Godbound General

That's a very hot opinion but I've seen E3 games.

?

Powered by the Apocalypse. Games made using Apocalypse World game engine and, more importantly, philosophy. Moves, playbooks, clocks etc.

I prefer the guidelines of Exalted 3e's sorcerous workings over the much longer yet much vaguer and wishy-washy guidelines of Godbound's Influence and Dominion subsystem.

>during downtime, in addition to spending Influence and Dominion, my character could spam Knowledge miracles to learn everything there was to learn about the campaign's plotlines at hand

Isn't the offscreen use of powers during downtime already represented by Influence? I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to be able to do that.

So, what would I build if I never want to die ever? Endurance seems fun, and there's a Word of Blood that Crawford made that would also combo well with it, I think.

Influence and Dominion are indeed supposed to be off-screen work, but the book never comes out and says "You cannot also spend Effort on miracles and gifts while you are committing Influence and expending Dominion during downtime."

If you think about it, it would be fairly strange if characters could maintain their Influence commitments while in the middle of a days-long dungeon crawl in a shard of Heaven while also expending Effort day after day, yet when they arrive back in the mortal world in a calm situation, they suddenly cannot use their Effort during their downtime.

If the rules are actually supposed to bar off gifts, miracles, and Efforts during downtime, then that should actually be explicitly stated. Godbound is a 243-page book, and yet much of the word count is ambiguously-written walls of text that ultimately say very little.

Maybe just say you can only use one or so miracles per down time and a Gift only once? Still keeps Knowledge/Time/Fate Godbound in a comfortable spot where they can set things up, but cannot completely kill the game?

Also sounds like your GM was way too lenient with this shit. I would've come down on it early.

You are, in every thread, thrice the annoyance the avatarfag is.

I am actually more annoyed by the anti-2hu brigade who shit on every thread he shows up in than by his autism.

As for Godbound, I'm still struggling to come up with a decent character. I'm more interested in making a social/utility character, and there are an awful lot of options. I was planning on using Luck for my main offensive capability, and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions.
