The World has ended yet again. After 96% of the world was killed by a mysterious rapture, a portal has opened up and mysterious minor horrors have tumbled out. You have no followers and no powers right now. But that'll change eventually.

Rules!


Fear!
There is nothing to fear except fear itself
Fear is your ability to do things. There are two kinds of fear. The first kind is active fear. Active fear is the fear you use to do certain actions like creating monsters and infusing terrifying magic into the world. You can also gain fear by causing awe. You gain a certain amount of fear a turn. Fear is accumulated by having followers and horrors of your own. GDF (Gross Domestic Fear) Is that amount of fear spent a turn. The higher it gets, the more likely !!FUN STUFF!! is.

Actions!
Action is the foundational key to all success.
Certain actions cost fear. If you are trying to achieve a big project, then fear can be spent to do it over multiple turns.

Free Actions
  • Using powers
  • Talking and stuff
  • Inflicting horror on someone without a strong willpower
  • Using Magic
  • Teleporting (Less fear income when away from your followers)

Actions That cost points

Magic Systems
Infusing magic into the world will allow taught individuals to use horrifying magic. When magic is created, horrors must teach their followers how to use the magic. When a horror creates a magic system, other horrors must wait three turns until they can use that magic system for their own personal use.

There are currently no magic systems. It is rumored some have been created.

Monsters and Followers
Lets start with the easier one, followers. Followers are your regular bread and butter boring old humans. They are in awe of you and terrified of you. They are drawn to you by fear, and prey to you out of fear. However, when another horror exerts their fear over your followers, your followers may convert. You can assign followers jobs, and you can assign them to do your bidding. You can even imbue followers with power!

Monsters are your monsters that you create. They can be anything, from a mouse with that emits fear over anyone near, or an octopus that can fly and breath regular atmosphere. Monster can be modified with traits which lower or heighten their cost. (When minor horrors are created, they can be given traits) Monsters also exert fear, increasing your fear income. If you need me to price check a certain creation, just give me a description and a list of traits, and I will be happy to price check it.


Coorporation Benefits
2 Horrors: 95% cost
3 Horrors: 85% cost
4 Horrors: 70% cost
5 Horrors: 65% cost
6 Horrors: 60% cost
7 Horrors: 50% cost
8 Horrors: 35% cost
9 Horrors: 25% cost
10 Horrors: 10% cost


Combat of Horrors
Horror damage can be increased with fear. New Horrors have a 2 turn grace period where they can't be killed. If a horror is killed, They can be brought back to life by other gods giving the dead god their fear with a 3:1 conversion rate.

Increased GDF effects
At a certain point, hostile NPC horrors will start appearing. The more GDF, the more powerful these horrors will be. With more GDF, comes more powerful humans wanting to fight back, And more GDF will cause the world to be more chaotic and crazy.

God
A powerful endgame.


Secret Actions
Secret actions can be sent to me in the form of a PM. Secret actions cost 15% more.

Name: Sightblinder
Symbol: An empty eyesocket
Color: Black
Description: A massive matte black spider. It hates and fears the light, and desires to snuff out and consume it. Near invisible in darkness. Malicious poison constantly drips from its mandibles, poisoning the ground it walks upon.

Remind me, what's the ruling on resistances again? I remember we had some problems about that in the past.

Could you please be more specific? Is a weakness to gold fine? A weakness to sunlight? A weakness to seawater? A weakness to salt, A weakness to garlic?

A weakness to anything that would be near impossible for a mortal to get is where I'd draw the line.

So those are all fine? Okay.

I notice we don't get powers this time?

Trait Request: Darkness Generation: This creature will generate a large area of darkness around itself. Like several miles worth preferably.

"Consumes all light", "Absolute Darkness" levels preferably. Though maybe have that be the super version and give a second lesser just "moonless night" version for large scale darkness engineering.

EDIT: Rereading the old thread, I see I was fond of "precious metals in specific shapes" weaknesses. Are those fine still?
EDIT2: Possible to stack the Broodmother trait?

Precious metals in certain shapes are fine.

After rereading the traits, I am gonna change some because some of them are very powerful. Also Broodmother can't be stacked.

(1) You start forward with determination and certainty. You carry this determination with you right into the gaping crater that opens under your feet. You fall into a pit. The sounds of combat above dim, along with the light from the suns. In the quiet below, you hear some other noises instead.
