@literorrery Have you played Torment Tides of Numenera?
@literorrery There is a world/race/society in the game/setting that creates gods, or maybe turn gods into objects, through deep emotional bonds/invocations. For example, a small girl created a god of hiding in a pebble out of sheer fear while trying to escape slavers. Not all objects are gods, but all gods are objects that can be gifted or traded.
@literorrery In the game, mechanically, the gods are items that take up equipment slots that do nothing. Or do they do nothing? The small child has an impressive stealth score. Is that from just her? Or the rock she speaks and prays to that takes up an artifact slot? Is the small knife she made for you really a god? Or is it just a crappy endgame weapon? Who knows? Who cares? Do you care? Will you risk not wielding it to find out?
@somekindofcrow Oh, that's awesome.
@somekindofcrow I'm familiar with Numenera, but I've never played it, sadly. Tell me the tale?
