What is the Inner Circle?
The term "Inner Circle" describes three different types of groups, listed here in order from
smallest to largest, shortest lasting to longest enduring:
- Any group while they are playing Morton's List or otherwise experiencing Random Reality.
- A named group organized around playing Morton's List and/or experiencing Random Reality on a regular basis (usually
referred to as a "Local Inner Circle")
- The group containing all people who have ever played Morton's List or otherwise been awakened by direct experience with Random Reality
(usually referred to as the "Global Inner Circle")
Members of the Global Inner Circle are united by the desire to enjoy Random Reality, whether as a leisure
activity or a tool for personal evolution, growth and fulfillment. In other respects they are an incredibly diverse group with
wide ranging interests. Members' takes on and interests in Morton's List and Random Reality vary widely. Some focus on combating
boredom in their lives through wildly unusual activities. Others who are "too busy to be bored" instead use Random
Reality to help them see the bigger picture and not get caught up in running in endless circle of being busy all the time.
Still others tap into the non-dual spirituality of Random Reality, using it like a compass to always point them towards enlightenment.
The Global Inner Circle is the broad foundation of the movement, or Random Reality Revolution, which brings the entertainment
and profound benefits of this lifestyle and philosophy to people everywhere. Currently, there are an estimated 60,000 active
members of the Global Inner Circle, worldwide, with the majority living in the U.S. and English speaking countries. Those aged
13 to 30 tend to be most receptive to the message, though Random Reality works for all ages, genders, races and cultural backgrounds.
Using Random Reality to purposely introduce chance into our lives, we stir the pot, unclog the arteries and remove the rust
inhibiting us from realizing and reaching our full potential. The Global Inner Circle is waking up, one member at a time,
to the limitless possibilities within. You are invited to join the Global Inner Circle, to participate in and become an indispensable
member of this extraordinary movement.

Welcome to The Radius Newsletter
You can't stop, you can't stop, you can't stop the Karma!
Welcome to The Radius newsletter, bringing you this month's Morton's List news and everything Random Reality,
As the world focuses on the Beijing Olympics, Listers across the globe from Pittsburgh to Israel are finding the gold in everyday life. They reach deep down within themselves, tap creativity and face fears to reach new heights of personal achievement and Karmic highs.
Center Staff have been coasting high themselves coming off two huge back-to-back Morton's List events. The Gathering of the Juggalos and GenCon have dominated the news this August, taking Random Reality to the wilds of tribal Southern Illinois then to the air conditioned gamer climate of downtown Indianapolis.
With barely enough time to unpack and repack, Center is continuing the August-o-thon with another Morton's List road trip tour, taking Twilight Lord Nathaninja to 13 cities: Lexington, KY, Knoxville, TN, Chattanooga, TN, Atlanta, GA, Greenville, SC, Charlotte, NC, Manassas, VA, Washington, D.C., Baltimore, MD, Medford Lakes, NJ, Philadelphia, PA, Brooklyn, NY and Vermillion, OH. Rest is for the weary, sleep for the dead!
Make an old woman's day with an Ice T autograph, get to the chopper!, eat JUMBO COMBO then eat some more, ace a drunk driving test, make a little love - endurance event style, bust more than a little ass, follow a random connection through to see where it goes, go where the wind blows you, get paid to eat White Castle, chill the frack out and don't over think things, try a new prescription drug and pack your bags.
A Fate is Random,
The Karmic Order of Twilight Lords,
T.A.C.S.

Morton's List in Israel
The Word of Morton Spreads to a Holy Land Con
Through the Random Reality magic of CouchSurfing, Noa Oren was exposed to Morton's List, bringing a copy back to her hometown of Geva, Israel, in the fall of 2007. Earlier this year she took the game to Icon, a sci-fi and gaming convention in Tel Aviv. Pictures from the con are available online. Click below to check out a poster advertising Morton's List quests!

Too Scared to List?
Helping Friends Overcome Fears of Random Reality
By far the most common reason people who have the game don't play Morton's List is given as finding/convincing friends to play. Why is this? Simply put, people who haven't played are easily intimidated by a game that promises "everything is possible." Everything? Everything! Some people are instantly turned on by this, while others are scared. What's the best way to approach friends, family members and others who may be unwilling at first to "take the plunge?" get advice from top players and add your own comments, experiences and tips.

Bootlegging vs. Licensing
Sweet Jersey Highlights Karmic Choice
Recently, a well made though strangely numbered Nightscape hockey jersey appeared on eBay, claiming to be from an official but scrapped 2003 release. It was unmasked as a privately made item with a clever but false back-story. This incident is the perfect opportunity to explain that although anyone may make anything for private use, items containing Morton's List/DCG/SCG intellectual property may not legally be sold unless the creator is an approved Merchandise Licensee (much like Mutant XIII) who has been specifically approved to produce the item in question. The SuperiCore Group is unusual in that it actively allows Inner Circle members to obtain legal merchandise licenses. So take advantage of this win-win program!

EVENT - Gathering of the Juggalos
Camp Karma in Full Effect!
The Gathering of the Juggalos has always been a special event in Morton's List history. Camp Karma was founded at the Gathering 2007 as an entirely Inner Circle run camp. This year they reached full steam, running no less than four midnight events, daily seminars and Quests, handling official merchandise sales and generally holding the banner of Karma up high to inspire all attendees! Camp Master, Mutant XIII, together with many high profile Listers, joined forces with several other groups, including Hatchet Rydas Car Club to form the Shangri-La Resort, a super-camp that featured a full bar, giant 20'+ tall movie screen, live nightly crowd-drawing performances and of course plenty of Random Reality, Morton's List style!

EVENT - GenCon Indy 2008
The Epic (Re-)Return Breaks Records!
This year marked the first time EVER that Morton's List was included in the GenCon program book of events - all 17 Quests! That's right, Thursday through Saturday, Twilight Lord, Nathaninja, assisted by The Loyal Henchman of the Twilight Lords, Goblin Chris and Amy ran overlapping two-hour long Quests all day, spreading the Word of Morton to many new and returning GenCon attendees. Although Morton's List was in effect at GenCon last year, a bureaucratic error on GenCon's part kept events out of the official program. This year, the floodgates were opened, immediately setting an all time convention Morton's List sales record. Plans for next year are already in the works!
