I don't see very many rpg companies doing it that way. I find this sort of comment amazing. Frankly I don't care how you play.   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" />  Well unless I am confusing you with your compatriot of like mind Shemeska, you have stated that there should be no stats for gods, and that Wizards of the Coast should not publish books on the matter.Yes, but your interpretation of a preservation of mystery (where deities are concerned at any rate) is that WotC cannot bring out material on the subject, because that would destroy the mystery - even though it doesn't have to spoil the mystery for you if you don't read/buy those books! Basically what you are saying is that other people must game the same way you do - thats the stance I disagree with. I totally agree (in fact I have lots of trailing information and adventure ideas in my bestiary).But how is explaining the basics behind divinity and having stats for individual gods explaining everything!? How is that everything!?No book can explain everything! It would take an infinite page count. Does the Primal Order explain everything, does Deities & Demigods explain everything (you could argue D&Dg explains too little!)?I agree his articles are fantastic, but theres a difference between creating a rulebook and creating a book (or article) with elements based on those rules. A rulebook need more clarity than mystery. But what if, in explaining the Lady of Pain you add two more mysteries.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> I have never touted the explaination of everything, but I do tout the possibility that everything has an explaination. Exactly. Divine Campaigns expose previous mysteries but in doing so creates new ones.Absolutely.</blockquote>
