I have a list of gods, I just haven't added them to the game yet. As for the multiple gods in Perplexicon, I think you'd have to make a puppet and have it worship one.
Wait...I'm not sure what you said, but if you said what I think you said, I approve and advise adding a banjo.

The fusion circle would probably cause you to immediately be branded traitor by both gods. And of course, you'd have to rick losing dominance to the other player. And have to get them into the circle in the first place.

My gods are:

The Sower of Seeds. Worship by: Plantng seeds, preferably in the corpses of your enemies. Boons: Food, Healing, Specialized Plants.   Taboo: Use of Fire or Metal. Curse: When you touch them, plants either wither and die, or they mutate and attack you.

The Breaker of Spells. Worship By: Destroying magic Items, killing mages. Boons: High quality items that resist magic, buffs Taboo: The use of magic or anything made by magic. Curse: You become weak and frail.

The Consuming Flame. Worship by: Burning things Boons: Buffs Taboo: Seeing someone or something you can burn, and not trying to burn it. Curse: Slowly freezing to death.

The Weaver of Flesh. Worship by: Cutting yourself, cutting your enemies, eating your enemies, etc. Boons: Mutations, Minions, Healing.   Taboo: Destroying flesh. Cutting, crushing, or eating it is fine. But don't burn or disintegrate it. Curse: Wasting away.

The Sage. Worship by: Seeking out new knowledge. Boons: Knowledge. Taboo: Destroying knowledge. Curse: Being struck blind or deaf.

The Master. Woship by: Tricking people, Controlling people. Boons: Minions, Things that give you the ability to control other people.   Taboo: Obeying people of other faiths. Curse: Being forced to do what other people tell you to.

The Smith. Worship by: Making things, preferably things noone has ever made before. Boons: Tools, Raw Materials. Taboo: Destroying Items of good Craftsmanship.   Curse: Being unable to create.

The Betrayer of the Living. Worship by: Killing living things, making unnatural creatures. Boons: Magic Items, Healing, Knowledge. Taboo:Sparing a living thing. Curse: Being unable to Heal or regenerate.

@ GWG: I mean make a sentient flesh human that you control, and have it worship a different god then you. There are lots of risks, or course, but it could be attempted.

Wow, I think that I have already picked two or three gods from those.

Those aren't actually in the game right now, I figured things were complicated enough.

You still lack Necromancer and Time gods :P
Either ways some are quite similar to the original ones. (Not bad!)
Sower of seeds would be kind of similar to Nul-Sheal with plant control.
Flesh one to Parathun, Fire one to (Insert Everflame name here), etc.
While i like Taboo and curse, i hope you continue the old Who kills you gets my favour thing.
Finally, on my opinion, i prefer names such as Parathun and Nul-Sheal to the ones you added.

Not the same, but Sower of Seeds sounds weird to me.
Fedhas-Madhas was one of the gods i said on my post on comparison :P

So.

I've finished up the descriptions for the simple substances I have so far. As it is, I look forward to people attempting to make what amount to light sabers with a blade made of star matter and a handle made of adamantine.

I've moved on to mundane complex substances, which includes things like insectoid, Victorian, Cephalopod, Samurai and the like. Mixing these and other complex substances should lead to all sorts of fun, campy sub-genres, like squid ninjas or Giant cockroaches in powdered wigs.

Nice work with the descriptions, PW. But I think that some substances that don't have a particular reason to appear as geometric shapes should abstain from doing so, so that there is no confusion with the shape words.

Where is what? My game can be found in my signature, and Piecewise is probably still putting these things in the perplexicon file he linked us to with dropbox.

Where is it?

To help a lazy Derm:

Well, actually the list of words is mostly useful stuff, there's only a few that that are really that questionable. The file is here:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/o5eogm7wbmamvd0/Perplexicon%20RV.odt

As usual. It's in progress, obviously, but you can look at it.

By the way, I've been thinking about counter spelling, so opinions on that are welcome too.

Opposed potency rolls, maybe? Counter takes pool equal to the pool used in the cast?

@GWG: It's really just a little Perplexicon game made on the Spec-Evo website. Nothing to do with Speculative Evolution, although attention for the site shouldn't hurt.

The world list is rather small right now, but it's all original.
Hey look at my latest post!
