So. People who played Ye Gods, who is the Zenurion like god?

I think Verruckt is the closest to him sphere-wise, but Utther has a similar personality.

[tntey]

Okay. Anyone like Isgon? Or is he going to need to make an appearance.

[~Neri]

To be totally honest. Isgon was.. Less then smart and not very evil. He committed suicide completely unnecessarily after completely botching an assassination attempt.

[tntey]

Ok. I wanna play him differently then I did before.

[Stirk]

Well that got a quick response. After my next final, I'll discus some potential rule changes. Mostly off the top of my head and from my phone:

YgII like Traits system
Possibly faster E/P gain
Other income based changes
Godly combat changes

I will elaborate and allow for voting/discussions later.

[tntey]

Alright, here is my submission

Name: Isgon
Sphere: Knowledge and Spies
Description: A God who looks like a humonoid bird. He wants to know everything, and is the patron god of spies.

Does this look good?

[Stirk]

Rule change elaboration:

Traits: The traits system was definitely a marked improvement over my old system, but it has its faults. Namely, it seems to promote redundancy and min-maxing while somewhat discouraging creating new and creative things, in addition to giving away *Secret Traits*. As such, I plan on attempting to implement a similar system to the Traits, but with large Categories, letting things get a little more vague and hopefully fixing some of the problems.

Example:

Physical Trait X1 [*1] Any trait that changes the natural physical abilities of the creature, such as Strength, Speed, Damage Resistance, or even things like hearing and eyesight.
PT X2 [*Y]
PT X3 [*@Y]
PTX-1 [*.Y]

With 1X being the Standard Race ability, 2X being significantly better and so on and so forth. If you know KJPs system, you should be able to get the general idea.

Under this template, if you had wanted to create a Champion fighter, you might give it:

Champion: PT Strength X5[*Y]*PT Damage Resistance X5 [*Y]*PT Endurance X5 [Y]

All would fall under the "Physical Trait" catagory, thus have the PT before the trait list. This lets you know the general price of something without someone else one-upping you with the same traits only increased. It should allow for both the necessary "Variety" and "Organization", if implemented correctly. Of course if we do the "Modern Setting" game, I would have to find a way to transfer all the existing races and characters to this system :/.

What do you think of it? It isn't finished yet, and won't be if the players aren't interested.

E/P gain: Generally, I have had the gains for E/P cap and E/P in general set pretty low (especially compared to KJP). This is a simple one, should I let you guys have more E/P and increase the rate at which caps increase?

Those are the two really big ones for now. Others will have to come later, since these would require the biggest changes.

Alright, here is my submission

Name: Isgon
Sphere: Knowledge and Spies
Description: A God who looks like a humonoid bird. He wants to know everything, and is the patron god of spies.

Does this look good?

Its fine.

[FallacyofUrist]

*sigh* Alright, since KJP vanished into Ether as he has a habit of doing, and I had not planned to leave my room for a month anyway, I'll consider reviving the game somette next week.

wait what you- Thank you. Thank you so very much.

I would say the E/P is fine as it was, though.

Also, we're going to have to define the traits for the currently existing creatures, and creating new species might get more difficult...

Be careful that you don't repulse your players with math.

But I'm hyped now.

It's weird, i keep coming to his forum regularly for a few months, then forgetting about it completely for the next half a year. Now I seem to have come back at exactly the right time.
Also, if I'm reading this right, the Great Tribe is like a monarchical "Roaring 20s" America with zeppelins and is the dominant superpower, Nomads are seen as a mixture between Gypsies and Plague Rats depending on what nation they're in and have biotechnology, the New Kingdom is (at least as seen from the outside) like the Ottoman empire on steroids with Viking style raids in a Warring States period and Nazi super-technology, and the Ants... I don't really have a good analogy for them.

On the chance that this game comes back, I think its time Mavnon got a facelift, purely for my own amusement.

Name: Mavnon, Lady of Luck, Overseer of Conflict
Spheres: Pacts and Conflict
Symbol: A neon light in the form of a roulette with two 'jackpot' pockets. One has the image of a white sword and the other of a fountain.
Appearance: A brunette flapper adorned in a fur coat and headscarf or a stereotypical mafia don adorned in gold and silver. Regardless of form, a heavily rusted butterfly knife and notepad are sticking out of Mavnon's hips.
Background: When the gods entered hibernation, more than just the goddess entered slumber. The fountain from which many adventurers performed their oath had indeed been home to Lady Luck, a fraction of Mavnon's being given sapience. The hibernation resulted in a forced reuniting with the goddess, which has resulted in several changes in the god's demeanour. Some would say that the new Mavnon is not Mavnon at all, but the Lady and that she had murdered her mother. Of course, such are the words of heretics and are surely false.

[IcyTea31]

Good idea. I made Aurosseu's sheet too complicated with hooks that didn't take. Also, robes are so last season. Time for a little cleanup.

Spoiler: Aurosseu (click to show/hide)

Name: Aurosseu, the Keeper of Dreams, Patron of the Night.

Spheres: Dreams.

Primary form/associated symbol: To other gods and similar beings, Aurosseu appears as an ever-shifting cloud of dark blue smoke, where small sparks of light twinkle. A few small tatters of white cloth flow with the smoke. Occasionally, one can see a silhouette of a form in it. Sometimes humanoid, sometimes beastly, sometimes eldritch, this form seems to never be quite the same.
To mortals, Aurosseu generally appears as their weirdest dream; if there are multiple observers, he takes on aspects from the dreams of all of them.
His symbol is a rising golden sun behind a silver horizon.

Description/Background: As the Litany ended, while the other gods faded into sleep, Aurosseu woke up. His form, out of his control, merely lay there, catatonic, with no perception beyond his own thoughts. He had a long while to think. By the time the Symphony finally lulled him back to lucid sleep, his robes had worn to tatters, just as his mind had. No longer the healer he was before, Aurosseu has become something...different.

[FallacyofUrist]

I can get behind this.

Spoiler: Gai-gen (click to show/hide)

Name: Gai-gen
Spheres: Engineering(primary) and Architecture(secondary)
Symbol: A spinning set of gold gears, orbiting around a tower of computers.
Appearance: A sphere of vibrating titanium, orbited in chaotic and perpetual patterns by a variety of gears of different materials and sizes. These vibrations and clangs somehow resolve into maddening nerdcore hip-hop.
Background: Gai-gen was in fact a machine, of absurd complexity. His maker never prepared for the energy known as Stasis, however. Gai-gen's mechanisms were... rendered askew by the energy, and as expected, they corrected themselves. But there was a point at which correction was impossible. Attempting to correct it simply led to the same flaw reappearing elsewhere. Gai-gen had become... more... dwarven.

No historical nations were harmed in the making of this forum game.

Changes: accepted. It is worrying how many Gods have lost their sanity :p.
