GOD RULES: Player's Guide (5e) Kickstarter Pre-Launch Page

Actually U_K, if I did want to have a good mook swarm backing up a theoretical boss fight against Dumah and Sariel, assuming that with the mass combat rules I'd use the largest possible size of unit, what would be the best form of Celestial/Divine Servant-type opponent to use, assuming that the theoretical party would be DR 15 to DR 17 in scaling?

Well (at the moment) I think 6d Punishment Angels would be a good fit - though they themselves would be more akin to DR 11-14. But you'll have to wait a while for more details since they won't show up til the second Epic Bestiary - Planes of Chaos.

Hey U_K! I was wondering, what are some of the abilities that a Dragon Purview Immortal can get in the 5e rules?

There are 6 selectable Boons per Purview and one sample Mythic Form per Purview.

Its honestly been 2 months or more since I looked at that chapter (finished it a while ago) so I am sketchy on the details. But off the top of my head there are things like the obvious: Dragon Breath; which stacks if you already can breathe like a dragon & Dragon Mount. To a boon where you can shift dragon's colours, breath weapons and ages (can't recall its name). I vaguely recall one called Dragon Tamer where dragons FEAR YOU and you deal double damage against Dragons...or something like that.

Hey U_K! I'm working on a more concrete write-up for one of my homebrew Immortals, known simply as the DOCTOR, or simply as the Man. (He's not a big fan of overly opulent names, unlike a lot of my homebrew Immortals) Of course, from his original media, you may know him better as the good Doctor W. D. Gaster, though he has a dramatically different M.O than his canon self. Specifically, he's using about a million or so Demiurges/small sentient universes to simulate a neural net-esque universe in near infinite permutations, in order to gather data to save the Omniverse by any means necessary. I was wondering, what Divine Rank range would an Immortal with that level of power/influence roughly be, and what Purview would be most thematically fitting for a LN borderline LE darkness/magitek style Immortal like him? I was roughly placing him at around DR 22, but I don't know if that seems too low or too high.

Hopefully everyone's having a great day!

Tricky to pin down since 'using' is an ambiguous concept - an Orc General might use 1 million Orcs in his Army for instance - but not necessarily be as personally powerful as all 1 million Orcs.

I would think at least DR 22 though.

and what Purview would be most thematically fitting for a LN borderline LE darkness/magitek style Immortal like him? I was roughly placing him at around DR 22, but I don't know if that seems too low or too high.

Well you don't necessarily need to take a Purview - especially at the very high cosmic scale of things.

Purview Boons (by virtue of giving +2 to an Ability Score) are slightly better than Non-Purview Boons (which only give +1), but each Purview comes with a Drawback.

But maybe Craft (Science) and Darkness (Evil) would suit your immortal if they did take Purviews.

Hopefully everyone's having a great day!

Posted this in the wrong darn thread earlier (apologies),

...just wanted to say the Kickstarter got a shout out on the Master of Mazes Youtube channel. So go over and give them a like and subscribe. Special thanks to Carl for getting in contact with me and best wishes to him and his son on the channel.

Hey U_K! I was wondering, what would Tiamat's Mythic Form look like, and what would be some fitting Mythic abilities/powers for her?

Also, it's really cool to see that the Kickstarter is gaining traction!

Kickstarter question

...now that I have my Facebook page up and running I've gotten a few offers on the table from some Crowdfund Campaign 'experts' willing to help me for a relatively small fee. They are looking to help me with Backers Outreach or Targeted Mail Campaigns. Are these things/methods legit and commonplace?

They are commonplace, incessant, and infinite in number, and they never stop.

Dave is probably more of an expert on Tiamat than anyone. So probably more of a question for him. An interesting Mythic Boon might be some sort of convergent breath weapon that combines all her breaths and amps them in some way...or her breath weapons give rise to Dragon-shaped elementals.

I think Mythic Form for bosses works best of its a visual change, but it doesn't always have to be.

Also, it's really cool to see that the Kickstarter is gaining traction!

Thanks. On the plus side the Facebook Ads seem to be doing the heavy lifting in that regard.

That said, I suspect potentially 100 of the sign-ups may not necessarily be legit backers interested in the book. So not taking anything for granted just yet. But 300 people signed up is better than the 5 I had after week one.

Still some way to go though, but will need to create another Ad in a week or so to avoid Ad fatigue. Took a while but getting the hang of these Meta Ads.
