[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 4404976, member: 8461"] I wonder if that personifies the idea of Amatsu-Mikaboshi too much to call it an "elder evil," per se. The idea that it's a non-sentient, inherently corruptive force is pretty cool because it can't really be defeated or destroyed. It's like, in Star Wars, trying to "kill" or "defeat" the Dark Side. That said, it's cool that this myth also sort of has its cake and eats it too, with Ama-no-Kagaseo. Though it doesn't discuss that very much, he strikes me as sort of being the avatar of Mikaboshi, which is ironic since you don't consider an unthinking force to have a sentient avatar. Of course, in the Krustiverse, this is all something of a moot point, as every force has a personification at some level. Yet another reason to "go copyright," as they say. By the by, any reaction to the news that Goodman Games is apparently producing adventures using the 4E rules under the OGL, prior to their adoption of the GSL? It does just reek of awesomeness. D'oh! You even put that right there, and I still bungled it up. :blush: Nevermind what I said then. Sweet! [/QUOTE]
