[QUOTE="fireinthedust, post: 5153936, member: 51930"] agreed. Also, instead of just the gods, you could have a list of extra-planar powers who might have an effect ont he campaign world. Example: Orcus (though in his case it's likely you just have the disfavour card). Some creatures would only have favour or disfavour. You could have wandering monster encounters, and if they draw this card they get Undead instead of Goblins. Also, you could have quests to earn "Fortune's Favour" cards: thanks to your actions, such-and-such entity relieves the disfavour, cancelling the negative card. To get this, however, you have to do something for the entity in question: kill Medusa, or help Apollo hook up with some farm girl/princess. Maybe characters have patrons who can alleviate burdens, like Zeus in Clash (1981) who wanted Harry Hamlin to have some nice duds. Granted, this in itself could be the focus of an entire night. My players used wishes and travelled to another planet to get the soul of another PC back from the Deck of Many Things' void card entity. fun times! Hey, what if the deities in question didn't focus on the PCs, but also did things to the setting? Like, Neptune makes all horses in an area go berserk and attack living people, or just run away from their homes. The PCs could then be tasked to help in the effort, including going to find one family's horse who strayed too close to the forest hag's home... [/QUOTE]
