Episode 2: Dancing with Deities

In today's episode, we're celebrating with celestials, gallivanting with the gods, and dancing with deities! Today, Maren discusses the very nature of divinity, how the game treats the gods, and how the gods affect players and setting. After that, Maren finds a soapbox to stand on before they bring it around to their own approach, and concludes with the Myth of the God Who Made Himself. NOTE: In this episode, I refer to Pelor as Lawful Good. Pelor is, in fact, Neutral Good. Oops. Theme: "Secret Agent Rock" by John Bartmann. Truly a being with infinite creative power.
