I look forward to the Ruin vs Beast-of-Blair-Mountain kaiju fight.

The moon would crush them both

Now I am concerned ?

If I may be forgiven for stealing from Jenna K. Moran (formerly Rebecca Borgstrom):

 

The Scripture of the Dancer

Once there was a maiden...

...who stood in the center of every dance.

Back then, she knew all the dances.

She never missed a step.

One day, she heard something in the music, as a singer dropped the beat.

It taught her the joy of dancing poorly.

She started dancing more and more awry.

"Love has no rules," she said.

-- Exalted: The Sidereals

 

Interpret for yourself what the Lovers might have meant.

Should you find your way is blocked
Employ an opportunistic knock
You'll open a gate
That alters your fate
A better reality unlocked

Gift to Civilization: The Knock of Opportunity
 
Let it be known that all the peoples of the world (and its moons) shall be afforded the chance to rewrite their destinies. Any being that finds themselves trapped by circumstance can attempt invoke the Knock of Opportunity. If successful, the otherwise-normal doorway will lead them to a new reality that is better for them in some way. Perhaps in this new reality, they are higher up in the social hierarchy. Or perhaps they are reunited with a lover. Or perhaps they never died and entered the Underworld to begin with.
 
Invoking the Knock is only occasionally successful, but it is more likely to work for people that have dedicated their lives to the freedom and advancement of others.

Geography. Fountains of Aqua

Sentient Life. 

Gift to Civilization: Cleaning Agents

Fauna. Brownies

Interference: Healing can only be done in a clean environment

Mythic Monster or Guardian. Tooth Fairy

Secondary Domain. Home and Hearth

Secondary Domain. Solvents

Secondary Domain. 

 

I'll take Ujikos as my sentient life as they defend their homes and children after death. I am going to go with food storage as my last domain. And my second interference will be the waters from the the Fountains of Aqua not only cleans things, but it erases them too

I had a favor to ask about this actually. I enjoy the world creation draft enough that occasionally I talk to people on Reddit and so forth. It made me wonder how it would be to put the game into a format that could be readily shared, like a pdf.

 

So I made one.

 

The favor is, could you review it?

Idle thought: would "Holy Day" be a fun slot?

 

'Day' being flexible: Lent and Hanukkah would be acceptable. Draft Beltane, Día de Los Muertos, or a Flower War.

 

It would be a fun slot.  It had occurred to me earlier that we don't get into the ceremonial aspects of our godhoods, and that's weird.  I might expand it into "rite" or "observance", so that it could be a holy day, a ritual, prayer, ceremony, sacrifice, or whatever.

Well, I did it. I continued polishing the pdf and finally put it on drivethrurpg.com When it is free vanity press just doesn't take that much vanity.

If Logan wants half the money, I'll do it. Bear in mind its pretty small time and I've only sold 3 copies, and one of those was to my mother.
