Strange idea for a game.
Well, this took on a life of its own.
What started as a plan to make a game in which players "manage" heroic characters instead of playing heroic characters morphed, and now I am working on a game in which players play gods, each one of which has particular powers.
The character management is still there, but now the player gods use their divine powers to push things along, aid their characters, and create new characters.
It's a completely home brewed system- nothing available that was exactly what I wanted. The idea seems to be working towards "next order of magnitude up" role playing. There are still player characters, but they are gods, and have divine powers and mortals to throw into the world instead of spells and weaponry.
Mortals are a pain in the butt to work with, of course. Stubborn, short sighted, self interested creatures.
Soon, I think, work will be complete and I will unleash this creation upon the world. Or at least RPOL.
Thank you for assorted suggestions!
