I never know if I should post about RPGs that seem to cover or overlap the concepts in Lost Heroes RPG or simply ignore them. But this looks quite interesting.

And so thusly I have come across this kickstarter RPG project: Part Time Gods:

We here at Third Eye Games are preparing for the release of our third game line, Part-Time Gods. Players will take on the role of normal, everyday people suddenly imbued with the divine Spark of a god. They must balance their mortal lives (friend, family, loved ones) with the pursuit of their godly existence (adventure, power, legend), constantly riding the line of losing what makes them human. While this may seem serious, no game of Third Eye Games’ is devoid of that touch of humor.

Part-Time Gods is written by Eloy Lasanta, who has already had great success with his other two games, Apocalypse Prevention, Inc. and Wu Xing: The Ninja Crusade. The game will have a great mix of ideas that will be familiar to fans of White Wolf’s “Scion” or Eos Press’s “Nobilis”, mixed with themes and moods of other works, such as “Dead Like Me” or the works of Neil Gaiman (not just “American Gods”). We hope that it will be a completely new approach to the genre. We also have the rising star, Melissa Gay, as our lead artist for the game and her style is perfect for giving Part-Time Gods just the right feel.

While I’m not familiar with Third Eye Games or Eloy Lasanta, this PDF summary of the project does sound quite intriguing.

Part-Time Gods is a game of balancing one’s life and duty. It is full of mysticism as the characters go off to find magical Relics and discover strange creatures. It is full of Action, as they battle terrifying monsters and even other gods. The gods are almost forced to work together, no matter how different their viewpoints on their gifts are, for the sheer survival of humanity. A group of gods that rule over a domain together is called a pantheon. Like the Olympian pantheon of legend, there is no need for the characters to get along, as long as they ensure their mutual defense.
