Howdy Alzrius matey!
Exactly, and certainly its easier to interact with something tangible. That said I will be looking to mix up the 'formula' as much as possible, exploring new options and so forth. Mikaboshi may indeed be embodied by 'something' but the destruction of that something may not destroy Mikaboshi. I'm still of the opinion that destroying Sidereals may not be technically possible.
I was just reading that thread funny you mentioned it. It will be interestin to see what happens at Gencon. I am also still waiting for WotC to reply to the general lack of enthusiasm about the GSL (they said they would a few weeks after the launch, I assume we'll get whatever answers at Gencon).
I'll decide what to do after that.
Been thinking about the following breakdown of the Pantheons:
Book 1 (c. 1250 B.C. or thereabouts)
Canaanite: pdf 32 pgs
Chinese: pdf 32 pgs
Egyptian: pdf 64 pgs
Mesopotamian: pdf 32 pgs
Book 2 (c. 250 B.C. or thereabouts, Alexander the Great type era)
African: pdf 32 pgs
Greek: pdf 64 pgs
Hindu: pdf 32 pgs
Persian: pdf 32 pgs
I'll save the others for now, but you get the idea.
Alzrius said:I wonder if that personifies the idea of Amatsu-Mikaboshi too much to call it an "elder evil," per se. The idea that it's a non-sentient, inherently corruptive force is pretty cool because it can't really be defeated or destroyed. It's like, in Star Wars, trying to "kill" or "defeat" the Dark Side.
That said, it's cool that this myth also sort of has its cake and eats it too, with Ama-no-Kagaseo. Though it doesn't discuss that very much, he strikes me as sort of being the avatar of Mikaboshi, which is ironic since you don't consider an unthinking force to have a sentient avatar.
Of course, in the Krustiverse, this is all something of a moot point, as every force has a personification at some level.

Yet another reason to "go copyright," as they say. By the by, any reaction to the news that Goodman Games is apparently producing adventures using the 4E rules under the OGL, prior to their adoption of the GSL?

It does just reek of awesomeness.

D'oh! You even put that right there, and I still bungled it up.
Nevermind what I said then.
