I am very happy with these descriptions. Actually, I'd say this is my favorite post from this column so far. It gave me all kinds of ideas for my own campaign. The only improvements I can see would be to make Demogorgon more devious and Nyarlathotep-like, as suggested elsewhere in this thread by EmmeDiEmme.
And of course, a similar write-up for the cult of Orcus would be nice.

I sort of envision Devil Cults being grander in scale. Demonic cults, because of the chaotic beings they worship are ultimately self-destructive. They may last for a while, gathering more people through sheer potency, but eventually they will implode, largely precluding (to my mind) institutionalization.
Devil Cults on the other hand, I could see having a large and widespread following, covert AND overt. They are more systematic in their approach to evangelism because they make use of both...

bounded accuracy still confuses me
4e is being prematurely burried like a character out of Poe for the unforgivable crimeof 'not being D&D' enough yet every version of D&D has always had attacks get better with level.
how does bounded accuracy not make Next even more "not D&D" than 4e?

I think part of the reason you are confused is because you perhaps think bounded accuracy means that attacks rolls do NOT improve with levels. They do. Just much slower. This is actually a lesson learned FROM 4E, not a regression. This is moving the ball forward into a better game (hopefully). The problem with 4E (as some saw it, and this apparently includes the 5E designers) was that the numbers scaled up too fast. This made for very high numbers as you went up in levels. It made mental math...
