Talk:The Fourth World Prehistory Page
From RPGwiki
OK. I think this covers most of our discussions on religion and the creation of the world and the cthulhuians (or whichever of their multiple pseudonyms you like; my imagined author of this piece has his own personal favourite, but I think guys like that work best if they have many names). I think if we can agree that this covers most things we can move the bulk of our efforts elsewhere. One thing to note, I haven't said which of these theories is the right one. This is deliberate.
Because to be perfectly honest I don't think it matters.
Most of our stories aren't actually going to include on-stage appearances by the gods or the cthulhuians or the Godhead or the Fugitive or any of the supposed creators. Their agents and believers are going to appear occasionally, but not anyone who might actually know. And in most of the adventures I would be interested in running the actual truth of the creation will be irrelavant. If I run a game where a SWAT team takes on a group of fundamentalist loonies intent on releasing a chemical that will rust every Descendant of Grundy in a city, it doesn't matter whether the world was created 7,777 years ago; just that the loonies believe it did. Even in a game where we go in as a team of paladins up against agents of the Ascending Dark trying to bring their masters to the Fugitive's hiding place, it doesn't matter if there was a Fugitive or not; just that they think there was and we don't.
We've gone through prehistory. Let's get started on history please.--Alex 13:37, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
