[Iituem]

In this game, players take on the role of great titans of creation, shaping a new world.  However, the goal of this game is not to be a game in and of itself but to create the playing field for another game in the future (the details of which I will not reveal).  Because of this, game balance is right out of the window.

I will take seven players, and there are a handful of rules set up to give this game an ending and some basic structure.  There is no particular turn order, you create as and when you want once we start, as it is not possible to win this game.

Rules

 - Each Titan starts with 1000 points.  No more points may be earned.
 - Creating a new law or amending an existing law (or set of laws) of physics costs 250 points, or 20 if limited to a specific area (e.g. anti-gravity, magical ley lines, halt of ageing, the rudiments of a magic system).
 - Altering the cosmos costs 100 points.  Note that the world starts with a moon and a sun (and three barren and one gaseous world in its system).  (e.g. A new moon, a new sun, destroying a world, tearing a rift in space and time)
 - Creating a major geographical feature costs 50 points (e.g. mountain, sea, jungles etc).
 - Creating a new broad family of life costs 50 points (e.g. trees, giant mushroom forests, dragonkin, giant vortices of light-reflecting obsidian).
 - Creating a new sapient race costs 50 points, but note: In this game, this race will never become more advanced than the Stone Age.
 - Creating a specific new type of creature or plantlife costs 10 points (e.g. dragons, trolls, golems, triffids, cinnamon, chaos mushrooms).
 - Creating a special landmark costs 25 points (e.g. magical monolith, motherlode of gold, well of sorrows).
 - Creating a special artefact costs 50 points (e.g. the infinity sword, the bottomless bag, the bone of contention).
 - More rules and costs, as and when needed.

 - When you are out of points, or decide to retire, each Titan's final act is to create a god to steward the world in their absence, and then the Titans move on to another world.  [NB: This god will not be playable in the new game.]

[Digital Hellhound]

Ooh, this is an interesting idea. I'll see what I can come up with.

Spoiler: Ultan-Tor, the Great Eye (click to show/hide)

Name: Ultan-Tor, the Great Eye
Appearance: A giant, lidless eye streaked with lightning of all colors. Storm clouds gather wherever it passes, shadowing even the brightest light in primordial darkness. To those looking into it, the fragmented pupil appears to pulse and shift at all times.

[Spiderking50]

Name: Marrow the Silence of the Dark
Appearance: A silent and dark Titan made of metal and bone and rot. The patron of dark things that slink beneath the world. He is humanoid, but bares the face of an elephant with many tentacle-like trunks that cover his vicious tusked maw. He has claws, and wears pants made of darkness. His eyes see through darkness and deception as clearly as a man sees on a clear day.

[Detoxicated]

Name: Morbidon, Guts of Eternity
Appearance: A gigantic worm that resembles human intestines. Whereever he slithers, you can find eels, stinking water, and strangely fast growing plants.

[tntey]

Name: Isgon, the seer.
Appearance: A man with the head and wings of an eagle. He has a cold stare of a hawk. When he looks at you, you will know.

[FallacyofUrist]

Name: En
Appearance: En looks like a bunch of tangled glowy stringy thingies. Magical.

[Iituem]

Seven entities descend upon an unnamed world, two hanging back to watch whilst five look to the surface.

The world is simple, covered in a great ocean (Ao) with a single small landmass above the surface (Ur).  Microbial life abounds, and multi-cellular life has appeared in the sea.

The world has a single moon and four sisters - three rocky planets and a gas giant.  It orbits a single unnamed star.

Isgon, the Seer: 1000 points.
En: 1000 points.

[FallacyofUrist]

En spends 50 points to spread algae through the ocean, then uses another 50 points to create a number of small fishes that eat the algae.
On the Ao ocean.

[Detoxicated]

Create a volcano in the mids of the Ao Ocean for 50 Points, create a broad family of animals called the Heptapods for 50 essence. Heptapods live in the ocean usually, and feed on fish and algae, and they usually have a radially-symmetric built with seven extremeties.

[tntey]

Isnog looks upon the world, he eyes the entirety of it, storing all of its features in his brain.

Spend 25 points to create the monolith of sight. It is magically updated with the information of the world. Then spend 10 points to create floating eyes called seerers to survey and keep watch of the world.

[endlessblaze]

the artist-
this titan's name is unknown, but he loves to create things. he has no single theme but gravitates slightly to darkness and light

the artist creates an island in the ocean and creates on it a great and towering obelisk of unbreakable crystal (ad by towering I mean you can see it from anywhere on the island. when struck by the light it creates a beautiful lightshow of mystical swirling energy. if you touch it while it does this, it has a healing effect.

[Digital Hellhound]

The Eye travelled over the surface of the waters, and watched, and saw deep. Ultan-Tor's vision bore into the skin of the world, deeper and deeper, and in the heart of this barren world, it struck.

It drew power from within itself, separating something chaotic, unharnessed, a furious, ever-burning seed of something with the potential to be wondrous and terrifying. Ultan-Tor imprisoned this spark, a fragment of its being, within the heart of the world. Such a place could not contain it for long. It would rise, it would lash out, it would seek to escape. The consequences and possibilities spread out far into the future too ever-expanding and vast to follow. Ultan-Tor saw this, and was pleased.

Ultan-Tor creates a rift in the core of the world. The rift wildly radiates magic; the power for any being to change reality, to impose their will on the universe. Like volcanic forces, the magic gathers and presses outwards, breaking through and releasing power at random points of the surface above.

[Creating a new law of physics + Altering the Cosmos, probably?]

[Spiderking50]

Marrow had watched and waited. He had seen his fellows shape and move the world. Now one had entered his domain. The bellows and depths if the world flooded with magic. He would carve out holes for it to fester and rot.

Create a vast network of caves and tunnels under the surface of the world. A few of which lead to the core itself. Some breach the surface. 50 points

His caverns were dark and empty. Their vastness rivaled their darkness. Perhaps they were too vast for one to traverse.

Create numerous black water pools within the caverns. These pools are enchanted that if one is to submerge in one, they would exit another at random. The pools shift positions at random. -25

Creatures had yet to gather in their holes. Marrow was displeased by this.

Create the darklungs, a race of greyish humanoids with squids for heads. They had tusks like their maker. They can exude a dark inky and poisonous gas cloud from their mouths. They have an affinity for dark magics. They will slink through the dark. -50 (civilized race)

The first race, a dark race. They would populate the depths of the world. A quiet people they would be, distant and subtle. They will not advance like the races to follow, but they will live on, tending to the depths. They are friends to those who will be friends and the death of any who won't.

Create mushrooms of all sorts ranging from tiny to towering. Some glow, some are poisonous. They all feed off the magic that collects in the caves as it wells towards the surface.

Also create large glow slugs. They eat the mushrooms and are to be domesticated by the darklungs. -60 points

Now there is food for the first race and those who will follow.

[Whisperling]

Name: Maliel

Appearance: An only vaguely humanoid figure formed entirely of stars. Rather than accept a rigid, unchanging shape, the dimensions of the figure's body stretch and shift as it moves. A trail of a thousand shining hands follow the figure's path, breaking away only to shape and mold the world as their master bids.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

Name: Ashteh
Appearance: He looks like a giant feline with red fur and glowing yellow eyes.
