[QUOTE="Lord Pendragon, post: 2984902, member: 707"] So the great quest of the campaign is to find/create a new Dreamer, to take over the support of the world?Such a god-laden story, and no way to become a god oneself, would disappoint me as a player somewhat, though naturally that's just one player's view, and I've certainly played in fantastic games with minor aspects that didn't go as I might have wished. In any case, I was suggesting that as a campaign finale. i.e. the final battle involves defeating the BBEG, after which a PC is made into a god and able to make everything right, fin. If you plan on this only being one story arc in a longer campaign, then having any PCs become gods would certainly be problematic.But how do you earn a god's loyalty?An interesting take, though one that's always felt a bit weak personally. I imagine a god as [i]more[/i] than mortal. Encompassing all that is mortal, and a great deal beyond. But dislike the idea that gods are completely [i]alien[/i]. Without any personal connection, why would they care?I had thought that only the Dreamer was a true god, and the PCs were going to be finding/creating a replacement. But it seems then that the Dreamer is rather some kind of overgod? What does it mean to be on the Scroll of the Gods? Who created it? Is it's only purpose to replace the Dreaming God? [/QUOTE]
