Great Game of the Gods OOC / Signup/ Discussion
« on: June 22, 2015, 12:05:48 pm »

Most of the game is explained in the IC thread. This is here for discussion, questions, sign-ups and anything that isn't in character. I'll probably post some tables here at some point to explain my thought processes and also to give players an idea of action costs.

Calm down, i meant WP.
Sorry, guess I got kind of snippy there.

Could we make some kind of artifact that restores ichor?

Can I make the Forcefield automatically strengthen itself over time?

The only way to restore Ichor is put the DP you took out back into it, kill another god, kill some types monsters, and partake in some celestial events.

Things like fore-fields are technically DP-batteries. They are ways of proxying your power even when you are away. They can be recharged by you or another god. The only way you could set up a self-reinforcing force-field is to devote appropriate champions to tending it. It would take a good amount of champions to make a forcefield capable of constantly defending against direct attacks from other gods though.

The magic in this world is a lot like physics in that there is a certain amount of energy out there and that's it. There is no magic equivalent of a perpetual motion machine. All actions need energy and sustained actions need sustained energy. As a result, every DP expenditure is strategic.

I've checked the turns and I have 32DP.

Also it would be easier if you could put the Champion template on the first page. Would appreciate it very much. The traits also seem kinda limiting and confusing. I've left that section blank for you.

I may do away with traits. They're extra work for me and don't really seem very fun. I'll likely dispose of those and refund any WP.

Its fine to miss turns, the DP drip is slow and you aren't losing anything by just doing things in spurts. I designed it so players could check twice a day or twice a week and still both get to play.

I am putting together a second god game to incorperate some of the ideas I couldn't get into this one. It should be slower than this one by a little bit. Maybe one update a day. Although, this one is getting to that point as it gets more complex and my life gets more busy.

Anyhow, check it out if you're interested.

As the posts per day are slowing down, I'm going to update this game less. Probably once a day instead of twice. It sounds like we may have lost some players due to it going too fast.

If you haven't got enough god game, check out the other one. It's less about creation (Your people and land are part of your sign up.) and more about guiding your people. And it has a minigame.

Anyhow, slow day = slow updates.

im happy to see a game like this so it had better not end prematurely.


1. I like the fact im present in the world and active on a daily basis, this I good because I like the idea (seriously I have played so many god games, most of my daydreams now involve me as a god creating stuff. but most god games take place over long amounts of time, my daydreams have me active.)

2.this cant end yet because my brain wont stop until the vision is satisfied. the vision for previous godgames? there still there. clawing at my head, making it hard to think of new things as my thoughts are swarmed by an unsatisfied fantasy.
