As the Gods Demand
As the Gods Demand
As the Gods Demand is a deconstruction of divine power and deities for use in the world’s most popular role-playing game.
Rather than treat gods and their power as something a player can earn through leveling up, As the Gods Demand present divine power as something that can be wielded and earned by anyone, provided they take the appropriate steps and sacrifices. Walking the path of a cleric or zealot now requires action and risks consequence, allowing players to make interesting choices if they wish to seek greater power. The many gods within the zine offer all manner of powers and boons if the faithful is willing to undertake tasks to earn their favor.
