1. Any Spoiler tag which has the name of a specific person or group is ONLY to be read by said group and by the “Mansion” player. Doing things in/or reference things in other peoples results outside of a group will result in extremely unlucky rolls determined by me instead of dice.

2. Inactivity of more than a week will lead to your character/the mansion running on Horror Movie logic (i.e. Your automated moves will be stupid beyond all relief)

3. If you are going to be gone, post and you get a grace period of 3 weeks where other players/the mansion can't harm you until you act. Once it runs out, your character might be given to someone in the waitlist.

4. Funny business IS allowed, but may not be the best idea for survival...

5. Winning the game, as any group, gives you an option of entering the next round without going through the waiting list. If a sole human wins, he has the option of becoming the next mansion player. You DO need to ask for this, though.

6. Remember that the game is based of the horror genre in general, and the results of your actions will be affected due to this...

7. If you have questions on any of these rules, just ask.


“Living” Players (People who enter the Mansion)
1. While you are allowed to stretch your character's abilities, it is all within a average human's ability.

2. You are all, at least at the start, perfectly ordinary humans. You will survive just about anything a human can, but you can't truck through everything as easily if you are wounded.

3. You cannot actually kill the Mansion player, as your goal is to escape.

4. The first region of the Mansion (appropriately called “Mansion“) will never have an escape route.

5. Killing other human players, while inadvisable due to the fact that that means the mansion player can focus more on you, is allowed TO AN EXTENT. Sadism or killing rampages will bite you in the arse.

6. Players can discuss strategy OOC, and any information leaked out is immune to the “no spoilered information” rule. No using this rule as a loophole, however.

“Mansion” Player
1. You are not a physical entity, and cannot flat-out directly attack players (technically you can, but we'll get to that soon).

2. For your turn, PM me with what you want to do. This is so no player knows what you are going to do.

3. Every turn you get 2 dice to work with. You can, with the each turn, do several different rolls near specified players or hiding somewhere in the mansion itself. You have to announce what type of roll you are doing with each dice:
-----1. “Monster” Rolls: This kind of roll creates a living NPC which acts on its own to hinder players. Roll determines actual danger of the monster to a player. You can roll both of your dice on this to get a stronger monster. The player will specify what they want as a monster when the roll is announced. You can also say it is “general” to a region to make appear throughout the area, but also getting a penalty to your roll.
-----2. “Trap” Roll, which creates a trap in a room near the players. Roll determines lethality/visability of traps (the more lethal the trap, the more obvious.) Player states what group is the trap near and what the trap is.
-----3. “Hazard” Roll, which can create a hazard in a nearby room or in a room with a player in it. Creates some sort of environmental hazard to impede/harm the player. Roll determines whether you get what you want or not. Can only be done in regions which you have “made” yourself.
-----4. “Ghost” Roll, which you can do things like fling objects at the players, close doors, etc. It is tougher to throw larger objects, and you cannot affect things which players directly have. You can only throw things in regions which you have “made” yourself, unless the object is something pretty harmless, like a small rock.

 4. Sometimes, I will specify at the bottom of the page that you will need to choose the next “region” of the mansion. Just announce a “Region” use of one of your dice to get some choice. Any region you yourself have chosen you get a +1 to all rolls in, along with the ability to do some specified things in the list above. This roll is not required, and if I have to I will make something up.

Monster Roll Strength:
(1) Roll Failed, Monster not created
(2) Illusionary Monster, Doesn't actually affect players beyond appearing to “exist”. Dies if any player moves into/attacks it.
(3) Obstruction, The Monster exists, but really can't harm players. Can only really slow them down. Can be killed with little effort.
(4) Threatening, The Monster exists, can certainly can hurt the players. Can be killed with greater effort.
(5) Dangerous, capable of almost killing players with ease, and can only be killed with a concerted effort.
(6-10) Deadly, capable of killing undefended players instantly, only the strongest of equipment can even harm this thing, let alone kill it.
(11-12) Stupidly Deadly, pretty much instant death for any but the insanely lucky, and is unable to die.

Name: You should know what to do with this.
Gender: For reference sake and to deal with horror tropes
Race: For horror tropes. Any sane person knows how this can make your life harder.
Age: For horror tropes. Has to be within reason.
Fear: For a sadistic Mansion's sake. Rolls dealing with interacting with directly thing have a -1. Must have at least one, but you can add more for a challenge.

Mansion: If you want to be the mansion, just make a application and state it on the bottom. Who gets to be it is determined randomly out of the people who wanted to be it.

1. This game, as following the Godhood Tradition, expects at least DECENT quality work and a level of maturity. While wacky stuff is fine and all, but keep it within reason.
2. All applications will be sent by PM. You will be alerted in-topic about being accepted.
3. You are expected to be at least a bit active when it comes to this game. At least post when you are doing nothing, try to interact, etc.
4. Your character was born just recently, so please, do not act like you know any god immediately.

Name: This should be obvious.

Description: Description of the god, what they look and act like, though you are certainly not limited to manifesting as what you put here.

Sphere: What your god is (initially) associated with. Only one "major" sphere allowed, though for minor spheres feel free to associate with whatever you want. As a note, concepts beyond understanding and are larger than a god, like time and space, are not going to be accepted.

Manifests As: What a god normally manifests as. You are not limited to what you put here as what you manifest as, though people will ultimately recognize you for looking like what you put down here.

In this Godhood game, each in-game "turn" you get 1 Divine Action. This action can be divided between many things, but ultimately must fall within the "guidelines" of what actions can do for an Era. Towards the beginning of the game, as an example, a god may be able at push up mountains or create mighty weather patterns which span continents, creating new races, and create the mightiest of artifacts. Later on, an act will be minor, and unable to shape the world as it once was able, and the artifacts will be not as amazing as their First Era cousins.

Gods in this Godhood game cannot run indefinitely, and will need to do a divine "sleep" which ends the Era. A long period of time will then pass where the world only sees minor influence of the gods and their actions, which will determine the next Era's gods spheres and other various "side-effects" of previous actions (a god of fire, regardless of what he was doing in an area, might make the region warmer due to his divine presence, might  grant a populace knowledge of something which they normally would not know, mutate a creature into a terrible fire-monster, or even create a immortal "demigod", for a few examples.) An Era ends about every 3 turns, unless events prevent gods from sleeping unless they do something, like a God War or similar major event.

As a side note, the gods will not be born at the same time. There will always be at least 1 god to be born the First Act of the First Era, but all the other gods could appear at the end of the First Era.

It is almost Armageddon. You are demon lords sent to ensure that it takes place with little problems. Your goal, however, is to ensure that you are as powerful as possible so when it happens, you can become the Lord of Hell. By killing the old one.

Well, I decided to start another RTD. This time, your demons. It is competitive, so be ready to backstab each other. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. And yes, your goal is to kill Satan.

The game itself consists of a few stats which you have to keep an eye on.

World Stability: Literally, how stable the world is. Armageddon happens if stability hits 30%. This is influenced by world events and your actions.

Heaven: This is your ultimate enemy. While you may do whatever you want, doing clearly demonic actions is asking for these guys to send a few angels to kick your asses. The value listed here tells you how heaven is reacting to events. Making it clear: you WILL lose if this gets too high.

Signup Sheet:

Name: If this isn’t obvious, don’t join the game
Gender: Same as above.
Background: May effect starting conditions.
Demonic Ability: As hell is nigh infinite, there are bounds to be infinite types of demons. Any traits which you want are here. Note that I have ultimate power in determineing what does what.
Skill: Either you Corrupt or Destroy. Choose one. (Not telling which does what.)
Minion: A demon has agents of some sort. Seeing as you are demonic lords, these can basically be anything weaker than you.
Choose: You must choose a number between 1 and 10. People can repeat, but this is for certain first turn things.
