Divinities: A Godbound Conversion to PDQ#

Divinities is a fan-made conversion that re-imagines the powerful sandbox experience of Godbound using the flexible and narrative-driven mechanics of PDQ# (Prose Descriptive Qualities Sharp). This is a rules-light framework for those who want to explore divine storytelling with fewer mechanical constraints and a focus on player-driven myth-making.

What Is This?

This conversion adapts Godbound’s central concepts—Words, Gifts, Dominion, and divine agency—to PDQ#’s elegant quality-based resolution system. Whether you're a veteran of Kevin Crawford’s systems or new to divine-level play, Divinities empowers you to:

• Build mythic demigod characters using freeform Qualities.

• Wield divine Words like Flame, Death, Sky, and more as dynamic traits.

• Unlock Gifts that reshape reality, compel the minds of mortals, or bend the fabric of time.

• Track character growth and world-shaping influence with Divinity Points, a hybrid of experience and Dominion.

• Resolve large-scale conflicts, mass combat, and even ideological struggles with simple, narrative-first mechanics.

This book does not provide a setting—it’s a toolkit to unleash your imagination in a world where no god is safe from the ambitions of others.

Designed For...

• GMs who want to run sandbox campaigns with heavy player influence.

• Players who want to craft demigods with flaws, goals, and the power to pursue them.

• Fans of Godbound looking for a lighter, narrative-forward ruleset that preserves the spirit of the original while allowing for faster and freer play.
