I'd be interested.

Now I want to do a suggestion game about Alprozem, even though it would probably be terrible.

So long as Ye Gods events would have an impact on the prophet's job, I'd be into it.
The story would continue from where Ye Gods left off, or possibly from some other point in the timeline if readers would like. The events of Legacy or Litany or any other spinoff won't have an effect, but those of the 'official' sequel might.

Now I want to do a suggestion game about Alprozem, even though it would probably be terrible.

Those things aren't even sapient and can't be followers. Why should she care about them?

All fanfics are heresy, each and every one, especially the shipping ones. Those are by far the worst.

I read sentient as sapient for some reason.

If there was a day/night cycle, that would leave the initial survival of the Maag mysterious. They were born in a desert where the nights are cold and there's no wood so I'm not sure how they could've made a fire. There aren't any furry animals to make clothing or sleeping bags out of either. Exactly how flammable are the Maag, again?

I'd imagine there would have been caves, which while cool are at a constant temperature usually above that of a desert at night. He also put them close to exposed pieces of mantle, so that's a heat source.

As for Maag flammability, why doesn't the god of fire do some !!Science!!  :P

Iliseth is now reminding me of Princess Bubblegum the way she's trying to bring magic closer to science. That actually gives me an idea....

Price check on an interactive holographic computer that lets me simulate the behaviour of a soul or souls (up to 1E worth of souls) without actually creating the souls (naturally, I'd be able to perform science with the simulations)
Price check on the above if I needed to input 1 Power per three simulations

They're also bad sports, mostly.

And don't get me wrong, conflict is fun, but conflict between characters, not between players. There's a difference; one can be fun, the other's usually stressful.

I typically think of God games as a form of strategy game, with diplomacy 'mechanics'. Resource management and utility. Which explains a lot about the different ways we play, actually, now that I think about it.

Also, @Andres/FArg

Or he could hire Saplings or trade things that provide warmth while they're down there. Alternatively, because it's near a mantle, it could likely get warmer rather than colder as you go down.

Also they don't really need to eat all the time constantly or DIE, in all likelihood. They can go stretches without food/sunlight, most likely.

Sorry, but I won't need any help for my mining plans, I already have everything sorted out. Actually you could probably guess what I'm going to do if you looked at the previous pricechecks I've made.

Edit: And for flammability, I don't know. I specified that they were silicon based instead of carbon based, and IIRC that would make them much more resistant to heat, without taking in account the heat resistance I gave them. I can imagine two scenarios other than burning to death: Either they just can't catch fire, or they actually benefit from the extra warmth. That would be funny.

I actually want to try burning one of those cute little creatures as my first action as a god. Would anyone else be opposed if this was done with a willing test subject?

You could just make a soulless clone with power and set it on fire.

The point of keeping the golems on fire isn't for the value of fire as a weapon. It's more to keep the golems functioning at a reasonable speed.
It was never a promise. It was a dirty lie, and you all knew that. You should all know by now that you can't trust a word I say.

Or try burning an already dead one first.

((We can contribute sphere bonuses?))
Even zero-resource assistance gives a discount and power boost to an action, especially if the assisting god has an aligned sphere. Or at least that's how it worked in YG.
