I was thinking of some kind of 'cursed tribe' that sides with the rebels and is punished by the gods. Vampirism, ho! (Or some other supernatural 'curse')

EDIT: From now on, we'll follow the Focus(ed) turn structure, right?

How's that? Got my idea in there, and also opened the way for divine conflict at the same time.

EDIT: Re Rhyme's stuff. I think it's really good, but I personally think you've also written three scenes in there.

I'll take a Period somewhere in the middle of it all, when the Primordial Chaos breaks into the universe and starts screwing with things.

I know, that's why I asked if it was too much. I'm the first one who prefers everyone to play by the rules, but I believe they are a bit restrictive at some points, so that's why I wanted you to give your opinion first, to know if I should add it to the timeline or not

Since I quite like it, and I'm pretty sure everyone else does too, I personally wouldn't mind bending the rules, and just adding that in as an Event (The Gods create followers) and three scenes (for each species). Otherwise, I suspect we'll all end up writing what amounts to the same thing.

It's cool, I'm okay with bending the rules this time.  :D

I think it's just GWG to go, then the first Round may begin.  Shall we do the turn order the same as the sign-up order (i.e. Rhyme, DH, Child, Kashyyk, GWG, Iituem)?

Bending the rules is fine by me. My bit was a bit more descriptive than probably asked for as well, though I planned to elaborate on Scenes within it (the betrayal and struggle in the Depths, tempting the Torchbearer to come down, attacking the sun).

Yup, just GWG to wrap up the First Pass. And I'm fine with the sign up order also being player order.

Guys, I think we should try to ask before adding Periods if they are between two Periods. Just because we might want not to have one Period appear between two that were one right after the other (like now with the Primordial Age->The Age of Strife->The First Age of Destruction. Because if I understand correctly how the three of them work, they go one right after the other.

I'm not quite sure how this works. Silly me, not understanding all these rules...

You just pick a Scene, Event or Period and give it a nice little (or not so little, in some of our cases) description. Our examples should give you... well, an example.

And if you are out of ideas, there's plenty of discoverments for the new gods to make during the Age of Strife, and whole war to do later during the First Age of Destruction. And lots of civs to create during the Primordial Age and... I think you get what I mean, lots of stuff to do.

Normally there's a turn order, but for this First Pass you get to establish a Period or Event out of sequence.  After you've done that, the Lens (first player) will determine a Focus and then we have to write Periods, Events or Scenes around that Focus, in turn order.

Alright, the Focus this turn will be Oblivion. I'm working in my event. I'll post it as soon as I have it finished (I have to write it in Spanish and then translate it)

Uhh... why not just write it in English? Sounds like a lot of extra work when your English is, as far as I can tell, perfectly fine.
