yeah copper/bronze is super neat historically. Also some did use iron currency but it's really not a good form of currency as it rusts easily and isn't worth much due to natural abundance. Bronze is also harder (when work hardened) then wrought iron so early bronze armor/weapons would be better than early iron equivalents the big game change was how easily it could be mass produced and eventually the development of steels. One of my favorite tropes is the forge god with a lame foot or something this was due to arsenic bronze (cooper/arsenic bronze alloy) would slowly cause those working with it to become lame due to arsenic poisoning.

Iron is straight up like the most common element on the planet or something. It's just very rarely found in a pure state and getting in their or working it into more valuable alloys is/was a huge pain in the ass

Okay, so what gods and cults have you made them?

What are the gods and goddesses like in your settings, and what advice do you have for designing deities for one's own original settings? And what about other settings who you feel do a great job with their gods? I want to make my first original pantheon instead of just sticking with picrel or copying an existing one like the Olympians, and I have no clue where to begin.

I could do that, lol.

The Dreamer represents creation and the potential of life, the death primordial represents endings, and the last one represents non-existence essentially. Each primordial is aware mortals and some gods pray to them, but they're too eldritch and unknowable to really care.

I didn't even know Marvel had cosmology really. I thought it was all just loosely connected stories to justify Spiderman and Thor and Hulk and all them living in the same world together.

At first, yeah, lol, but then they started getting more epic and meta. Take a look at the wiki, it might give you some ideas!

Just how many universes exist currently, and how have things evolved over time, BTW?
>>
>>97766856
Well, IIRC in Discworld "small gods" exist, 'then' grow into true deities once they find a niche. Or something like that, been a while.
>>
>>97789384
Sure, I'll look into it.

The Dreamer's created hundreds of different universes, all tweaking their designs and laws of physics to slow the other two down. There's universe with higher gravity, one where all life is made of music (inspired by the novel Starmaker by Olaf Stapledon!), one where time flows backward, etc. The other primordials always get bogged down for a while, but eventually they adapt and continue chasing the Dreamer. My main setting is one of the earliest settings, hence why it's so 'normal' compared to what came after.

rules medium-light games

Something I have noticed with my preferences is that I have liked a very specific complexity level of games. Super lights that have like 3 ability skills and maybe an inventory like a Risus dont do it for me, but neither do normal medium complexity games like 5e dnd. Something complex enough were you have some tactical options and a little crunch, but not so complex that a character takes more than two or three minutes to make up. Its a very specific niche between light and medium that has really pulled me in games like
Barbarians of Lemuria
Mini Six
Scarlet Heros and
Warhammer The Old World RPG

Just wondering if anyone else has had similar tastes. Another common feature between them I noticed was player made careers instead of either a class based or skill based system. Also, anyone have any games they would like to recommend in this broad genre?

>>97781437
Another nice thing about BoL's general damage system is that light medium and heavy weapons all have the same potential damage, but the likelyhood of high damage scales with heavyness. Which is really satisfying. A dagger to the eye can do much the same as a greatsword to the body, so a "Critical" on a dagger can effectively do as much damage as a critical on a greatsword. Its just that on average, the greatsword will do more damage.

>>97779383
I like careers, but I have to say I also like a veriety of "generic" skills too. Not like 20+ like Traveller or Call of Cthulu or something, but like10-20 that run a nice gambit of different activities. It gives you a nice "reference point" of the kind of activities you can do. THat's one reason I Mentioned The old World RPG, It consolidated most of what you can do into 16 skills, and you are likely to have a decent fraction of them you are good or mediocre at without feeling like you are just good at everything.

They give a nice starting off point when you are not sure what you are going to do while the generic "Gladiator" career can feel a bit broad outside of the immediate assumption of melee proficiency.

What? it doesnt, its just the means to interact with the setting. I have been going through systems recently while playing in the Warhammer fantasy setting.

Speaking of, Fuck it, I think I might try to smash Barbarians of Lemuria and The old world together. Use Old world's Ability and stats lay out, but Barbarian's 2d6 based dice resolution. There shouldn't be any conflict that way. It will be exciting to see if it does what I want.
>>
>>97793915
I like careers too, not my favourite, but an easy way of not having huge skill lists. I like X without Numbers system, which is 2d6+skill+attribute modifier against dc X. It don't give you too much room to grow though, as each +1 is a pretty big boon
I never liked roll under d100, but it's grown on me a lot. Roll under attribute I'm not a fan of, or even worse, skills are tied to class

There's collectivist angle allowing "all people" to pursue their dreams, which is pretty Lawful.
But also dependence on slave labor (drugged out of their mind to stay content and compliant), which seems pretty Evil.
Or is ensuring the working class doesn't suffer kind enough to shift towards Neutral?
Assuming high fantasy, not mudcore where the peasants make over 90% of the population.

“The strength of a wizard isn’t in how much magic they can muster, but how effective their magic is in effect”

Magic, like power, (or power, like magic) is quite relative. There’s a good reason why magic and superpowers go hand in hand. Same with knowledge. “I know something you don’t know~” often leads to “I can do something you can’t do~”.

Thing is though, we don't have a definite effective range for mind control, or even know if mind control wizard is aware of planet explosion wizard.
They might be on opposite sides of the planet, or a mile apart but unaware of each-other.
