[QUOTE="HoboGod, post: 5301188, member: 90920"] That's not the point, though. Just because one never develops on the pantheon of a world, it doesn't mean a pantheon does not exist (or does exist for that matter). Just because one never develops political intrigue, it doesn't mean that political intrigue does not exist (or exist). A world builder cannot create a full simulation of the world she creates. The best simulation a world builder can hope to create is a sandbox where those who enter this world see ONLY what the world builder has created, nothing more, nothing less. With this kind of unlimited power, the builder can decide if air exists, but that's no place to start. The builder starts where she choses to start and she alone must chose where she starts. How does air function in worlds that don't specify? How do Gods function in worlds that don't specify? It's a total mystery and not for anyone but that world's creator to decide. There's a paradox of God. If God created everything that exists, who created God?
