Other Factions

[Rogerd]

I was thinking of ways to add other factions into a combined game. So we have the Olympians, Amberites, Gossamer Lords, so a freaky idea came to mind.

Nobilis?

Crazy, well sorta. Then I remembered a series of books I read when I was younger, like a lot younger. The Incarnations of Immortality. What if another faction, kind of like the Endless from DC, and Incarnations existed? Each one representing a concept, but without being too OTT like Nobilis tends to be.

With a bit of tinkering, and splitting them up, like in the books into Greater, Intermediate and Lesser would actually work. It may result into a bit of cosmology changes.

That raises a question, would Death actually collect an Amberite, or Olympian upon death?

This led to a whole host of other thoughts. What if there was a family of Gossamer Lords? Perhaps one of the gods, was not actually a god in the first place. But one of the first to eventually walk the Infinite Stair? For me I think this would have to be Janus. But you could just as easily invent your own.

Perhaps because there are infinite universe, he was obviously once mortal, so his children, and children's children, descendants over X number of years - before the gene dilutes itself too far, could also become Gossamer Lords? Hence in a way they are his family, albeit through probability.

Just a few musings I was having.
As always, let me know your thoughts?

Fun stuff, I love the system because it is so flexible.  If you wanted to explore other mythologies or create your own, it is mechanically very easy to do.
