"Gee, seems someone is a...little crabby. I was trying to say you had a nice hat." Aquilos attempts to explain to the crab before turning his attention to Firalk. "Hey Firalk, you mind helping me with those squid things now?" He asks the small wolf.

Get started on making those floaty squid things on the gas giant I made. The ones with the gas bladders so they can float and the tentacles made of smaller, more dextrous filaments so they can manipulate things. Make sure they are intelligent.

-What do you think of the role/Aspect system? Both before and after the power expansion thing. Answer = I think it is nice and fun.

-What do you think of the current universe? What do you think would or would have made it better or worse? Answer = The universe is fucking insane. Oh my lawdy.

-What would you think of the GM mucking with the game, such as by adding interdimensional not-creations-of-the-current-gods or screwing with mechanics to en/discourage certain behaviors? Answer = I am perfectly fine with this.

"Rassura I don't see how I wouldn't agree to your request.
Get the attention of the other gods. "Excuse me my fellow gods and godesses. I must ask if you could all work together to make a planet with a rocky surface as well as some water covering a certain amount of its surface. Molten cores are a must have. And an atmosphere. Yes sounds right."

Yes, you are the perfect example. You possess all the powers of a pen! This man right here, is mightier then many swords.
Back to our regularly scheduled bullshit. Now with more paranoia and eldritch.

"And plants. You can't forget the plants! And... Bugs! Yes, bugs that eat the plants and plants that eat the bugs! Toss some of those eels in, too! And the carp! And sharks! But, bring me three sharks, first!"

"Perhaps I will help after I am finished attempting to create some life of my own. But this planet must have birds. And bugs that can fly. Maybe a flying, warm blooded, fur covered creature as well. And a few flying serpents or lizards. Oh, and maybe a creature that is a mix between the birds and a feline and a serpent. I shall call it a Drakian."

((Also, I will eventually demand a humanoid avian race.
As for the poll:
1. Game is definitely better after the addition of more versatile Aspect powers.
2. Dragons, magic, maybe the ability to select champions from the life we create and imbue them with a portion of our divine power, to be returned to us upon their death. Although these are all things we will hopefully be able to do anyway given time.
3. GM intervention hasn't bothered me. Yet. It's actually been pretty interesting.))

Sapient gas krakens on the gas giant. Also make a bunch of other floaty fish things for a food chain.

((I think that weird stuff should happen if an aspect isn't used at all or is used for something bigger.))

((Extra dimensionals should only show up when sapients acquires extraplainer warping magic and tips them off to something being here.))

((I'm fine with some Others showing up to screw with mechanics after sapients tip them off to the universe.))

"What's this? Do I smell synergy?"

Float on over to Enkisar and work on that planet with him! Feature wishlist includes a rich supply of groundwater (pressurized and normal), geysers, hot springs, mineral springs, small oceans, large lakes, both freshwater and saltwater, glaciers in appropriate regions, a veritable load of rivers and more! Go nuts on the water, basically.

"Mr. Enkisar, don't forget the mountains, hills and various plutonic and volcanic formations! We do need variety around here! Granted, the glaciers ought to help with that, but we'll see."

((Questions will be answered after I ponder them!

1. I like the aspects, but am rather disappointed about the lack of teamwork that necessitated the expansion of Aspect abilities.
2. I like Ostrioth, but much of the rest of the universe I could take or leave. It probably would have been better if we didn't start with absolutely nothing, honestly, and if we had more limits on what we could do. Good art arises from limitations, after all. In fact, I wonder if a fun game couldn't be had if divine creation actions autosucceeded, but had strictly limited, if versatile power, and RTD mechanics came into play during the interactions of things manipulated or created.
3. GM intervention is good. More invaders! More mysterious shenanigans! Rule patches shouldn't be done more frequently, though. Just once in a while as needed.

By the way, what's the Boston Dandy routine?))

Dunno. Not sure I want to, either.

"I see. At least you aren't suffering."

Mort leaves his little stickbugs and heads on over to where Enkisar and Ebullius.
He speaks in a ever so slightly morose tone, not that anyone can tell the difference with his normal tone.

"Greetings, fellow aspects. Might I ask what you are doing?"

"Making a world, Mr. Mort! Feel like joining the fun, perhaps? Injecting a little death into the proceedings? Poisoning a glacier, for instance? Putting heavy metals into the water? Making the cold seas tear the breath from living creatures and pull them under? Creating undertows and cracks in the ground that many could fall into and get carried off by? It may sound sordid, but adversity is that which makes life develop, is it not?"

"Yes, well. Perhaps adding a little bit of death would be a good idea, but I wouldn't want to add too much. The world is only just starting, and I get the impression that you would like life to develop here, yes? I wonder what small thing I could add...

Any ideas, fellow aspect? Something deadly, but not overly present"

"How about free radicals in fluids and the trace atmosphere the water will produce? They hasten aging, death and decay, and yet one can spend their entire lives unaware of them. Or perhaps introduce a carcinogen or two into the water. Maybe add some mercury deposits here and there, or arsenic."

((As an ooc suggestion cause Firak is occupied elsewhere, I suggest occasional massive storms, ones that are so powerful that they can strip the flesh off someone if they are caught in them. It'll result in most wildlife needing very strong shells or some way to burrow underground, sapients would be able to use thick stone buildings instead of shells or lots of underground dwellings. Or they could have said shells. I have a good number of ideas for life on such a world.))

((Yeah, that'd be pretty cool - too bad we have to wait for our Air Aspect to help with that first.))
