Killed a god

[the Jester]

Malhavoc Press has a book called "Requiem for a God"...

...which is FANTATSTIC.

Is there any possible way to kill a god?

"Officially", as described and statted out in Dieties & Demigods, yes, gods can be killed. But it is [strongest emphasis possible] very difficult.

Yes. With science.

All the gods are fated to die in the norse mythology. Balder goes first.

 

[lukelightning]

It's easy. Just put poison on its enob.

Bartmanhomer,

If I may say so, you do seem to have a bit of an obsession on the concept of "becoming a god." Didn't you start a thread last week on what it'd take to become an overgod?

1st level Assassin with a jo stick. Death Attack! Bye-bye Orcus.

(We used to play with a guy who claimed his 1st level Assassin killed Orcus with that death attack they had. The only equipment he had was a jo stick. We thought it was stupid - who would ever use a jo stick?)

This follows one of the Laws of RPGs: "If you stat it, they will kill it." I recall in first edition D&D, we started going through the whole Deities & Demigods book killing the gods in alphabetical order and stealing their godly items. It was silly but fun, and a lot easier when we got Ma Yuan's Stone.

On a side-note; when I first played D&D I thought a jo stick was the same as a joystick. I wondered why monks were so video-game-obsessed.

1st level Assassin with a jo stick. Death Attack! Bye-bye Orcus.

Yeah, back in my Monty Haul 1E days, two thieves in the group chanted "Orcus, Orcus, Orcus", then, when he showed up, backstabbed him for some ungawdly amount of damage. Were I to DM that today, I'd make sure The Big O showed up with a few friends, at a minimum.

who would ever use a jo stick?

Someone whose bo stick was in the shop?

A bo stick? Isn't that a "stick stick". I thought they were just called bo. Bo meaning stick.

Could be wrong, of course.
