[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 3190423, member: 19675"] True, but D20 doesn't exactly lend itself to epic play, IMHO. True, to a certain extent...but the magic of M:tG is pretty highly scaled. I mean, there are apocalyptic spells that affect the entire "game world." In fact, a great deal of what gives the game its unique flavor is manipulating beings and forces of great power, which is why I brought up Primal Order or Exalted. Few are the D&D PCs who would summon a Pit Fiend with impunity, or travel time as a matter of course. If the players don't start off relatively powerful in a M:tG RPG, I don't think it would have the right [I]feel.[/I] Technically, the backstory is that a game of magic is a duel between 2 powerful wizards. I think you're overstating my position there...I was thinking more along the lines of them statting out generic divine beings of various power levels and responsibilities, and then using the names as exemplars. IOW, a greater storm god would be statted out, and then they'd say something like "Exemplars of this type of deity are Thor, Zeus, & this guy from M:TG" [/QUOTE]
