I've mainly been looking at it as an opportunity to steal stuff for regular campaign, rather than switching systems. <br /><br />I think it's very possible that "The Great Church" may have influenced some of the stuff in <i>13th Age</i>. While they're from two different companies, all of those guys are friends, or at least very close colleagues. Chris Pramas from Green Ronin worked at WotC at the same time as Jonathan Tweet who is one of the primary designers of <i>13th Age</i> and I believe that at one time or another a lot of those guys like those two, Monte Cook, and others used to game together semi-regularly.

There you have a similar cross-pantheon approach where all religions and deities are welcome; I've interpreted it to include even the less friendly religions, so my players encountered a cleric of Cthulhu who was nonetheless working for the --"neutral good" -- Priestess.<br /><br />Given <i>13th Age</i>'s origins in third and fourth edition <i>D&D</i> I wonder if the Great Church was an influence?thekelvingreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928260185408072124noreply@blogger.com
