How do you handle Gods
Posted: Thu Jun 02, 2016 3:20 pm
Hello, I am not a very experienced GM, but have been playing around making a campaign. I was wondering how do you handle God's? The beauty of DCC, or any Rpg game is that you can twist the rules. DCC allows more in that.
Anyways. I want to make an area that was founded by someone, and became a god, but the god is exclusive to that area. The area has many natural barriers and was used a fortification.
The primace of the game is someone learned the gods true name and gained control over him. He uses the gods power to soup up clerics etc.... The area has become a prison. Near by lands send their inmates and pay their ruler handsomely.
The want to encourage the party to start as common thugs, take over an established drug empire, and make there way up at crimelords.
Eventually they defeat the corrupt ruler, learn the name of the god, and the god is at their mercy. I want this to be an evil/neutral campaign, but it can easily go the other direction. They could liberate the land and free the god.
My current dm thinks God's will be too strong for for the name thing. I see it as kyptonite. Your thoughts
