IC Thread

Pre-start intro text
So recently I stumbled upon this little gem:
Dawn of Worlds.
A relatively simple system for cooperative world making.

As a brief summary - gameplay is divided into 3 ages - land (geography, predominantly), races, and relations.
Participants can perform certain actions, such as founding a race, commanding them, or terraforming. These cost Power, the exact cost depending on the action and age.
2d6 power is gained per turn.
The link above provides the full rules.

If a game were to occur, I would act as a moderator, settling disputes and judging 'fair play' - no unjustifiable destruction.
A certain amount of RP would be expected.

I'm interested in this, so if you're gonna start this, count me in. I read the rules already a few months ago, and very briefly played it. Also, is it going to be played via PbP?

[sjm9876]

Yeah. I'll sort a basic map out in paint if this gets some more interest, mainly because paint-level editing should be available to everyone.

[Remuthra]

I'm interested.

Let's see where this goes.

[sjm9876]

Well looking like this will go ahead, so some notes:

• Rounds will start/end at a summary post made by me. power allocation will also occur here.
• The start/end of ages will be down to my judgement - if the world still feels empty after 5 rounds of 'land,' more land will follow.
• The avatar 'create race' ability is instead 'create subrace,' unless suitable RP can be provided to explain how a mortal could create an entire race.
• When attacking cities, you should make clear whether you intend to occupy or raze.
• RP should be provided wherever possible.
• Care should be taken not to render other players contributions worthless - total annihilation of a race, for example, should be avoided. If you wouldn't want it to happen to you, don't do it to someone else.
• Breaching of rules or severe mistreatment of other players may force a round retake. Please don't be this person. Better to check if your actions are acceptable than cause this.

Players are expected to provide an updated map for their turns. ideal host is imgur, unless anyone can recommend a better one.
Use the linked BBcode, edited to look as follows:

Applications are now being officially taken - simply declare interest.

[darkpaladin109]

We need to have a turn order, obviously.

[sjm9876]

That will come once I get applications I'll probably take up to 5 players.

[darkpaladin109]

I'm applying, then.

[Remuthra]

I suppose I'll apply.

A certain amount of RP would be expected.

Usually players do not take on the role of a particular god...

Hm-hm.


Also, applying.

[Fniff]

Applying. Also, I assume roleplaying in this context means detailing events and such.

I interpreted the statement as not having a particular aspect - the RP would for example explain why a dragon is able to raise elves to march to war.

^ This.

[zacen299]

Applying here. Looks interesting enough.

[kaian-a-coel]

Worldbuilding? Count me in.

Although I saw some mentions of warring and stuff, which worries me. I'd like a coop game. I'll read the full rules and come back.

Still applying ANYWAY.
