I personally love playing gods, I love the ability to plan out grander schemes or plot threads, and gods are really good at adding those in. One reason I like playing the character being discussed, she's got a gods intellect and scope of comprehension so...well in the games she's in I usually figure out what either the players or the DM are going to do before they have it all done, and so she can act accordingly instead of only being able to know so much. (oh and I'm a she for reference) 1- it has a beginning and an end, just like all stories, but the middle has nothing, we do what the heck we want to get to the end, us players just have a game plan already for what we wanna do, now I'll admit that might not be what some players call a true sandbox...but if a game didn't have an end goal then it's not very fun.2- we embelish, we tell about the land and the people, talk in depth about the entirety of a culture because we're planning on how best to use them or trick them. our planning stages as our character interact with each other is roughly 1-3 hours of gameplay...so sometimes we just don't have time for everything else. Roleplay heavy, combat light to none, we've done one campaign that had literally NO combat and it was very fun.3- it's pretty hard to know something is there or different when the plane hasn't moved, changed, or stopped being what it is, she's just it's new brain and manifestation. she's it's avatar, and with the voidstone item, as long as she's not holding a sign up that she's there and other then taking control of undead, only to have them still follow their 'masters' because she's not making her move just yet, or blackmailing necromancers in their dreams then even a god can't use their 'sight' to find her, or sense her, if one walked up to her he'd physically hear/touch/smell her and whatnot, but his divine senses wouldn't pick up as long as she has the stone or is in so many miles of it. Even gods can be fooled, espesially when their most common way of knowing ANYTHING is taken away.4- and miss out on discovering things about the land, meeting possible new members of the evil team, and using our guile to manipulate the nations governments and peoples into our hands all for 1-3 hours of "does this pass it's ac?...ok, I did this much, your turn", combat isn't really that fun for us, even when we are being totally by the book, our characters are the kinds that should combat appear, unless it's at least 5-8 CR's higher then it should be we WILL kill it (unless the DM wants us dead)...we're too good at making characters for combat. such as the fact that we never use magic items (we feel they break flavor of the mystic artifact feel), but we usually figure out a way to get it that none of our stats are below 20-30 and we have a plan to fight in any environment...when we're not playing the game, we're planning out how we'd handle the game should combat ever happen in any of them, for hours.5- stealing PDF's?...last I checked Wizards doesn't really care if someone makes a PDF and puts it on a free sharing sight of a book edition no one makes anymore. 4.0 I could understand them getting testy with as it's still in print, but 3.X? not only that but at least 800,000 others have downloaded the Players Handbook PDF I have, and that was when I got it 3 years ago, so it's in the millions most likely. I won't go into a long winded opinion on 'stealing' things from a place where anything can be free if you look hard enough...I'm sure theres a forum for it. Please don't throw name calling around just because you disagree with an action the other person might not have the same thoughts on, whether it be me or anyone else on here, I doubt they like it either.6- I think I will check out that one, I've never heard of it so it might be pretty cool if I can put in the DnD cosmology to the system.7- and god speed to him, we've talked to him already, be we're still discussing his problems with things.</blockquote>
