God Game Idea
« on: March 06, 2013, 12:27:53 am »

Maybe we should make a new god game, but combining Pantheon, Godhood, and Shaping of the Formless Void. Sorta like:
-There would be a DM Overgod who doesn't really interact with the game much except in really important events.
-There would be Mighty Acts Normal Acts and Minor Acts that are interchangeable.
-Everyone would start in a formless void with no concepts, objects, or anything and what you are the god of is determined by how you act and what you make (Check out the old Shaping of the Formless Void thread to get an idea of what I mean).
-Maybe a set amount of energy to work with in the universe to start?
I dunno, all I know is that I liked Shaping of the Formless Void for its potential for hilarity, but I disliked it for its lack of... structure/story I guess. Just putting this out there, because I can't DM for shit; but maybe someone might pick up this idea and run with it.

That sounds interesting, kind of like a combination of Godhood I and Shaping of the Formless Void.
I'd play, to say.

I came up with something like that a bit ago; if it's of any use to anybody, I'll share the Google Doc anyone who wants to is free to use it as they see fit.

I'd give it about 5 turns before either a new player kills everyone or an old god kills all opposition and rules over creation Cronus-style.

Yeah, it probably could have done with some actual combat rules of some sort.

If it's RP-heavy, I'll play it.

To say the least, though I'm hoping Aur-Sha survives long enough to get some character development in.
Actually, besides me, Udil, and GWG, I don't think anyone but Thaneos actually underwent any character development. Sad.

I'll try if I actually survive. The whole atonement thing and having to raise Aur-Sha might help.

That would be good.
Seriously though, Corvus is way too pessimistic. Even if it's true, you're only drawing attention to yourself by stating how weak you are.
Just saying' :/

That's OOC. IC Corvus is just watching and thinking. He can't do much else except teleport or try and fail to take power from his own lifeforce to attack.


Anyway lets not turn this into another OOC Pantheon thread.

No, I mean by reacting to other god's actions IC you're drawing attention to Corvus whereas if you didn't people would forget about you rather quickly. That's kinda how I stayed underfoot for so long.

Out of curiosity, do you think I did better as Neyravah or Nelkathar?

Anyways, sounds neat.
