the jungle which has to be maintained. That's what the Gods spend their
time doing: landscape gardening!

Yes, very true! I can imagine the salesmen: A unique oppurtunity to get
in on the ground floor of an expanding, dynamic new pantheon! Yes, for
just 1 POW point YOU! could be part of the growing theocracy that is the
Lunar Empire! Get in on the ground floor! Dozens of positions still open
from Trade God to Fertility Goddess!
Alex decries my insistence on mechanics for failed HeroQuests.
Perhaps what I want isn't rules but definite guidelines. I'm resistant
By the way, let me challenge those who think that a limit on the
to the idea that it can all be done by creativity and hand-waving
though!
lifetime of Heroes isn't indicated: how many Heroes can you think of who
did more than one major Quest? How many did more than two?
