Flat Earth

Not all gods are blessed with endless expanses of space to ply their trade or blank universes far from all other forms of creation. And neither do all of them have the luxury of omnipotence bequeathed to them by birth. You should know, what with not possessing either.

What you do have, though, fresh off out of your parents' pantheon, is a pretty sweet plane of existence in a nice corner of the multiverse. 81 whole square meters (plus you managed to negotiate a whole 3 meters of height) isn't too bad for someone with your supply of divine power. The Master of the Universe does confiscate all your natural influx, of course, but the location's good, and the plane, while currently lacking in any distinct features, is pretty promising. You could see yourself growing as a god in here. Probably not raising a pantheon, mind. You'd like something further away from the major multiversal pathways and all the existential noise.

But that's all in the future, of course. Right now you're standing in an empty plane, filled to near-bursting with your stockpiled divinity even after the somewhat exorbitant amount of power you needed to shoot into the Master of the Universe for some reason (he did promise to give it back if you left and didn't cock things up in your plane too badly). And for the first time in your lifetime that has been spent in carefully crafted universes you feel important! A whole plane all to yourself. Most gods your age should only be so lucky.

Spoiler: What is this? (click to show/hide)

This is a perhaps sillier god game than usual where you operate on a cozy, well-kept plane in a comfortable multiversal location, creating a realm worthy of the name "paradise". Or at least what you would consider paradise. Unleash your creative muse! Visit other planes! Contract your work to other multiverses to earn much-needed divine inspiration! Probably do other things as well!

Spoiler: Character Sheet (click to show/hide)

Name: whatever you put down as your name in the agreement with the Master of the Universe. Doesn't have to be the one you were given. Gods often have complicated relationships with their parents.

Description: when writing your consort finding profile (you are a busy god, after all, and it's just so convenient to use the aether for this kind of thing), what did you put down?

Plane Identifier: the Master of the Universe has decreed a particular order of planes. There are four layers (conveniently labeled 1-4) with four possible 5th-dimensional location identifiers (conveniently abbreviated A, B, C and D). There is also the Apex Layer, where the Master of the Universe lives, and the Base Layer, which is where the Lady of Portals lives and also where you check first if gravity turns off unexpectedly or something similar happens.

Divine Power: you start with 12 points, and these do not regenerate on their own due to your agreement with the Master. You can regain them in other ways, however.

Integrity: start with 5/5 unless stated otherwise. You dissolve if you reach 0/5. These points are lost through not meeting your godly needs, running into extradimensional hazards and, of course, getting the tar beaten out of you. They can be regained through spending two points of divine power per one point of integrity.

Allied Divinities: surely you didn't hate every other divinity you ever met. Put down the full name of one that you have at least a perceived mutual friendship with. Or if that's not your thing, start with 3 more divine power instead.

Parents: you should have at least one, however lacking in anthropomorphism they may be. If you don't, or they have died in the aeons since your birth, start with 4/4 Integrity. If you have more than three, start with 2 more points of divine power.

Remember, sheets are first-come, first-served.

Spoiler: Explanation of Divinity (click to show/hide)

Being a god, you wield unlimited powers of creation! Or you would, anyway, were it not for certain agreements made or more powerful gods in your vicinity. Rather conveniently your power can be parceled out in little bits, called points of divine power. You have 12-17 to start with. You gain more by:

• being admired (by gods),
• being worshiped (by mortals),
• being paid (by gods).

These points can be spent on enacting changes (1 point per change), regaining Integrity (2 points per point of Integrity) or paying other gods to do work for you (1-10 points per service, depending on location, time frame, expected quality and other specifics). All supernatural acts of creation require a d6 roll, but you can also use divine power on lesser tasks (ones that you could do with a roll and no divine power required) to ensure success.

As a god, you also have needs. These crop up every 6 turns in the Maintenance Round, where you pack it in for some good times in your plane and recharge your godly batteries.

• Your communication needs are taken care of by the Aetherpane, which lets you look into the aether, speak to other gods without going to their planes and check out their public postings. This needs to be kept working.
• Your energy needs are taken care of by the Reliquary, where you keep interesting things you intend to consume to refresh your divinity. This needs to be kept stocked with things you find, "borrow" or purchase. Your own creations are unsuitable for this.
• Your brooding needs are taken care of by the Throne. This is a very personal artifact usually kept in a separate planar compartment so as to minimize disturbance. This needs to be kept spotless.

You can ignore one of these needs for one Maintenance Round, but if that same need isn't met the next round, you lose 1 Integrity. If at any maintenance round you cannot meet 2 or more needs, you lose 1 Integrity.

As for actions, lesser mortals are known for their inability to perform more than one action without vastly diminished quality of performance. As a god, you can do three at a time even when physically improbable. Or sacrifice one of your actions for a +1 on the roll of another, or both to have a +2 for one action. Rather importantly, you as a god find no difficulty in ordering others around, and thus hiring help or bossing around mortals does not cost an action (though it may involve a roll).

[Harry Baldman]

Name: Talgoek

This one works!

Name: Tamos

You don't actually need to ally Talgoek back, she'll still count as an ally regardless.

Is this one good?

Yes.

Name: Xenronack

Also works!

Name: Amaranta

And that's five, excellent.

Name: Atian The Elephantman God

You need at least 4 (more than 3) parents to get 2 extra points, and you can only have one allied divinity. Otherwise this works.

By the way, waitlisters and watchers will be able to provide ideas for job postings via PM, in a format that will become clear when those come into play.

[Pancaek]

You don't actually need to ally Talgoek back, she'll still count as an ally regardless.

Oh. I'll leave it like that, might get interesting. Can only player gods be allied, or will we meet npc's as well?

[Atian the Elephantman God]

Edited it

I have one of Tiamat from the Forgotten Realms Universe as my Allie so...

[Harry Baldman]

The Allied Divinities are mostly there as divine buddies you can count on and probably invite to your plane once it becomes presentable. The idea is that they're NPCs that like you initially, which can be used for a variety of benefits. The main benefit to using PCs for this is that the connection goes both ways.

Put me in NOT YET GOD

Hmm, so will we be able to meet more of these as we progress through the game? Since you mentioned you can only start with one. They seem kinda important.
