In response to message #4
 
   ... oh my god. Pasha, you are my new favorite person.

(Long personal story incoming.)

From 2000 to 2006, I was in a very long-running Amber DRPG campaign. (If anyone here has ever wandered over to Phil Moyer's personal web pages, you may have seen his truly frickin' enormous gallery of art relating to said campaign.)

There was eventually some... friction between our GM and myself regarding my character goals. The universe we were playing in was becoming increasingly and increasingly god-heavy as we went along. Not just the Serpent and the Unicorn, a bunch of others. People were actually undergoing apotheosis on a fairly regular basis and turning into gods themselves. The eventual plan by most people involved was that we'd tool up into our own divine army and go kick the shit out of the insane Lovecraftian entities threatening our universe.

Except for me. My PC had had some... bad experiences, and found the way in which our Dworkin-equivalent was organizing the universe to be morally and ethically appalling. She wanted to start murdering gods. Lots of gods.

(For UF context, imagine if one of the Midgardians who fought in Ragnarok looked around afterwards and went "Fucking hell, this is how the universe is organized? This is how things are run? Oh, I don't think so" and dedicated themselves to figuring out how to murder all demons and gods, everywhere, and establish a formally neutral and mechanistic underlying universal cosmology predicated on maximizing mortal free will and removing the possibility of beings like Skuld being able to hack peoples souls just because they want to.)

This didn't precisely work out well for me in the end. There was... a lot of drama, lets just say.

Anyway. There's a whole RPG out there that is purely about hunting down gods and murdering them in their stupid divine faces?

Hell. Yes.

New favorite person.
