Who would Kick Ass?

Concepts? What are you talking about? Humakt is the God of Death and Truth. Concepts have no power. Maybe the power to focus the meager power of mortals toward a common goal? That's not much.

Sinking to the Silly Level. Glorantha is an Egg, outside of which Chaos reigns. The Chaos gods did invade once before, and Storm Bull called down a massive block of solid law on their leader. End of battle.

Sure your average investigator is toast against even Cthuhlu, but how much chance does an adventurer have against a Gloranthan God? They would just rip your soul out of your body and have it for a snack.

Yeah, but there is a big difference between Cthulhu and the likes of Hastur and Azathoth.

True, it is possible that Wakboth was more on Cthulhu's level instead of Hastur or Azathoth. If that is the case then the Gloranthan gods are toast.

Nah, a half dozen or so Lunars would get together, conduct a little ritual....


...and the Red Goddess has some new associated cults!


But It is really comparing apples and oranges. If you go by just the fictional writings, then there is no answer. Sort of like who'd win in a fight between Captain America and Batman.

[Rurik]

Batman would kick Captain America's ass.

[badcat]

Without a doubt.

[Sorloc]

Yeah, bad analogy.

Here's a better one:

Superman vs Mighty Mouse.

[Rurik]

I gotta go with the Mouse. To the best of my knowledge Ralph Bakshi never did Superman. Definately tips the scale.

I ain't starting another poll for this one tho'.
