the Editor
Hail Loyal Gallants!
Welcome to the twelfth issue of TinyZine! This issue is a bit
smaller on word count, but just as jam-packed with goodies as
anything else.
Steffie returns with our monthly Roll-and-Play, this time
tackling Tiny Servants of Divinity, showcasing all manner of
High Priests, Gods & Purviews and more to accompany the new
Domain rules from yours truly!
After that, Dan Waszkiewicz brings you a new NPC: Sherlock
Holmes! Holmes would be right at home in our upcoming Tiny
Cthulhu.!

D6 Followers
1 A deity of a long lost kingdom, this god sees only one
prophet remaining.
2 This god has a handful of follower. The GM decides if
they’re a single circle traveling the world to proselytize, or
separate prophets searching for new acolytes.
3 A single monastery dedicates itself to this deity, though it
sends out prophets and missionaries to spread the word.
4 While not the singular most important god in the kingdom,
this deity holds a place in the main pantheon. Heroes find
its temples and shrines across villages and cities.
5 This god stands above all others in the kingdom. Perhaps
they subjugated or devoured their competitors, or maybe
they rule as a wise and benevolent leader.
6 One mere kingdom cannot hold this deity. Their worships
travels far beyond mortal borders, and heroes see people
kneel to this deity at every major nexus (be it a city or
mystical grove) in the world.

1 The High Priest is an impostor. The real High Priest is
held prisoner in a far-away reach of the land, and the
heroes must free them.
2 Acolytes of a rival god infiltrated the priesthood and seek
to bring it down. Can the heroes expose them?
3 The priests ran afoul of the Crown in a conflict over taxes,
and risk being banished. They ask the heroes to mediate.
4 The acolytes’ god fell silent, and the faithful are in a
state of panic. Did their god forsake them? Is something
stopping the god from answering prayers?
5 A young acolyte claims to be the true herald of the deity,
and half the priests follow her into exile. Can the heroes
heal this schism?
6 An evil necromancer (see p.54) seeks to kill the deity so
he may become a god themselves.

Sherlock Holmes, The World’s Greatest Detective. Holmes was
destined for greatness, As an undergraduate Holmes fine tuned
his deductive craft assisting fellow students. Through a chance
encounter with a classmates father, Holmes decided upon the life
12
of a detective. Through some financial hardships. Holmes paired
with a fellow, Dr. John Watson. Dr. Watson was a war veteran and
a trained surgeon. He often looks after Holmes, like a big brother.
Holmes’ focus on his cases often leads him miss meals, and lack in
general hygiene. He also has a penchant for various drugs to either
sharpen his mind or to dull it to slow his racing thoughts.
Sherlock Holmes acts as consultant detective to police forces the world
over. His clientele vary depending on the case. Sherlock has been known
to pass on cases that do not strike him as interesting, even if the client is
Sherlock Holmes
willing to pay substantially more than the current rate. Holmes wishes
to be challenged. He craves the chase and revels in the hunt for clues.
Using deductive reasoning, Holmes looks to the smallest perceivable
items to develop a framework and then fills in the skeleton with clues
and knowledge he gleans from those he is interviewing.
Few can match Sherlock Holmes in a battle of wits. The Opera
singer from America, Irene Adler, and the damnable Professor
James Moriarty have matched Holmes at times. This competition
drives Holmes to silent fits as he does not like being beaten. The
competition with Irene is friendly enough but the rivalry with
Moriarty can be fatal. Moriarty is a mastermind of the Nth degree
operating behind the scenes of a vast organized crime operation.
Moriarity specializes in crafting “accidents” and has nearly cost
Holmes his life a few times already.
Roleplaying tips:Sherlock Holmes can be very cold and calculating.He
keeps to a select few he deems worthy. He is hypervigilant. Observing
the smallest of details. Using offhanded questions to delve deeper into
the psyche of those he is interrogating. His focus often leads him to
forgetting to eat and even bathe for days at a time. When he has caught
scent of a clue Sherlock seems to come alive and deliver lines with grace
and flair. When it comes time for the big reveal, showmanship is as vital
as getting the truth out. And if some police are baffled or embarrassed
by their negligence, this draws a smile across the thin lips of Holmes.
He will often give the public the view that the police are responsible for
capturing the culprit, although he prides himself on knowing otherwise.
To decompress, Holmes will find solace in the joys of music.
