plant and fungi cultures also coexist well with industrialized society.
Like, imagine all those cutie rat-friends of yours will die if forest-sect wins.
>trying to keep everyone fed and their water clean while slowly eroding the industrialized civilization
If this was possible, why would civilization arise?
Anyone who yearns for a cottagecore life is an implicit supporter of genocide.
A big part of industrialization is about taming nature. If you can actively control or sculpt nature, you can avoid having to destroy or displace nature. Instead of mining, a powerful druid could make it where trees can crush minerals with their roots, draw them up, and make it available as accumulations on the bark or in sap.
So it all depends how high the magic is in the setting. Or the biotech.
I had them acting in secret, to combat corruption. As in, their own corruption. Put the power of supply in the hands of a few, and they become prime targets for intrigue. So they just don’t tell anyone that they keep the crops growing at x10 the normal speed, and they don’t get bothered by unscrupulous farmers wanting to sabotage the competition,
Of course, that secrecy leads to its own set of problems. It breeds fanaticism, for one.
>OP has 1 idea and gives up
the fricking state of this board, jesus christ
lurk more
have a nice day
It's literally just one guy doing this kind of shit, the sad thing is this is one of his better threads.
>Everyone who makes threads I don't like is the same person
Meds, now
Is the goal the eradication of Civilization, or the eradication of vulgar industrialization and artifice?
Is the end-goal vision a world without people, societies, and settlements, or is it a world where people are able to maintain a culture and economy through organic means?
This is just a magical eco terrorist group so a Cell system where each cell is disconnected but still in contact with the lead cell
Why is it necessary for them to regress technologically? Instead of doing the whole "return to monke" trope why not put some level of effort in imagining a society that chooses to prioritize things that they feel fits in their particular view of living in and with nature?
This would be the sort of thing where "magi-tech" could actually be interesting where they forgo the usual sorts of industrial methods to achieve similar goals.
Because the only person people ever base Eco-Terrorists off of is The Unabomber
Gee, I wonder if that is also a part of it, people who only view it through the lens of being eco-terrorist instead of a society that tries to develop their technology and culture in accordance with their belief in nature.
It shows how pathetically void people truly are and the fact that even though they idolize the Unabomber they could never live in whatever world he envisioned nor would they want to.
If you think I idolize him I don't
I think he's a dumbass
If you took me saying they to mean you then that's your problem. Either way, there are plenty of people who idolize his sayings and just as many who are as pathetic as the internet socialist who could never stomach the work of instituting their desires because they know they can't and would probably fall victim to whomever actually could.
frick yall talkin about, frick the Unabomber
