Reviewer's quote not representative of reaction[edit]

There was far more positive reaction to Lords of Creation than that reviewer's opinion alone implies. I know from playing it in its day that it was considered novel, interesting and eminently playable by the cross section of roleplaying gamers. But don't take my word for it. Look here http://odd74.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=nontsr&action=display&thread=732 and at the three reviews found on this very page in the External Links section, which are all very positive. Lords of Creation is also memorable for being among the very first multigenre games (along with Worlds of Wonder) presaging the popular acceptance of this type of game many years later with Torg, Rifts, Multiverser and others. Lords of creation has since acquired a cult status.71.112.41.87 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 03:46, 28 March 2011 (UTC).[reply]

Agreed. Spector's review does not reflect the opinion of players or other reviewers in the day. I worked at a game store when it was released and it was well received. Easy game to run. Innovative ideas but low-complexity rules. Very easy game to pick up and play. As the prev. poster mentioned, LoC held the door open for later multigenre rpg's like Shadowrun and Torg to emerge. 71.35.160.105 (talk) 22:02, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
