Of Gods and Men (role-playing game)

Of Gods and Men is a game in which the gods abandoned humanity long ago, but new, mortal-born gods have emerged—these are the player characters. This premise gives PCs a shared identity and purpose while allowing for individual interpretations of their divine nature. Powers are represented by collectible cards, with mechanics that balance their use and retention. The game also introduces five distinct human cultures with varying beliefs about divinity.^[1]

Shannon Appelcline noted that Ron Edwards identified Of Gods and Men as one of the "fantasy heartbreakers", or fantasy role-playing games designed without using any advancements in game design since Dungeons & Dragons was originally published.^[2]: 408
