Hello,

And yeah its time for one of these posts again. Recently i put the battle system in place to satisfy several players who somehow wanted better rulings on the game to make the battle system fairer. Turns out that was a mistake. Right now what i see is players just racking up acts to defend themselves or just creating more and more weapons either to "win" the game or to defend themselves. Those that want to create are either hiding or doing nothing simply because creating something or using your acts for anything else than killing gods means your own death.
I started with Pantheon mainly as Roleplay experience not for people to "win" the game. Now without all these rulings Pantheon might be an arbitrary game and im an arbitrary GM but thats the way it is, this is the way its fun for me to GM otherwise it turns into dreadful drag. I understand that some players might be angry or disappointed right now having invested massively in weapons or finding the rule system with weaponized acts and so on good as it is.

To those people i can only apologize. Anyway from now on all battles will be done arbitrarily with Gm-Fiat and Handwavium and my own capriciousness. Input from your side about several effects in game events may have are as always welcome, especially ebbors insights have been useful for me. However the game will be from now on run the old way that means its not necessarily fair, but what in hell is fair in life?  ;)

Thank god. Now people with less power get an actual chance.

Ghazkull, how did I only get 3 acts when my character was at the location of Sabt Golgo (who got 3 mighty acts)?

Gentlemen, lets rebuild the world now.

Let's take care of the rift first.

Indeed - see IC post. 1MA each should be more than enough, right?

Also, I plan to restore the plant and animal life if it's still damaged, which i'll assume it is for now.

It was at two, and at the last official turn became 4.

:(  Now Vanida with her mighty act looks so pathetic comparing to everyone else...  At least she saved Volondor

BTW, Ghaz, Am I right that Vanida is not among injured?

Aye, so one each should work. Even if just from the guardians.

elf, you selfish asshat. Everyone is pitching acts on world rebuilding and you keep hiding on your crappy moon and wasting your acts.

Don't we have a "acts aren't interchangeable in the OP? "

Hey, there's still Un'Girlan. As much as I'd like to save the world, I can't save it if I get munched by a god eating monstrosity.

Also, I did help seal the void, I'm returning life to Despair, and I'm trying to save a visionary who wanted to save the world. I only used four acts on myself, and considering my original plan that's actually better.


If Acts aren't interchangeable, then my plan will change.


EDIT: DAMMIT. Ignore my IC post while I change my Acts.
