I cannot recall or say I know the Eric movie, though I've heard of it.
Gods (and similar) in many of the classic tales were merely representations, defined by humanity, of personified aspects of reality-- so this makes sense, especially if you take classic Greek mythos, as your example.
Incest, inbreeding, sexual appetites, all the 'vices' and 'woes' of society, yet, responsible for natural events and 'luck' that was clearly outside of Man's abilities at the time.
I love it, personally. Good times-- but to hear that these folks were the children of earlier deities, that's even richer. :)
Perhaps -- to follow your line of thought, my Chaos guy isn't chaotic as we understand it at all, but sees EVERYTHING in a neat organized manner, thus, we've just removed the need for Knowledge!
Hehehe... I'm...
Have you read, the Amber books by Roger Zelazny, that's what he went with, a big pot of Chaos spat out law. etc.
Nice Idea
Zelazny is one of my (perhaps the) favorite authors. I have not read much that compares to his genius in establishing rich and meaningful universes.
I nearly wept when I read of his passing. There is not a day I won't let go by without praising much of his work.

If he is so organized, there is a place for everything, including Knowledge, who, given the obvious level of organization and his knowledge of everything, would easily take control, thus eliminating 'Chaos'.
It's a subtle point-- but, I didn't say /he/ or it, was organized, merely that is saw all of reality as organized and perfect, which no one else really can.
Thus, there's no need to take control, nor eliminate that which exists, the perfection of Chaos. :)

And Knowledge would know how it saw things and be able to take over. knowledge is power, so to speak.
Cliche sayings aside-- would Knowledge, if it knew everything, really /want/ to take over? Why?
Is Knowledge Control and Order in disguise? Hmmm?
And if all this, 'knowledge, control and order' is really just Chaos' ability to see it all, untouching it, and accepting it, then Knowledge is merely Chaos as well. :)
Hehehe... disproving Patrons left and right, weee!

Or-
Patrons aren't purely thier concept.If they were, all of them but knowledge wouldn't think.
Knowledge would have no power.
Dami, you assume they have no aspect of each other- this is simply not true.

You are incorrect (again) sir, I know full well they 'perceive' one another. :)
But, what is perception, I ask you? What is it ..really? And can you be 100% assured that what you perceive, is in fact, truth?
Besides, moot point, DB3 killed the thread. Long live my attempt at creative speculation.

Removed, lemme know when you 'get there'. Then I'll re-attempt to initiate, per your request.

Make another thread, perhaps in General Discussion, for a setting-free discussion of your 'creative speculation'.
it'll have the benefit of letting more people know about the game too. ;)

Ah, but the Patrons are specific to /here/, aren't they?
As for the benefits of letting others know, sorry-- that's something I choose not to do at this time. Are you guys looking for more players? Is this not enough of a player base? Is there a problem?

I was directing that question more to Dragonborn, just so that's clear.
But, if 'we're' good, why would he suggest we advertise about the game?
Damiani |
Would it be more helpful to call Chaos: Entropy?
Entropy is disorder - but in a very orderly way. It works better in my brain than in text... however, Entropy is very all-encompassing. We don't, for example, have a Patron of Mass or Energy, nor do I think we should.
Just my two bits!
*points to Off Topic Discussions Boards*
Oh, and while there, advertise-- but, do it lightly. ;)
NOTE: Attempting snarky humor.

the "weird eyes" is a mutation called "heterochromia" which, in addition to being visually striking, is a fun word to say
I have that.

Nah, it's open. Always. But I'm gonna need some help running all the plots and may start randomly assigning stuff to people to run if I get a wave of incoming players right now. :)

Lyn - strangely enough, you have an email waiting (hopefully the reason will be clear when you see it).
Saw it. Should be able to reply after dinner.
Actually dinner is a pleasant surprise. Recreate Indian takeout at home worked out quite well. Mind you, I cheated shamelessly. Frozen samosas and premade sauce for the butter chicken. :)

It has happened before and will happen again.
And the real mono/dialogue is just slightly more mature than that. XD
