Just downloaded a copy of Lords of Creation (1983) from some sketchy PDF site.

@edheil Yes, that was pretty rare for a game from that era.. like almost unheard of. That's why I mentioned it.
We take things like that as normal now, but back in the early 80s it was .. odd
Imagine being able to play The Yeti Sanction straight out of the box.
Then stop imaging that quite quickly.
@Printdevil lol a friend of mine has very fond memories of Lords of Creation, I wonder if I can get him to play it.
I never played it back in the day, just owned it.

@edheil I can fix her.

@Tim_Eagon correct response

@edheil That's the font!
I expect to see it in Dad's Army or something
-
@Printdevil it is really distinctive!

@edheil I have all the LoC stuff and it's bonkers. I've never quite understood how Omegakron and the Horn of Roland were all meant to connect (allegedly) and the character generation is surreal.
But the comedy-cooper-bold font choice for the apocalypse type background bit blew my mind
The scenarios did some in nice little boxes with props though
@Printdevil @edheil I do wish AH had at least published the five intended adventures, but it doesn't seem likely that the lady two ever existed beyond notes at best.

@edheil It's so nerfy.
How can you write about Opsis Mother of Venom, in a font that looks like it hangs out with Comic Sans at the weekend.

I think if you'd finished the first three you'd probably get nose bleeds or something like you were in Scanners.

For Lords of Creation? That doesn't actually surprise me, it was was just a glow in the dark weird whole event of a game.
See also "Man Myth and Magic" and its strange progression through badly understood history.

@SJohnRoss @edheil I've heard it described as Tom Moldvay's D&D homebrew, which seems reasonable.

@Printdevil @edheil Oh gods no, don't mention that game!

@Printdevil how dare you criticize the font, it was chosen by Pithekos himself

Omegakron is quite a mad scenario. I always felt it was like the players were in Star Trek and beamed down into the middle of "someone else's game"
