I've fixed it to include more options! Also, the deites are assumed to be too busy fighting each other to actually help the mortals, who will need to fend for theirselfs. HOWEVER, all devine or occult technology, such as magic or the various diabolical Skaven devices, still operate.

Heeeeere it is!

I'm going to go with Diablo, without knowing too much about the other powers...

I mean come on, when ye standard Hero can rise to the level of being able to Smite not only the Devil but the Devil's brothers as well?... well thats sorta God Like power in of itself.

The Warcraft Universe. I don't care how great Diablo and that crowd think they are, get a few Goblin suicide bombers in and that's the end of that. Plus there's like, Arthas + Thrall + Cairne = unstopppable. :p

Diablo! Everyone knows you can be immortal in Diablo as long as your belt could hold enough red bottles in it. Any damage you do can be erased as soon as I can quaff a potion - and let me tell you, I can quaff like the best of 'em.

Diablo has its own version of Goblin suicide bombers. Suffice to be said they're not much more than a nusiance after you've leveled enough. LvL 99 Sorc throwing down all the power of Heaven and Earth on you = Arthas + Thrall + Cairne for dinner.

Not many D&D nerds here, are there, only the two D&D worlds haven't gotten any votes.

Middle Earth has one advantage... Sauron. the MERP (Middle Earth Role Playing) game describes Sauron with one advantage.

"Knows every spell, past, present and future." Your D&D wizard creates a mega spell and tries to use it on sauron for the first time? surprise, he not only knows it but can cast it better than you since he's had practice.

Well.....i think middle earth would win since their dieties are in carporeal form on earth.. the miar. thes include gandalf, sauron, saruman, and the 5 other wizards. And Morgoth the Enemy was even mor epwerful that sauron. He even had an entre army of Balrogs at his disposal.

I voted for Dragonlance because of one reason:
Is an army of your precious Balrogs any kind of match to an army of red, white, blue, golden, silver, brass, green etc dragons? The big god-dragons included.

If we're going to count the Dark God Morgoth in the Middle-Earth realm, then we've got to count the Middle-Earth Dragons, in which case the odds are evened out.

Middle-Earth, Cause Gandalf is a Pimpizzle.

it is assumed that the 'gods' are too busy, so keep those out of this... ;)

I voted for Diablo. Why? Well, i know no other world were so many monsters walk around. And there was not one town you meet that has not been overrun or in struggle of staying alive.
My second guess would be Warcraft. But I stay with my vote for Diablo

There were not very many dragons in middle earth. They appeared in the end of Morgoths realm and scattered around after his fall. They never became as numerous as in the Dragonlance-series.

Hey everyone, remember that the gods can't assist.

...Dunno, but Satan (from Diablo) seems awefully god-ish to me.

I shoulda known people would think Middle Earth is all badass here. But there's only one reason: it's made the most money and fame.

But Sauron can't get involved as described in the first post so it really doesn't matter what spells he can or can't do.

And if he's allowed, then the Diablo universe gets the Archangels and the Demons. As it is, Diablo universe still gets the entire armies of Heaven and Hell minus their divine leaders on it's side. Middle Earth has, what, orcs? Orcs, mind you, who DON'T have magic blood potions that can heal any possible wound instantly. In Diablo these things are available to pretty much anyone for a small price. And Gandalf? Don't make me laugh! In Middle Earth he is pretty much one of a kind. In Diablo, it seems everyone and his kid brother can cast magic, and I doubt Gandalf will last long what with his distinct lack of magical red insta-heal potions. Even if he wasn't totally surrounded and outnumbered, which he would be.

Diablo > Middle Earth (etc)

Tekumel (http://www.tekumel.com/) (or Raymond Feist's "borrowed version, Tsurani) would eat them all for breakfast.

Nobody's voting for Discworld! It would totally win! Just think of the Trolls, add the (brief) king of Ankh-Morpork, plus unleash some swamp dragons, and you've got... well... You've most definately got something!

But the D'ni world would actually win over all... Only there are no people there... But think of the awesomely amazing technology!

Warhammer world: there is an infinite supply of troops for every army, not matter how big and huge losses. Every battle new troops will stand ready in the battle line.
