Links - Lords of Creation

Lords of Creation was a table top role-playing game published by Avalon Hill in 1983 and 1984. The game was written by Tom Moldvay who also worked on the games Dungeons and Dragons and Star Frontiers.

Lords of Creation was not set in a single genre but was designed to allow players to play their characters through scenarios in settings varying from fantasy to science fiction to modern espionage. Characters gained powers and skills as they progressed, including magical abilities and high tech cybernetics. Their progression leads to demigod status, the character becoming a "Lord of Creation" with the ability to create their own pocket universe.

The game broke the fourth wall, encouraging players who had advanced their characters to Lord of Creation status to then in turn take the role of gamemaster, refereeing the game in their character's pocket universe.
