Question: In Vlog 22, you talked about statting up Anansi and putting him up on the site. Did that ever happen? If not, how come? If so, where should I be looking?
Anansi has not been statted yet, though not from any lack of love on our parts. We have frequently talked about two different projects that might include doing so, but so far haven't moved to those projects in the constant sea of things we could be doing.
The first project, which you'll see on the poll over to the right, is the statting of lower-Legend gods. While we would definitely say that Anansi is Legend 12, this project seems like a great time for us to mess around with adding all kinds of gods to the site.
The second, which isn't up for voting right not but probably will be in the future, is the creation of a "non-pantheon" god section for deities from pantheons that aren't officially written up and available for Scion play at the moment. Anansi would belong here in the absence of an official Ashanti pantheon, along with other major figures that are famous independent of their fellows.
So you're not missing him; he's not here, but hopefully he will be someday.
I'm personally a little reluctant about the Lower Legend God project. I would love to see lots of lower legend gods, and I know you guys would do a good job, but I am concerned your house rules might get in the way of their associations.
ReplyDeleteI know that sometimes this is not an issue. Sometimes gods only ever demonstrate having associations with a few things, and they easily fit into the Legend 9 - 11 category.
But I would hate to see a Legend 9 - 11 god who was genuinely deserving of several different associations, but was forced to only have 1, 2, or 3 associations because that is the limit of their Legend.
Well, if we thought someone genuinely had 4 or more associations, we'd never say they were lower than Legend 12, so they'd just be added at Legend 12 anyway. We'd never not give a god an association he or she should by rights have (you know, in our opinion, other peoples' criteria might be different).
DeleteLegend rating is assigned based on the god's myths and associations, not the other way around.
