The Divine and the Defeated is the first book on gods that I've seen published. Its by Sword and Sorcery. While it is a very detailed look at the gods in their game world, I've seen that it would be real easy to use some of the info in it to create other gods.

Since it is the first diety book out there I was wondering if Upper Crust could comment on how easily it will be to use his book and the Divine and the Defeated. And if he could cooment on any similiarities or differences between the two.

Greetings!

Alas! I could not keep my original name, so I had to add some extras to it. Fortunately I get to use the real letters this time (-;

These boards seem much more properly structured than the older ones. Evolution!

And yes! I have a question: What is a Ley Line?

-Eä- is a great name.
The -ä- is cool.
 



Hi all,

was out last night (enjoying Black Hawk Down), only just on the net a few minutes ago, and unfortunately I have to go out again in about ten minutes. However, I will be back in a few hours and I promise to reply to every question. :)

Yours sincerely - U_K
