Okay, here's my personal comments on the various creation myths so far.
boy_bakal's world has not one, but two Armageddon scenarios. All things considered, though, it's a time of peace, so that world doesn't have to blow up soon. Still, it feels like a time bomb, similar to how this big cold war in the Iron Isles of Pharagos. It's a personal distaste, but you know.
Greyhawkish does have perks, though. It means, for one thing, that it can be played almost straight out of the box.
Plus having two overgods in a ten millenia staredown is fun.
Oghma's godworld has lots of potential . I am actually excited to see how monotheism could play in DnD. How will it turn out, I imagine?
One very nagging question, though: If godworld is the only world they know, then why do they want to leave it so? They don't even know what's out there. Heck, I don't even know. No theories, etc? Would creating the stuff around godworld be important as well, then?
If Oghma's godworld has potential, then Xtian's have possibility. Literally. I am currently envisioning a Matrix-esque world, where possibility is computed with such precision, it's almost (or is) divination. All hail the Great Chocolate Chip Cookie!
erwin: No comment
I ultimately voted for Revan's, but two things nag me:
*How the f did mere mortals slay deities? I mean, it makes for good flavor, but with current (3.5) mechanics, I'm not sure it's even doable... Did they figure out a secret of the Deities? A weakness? Perhaps an artifact that turns them into mere mortals?
*godbones as crystals sort of turn me off. maybe it's just me, but crystals kinda makes it Eberron-ish. :/ if we're gonna keep godstones as crystals, then we shgould make sure we're as far away from the feel of EB as possible.
(disclaimer: personal comments. nitpicking, basically. No insult intended) |

Doing calculations to foresee a future of one world is the passive chronomancy magic of other world.
In that world technology may be the tools of mortals in contrast to magic as tools of mortals to another.
Passive chronomancy = seeing past/future to affect present actions (and of course future). E.g. divination spells.
Active chronomancy = time travel to change the past, present, or future. E.g. illithid time travel.
I too have personal comments but I'm a little busy now. |
