DISCLAIMER: This is a
very casual god game that doesn't really fall under the regular genre of pantheon-based god games in FG&R. It's not a pioneer by any means - I just want to prevent any disappointment by people wanting a new god game of the same style as the more "build-a-world"-type ones.
Do you know about that myth? Where gods are created through the true need of a people? Well, it's only partially true. Really, a god is created by pure chance. When aspects in the heavens interfere in just the right way, a god is created. Sure, new gods are drawn towards where they are most needed, but the creation of a god is mere coincidence. Sometimes, multiple gods can be created in the same period of time, and very rarely, a plethora of new gods are unleashed into the heavens and the earth below. An event of this magnitude will almost always signal the start of a new era.
ExplanationGodly Beginnings is a casual 5-player god game. The gameplay is mostly inspired by that of "You are a New God" (though I can't even hope to replicate that FG's sheer quality). By that I mean the players start off weak, with a limited scope. They have the goal of gathering more followers and more prayers for divine mana.
Divine Mana is the only "currency" in this FG, and is used for just about everything that one would want to do.
More followers means more prayers means more mana means more power and scope.
The setting is fairly standard fantasy. Remember: This is a simple game. It's not "do whatever you want" simple, but you're not going to be getting in-depth conflicts and characters. I may accept more or less than 5 (+/- 1), but 5 is about what I'm going for. Once again: Simple game where you start off very weak.

Name: gohgahfeadkijidigifexasdegfgefeisiex
Realm: Obsession & Confusion "and anything that combines the two"
Calling: An exceptionally eccentric university cross-discipline enchantment department(C.D.E.D.) and their array of forgotten attempts at "the ultimate spell that nobody thought of" in various stages of completion, dubious cacophonies of enchantments leaking into one another with largely-incompatible elements, stray automatons whose function and commands have been lost to the ages and perennial projects that have been assembled by hundreds of hands over decades... They have long worshipped the deliberate malevolence inherent in what ought to be random occurrences, only recently has an actual will manifested, and I am not so much malevolent, but it is just that the methodical approach is so abysmally dull...
