He is the type of DM who likes low-power, low optimization games that are very plot driven.In Off To War it rarely makes a difference what our characters say, the NPCs still do mostly what they want. But one can't run a Gods game on a railroad track, by virtue of us being out of control by any means that are not ultimately destructive.A DR1 deity absolutely trumps anything less then a level 50 Wizard etc. The only way to actually threaten our characters would be via Deities with a higher DR. But that means they simply trounce us, as SDAs are the name of the game here, and a Greater Deity can pretty much wipe the floor with us.In essence, there is no way to do it the good old fashioned way, to which HM is accustomed. He can't give is CR appropriate encounters, because we are immune to everything and can cast any spell we want. He can't threaten us or give us a challange without splattering us.This game has to have unconventional challanges and a well thought out plot, but HM didn't know this back when Sunking went MIA and we needed a DM. He thought that we are around ECL 20 and that throwing some CR30 monsters will be a fun challange, but when we wrecked that Frost Wyrm in the surprise round he got dismayed.The power scale went completely out the window when i stated that any God with Alter Reality will have every spell persisted on him + an Antimagic Field that does not affect his own spells (this is absolutely rules legal and practically implied in the text).The DM for this game has to RP the followers and the rival Deities. We need to impress the mortal population and possibly meddle in their everyday life. Anyway I was happy to play with you guys. If you want me to, i can give DM ing this game a shot, but i warn you that i can't promise frequent updates, sometimes i go MIA. We will be short on players though, as we will be losing the Sun Goddess, unless i rp her as a NPC.</blockquote>
