Well, I might be insane for trying this, but here goes nothing: New Godhood! Same rules as the last one (here, for those who haven't played before), with a couple minor/major changes:

1. I'll be taking three types of players:
Gods: Pretty simple. Play a god, using Acts to change the world. No different from the past games. I'll take up to 8.
Heroes: Smaller-scale than gods, but more direct. Heroes have "Heroics" instead of Acts, but beyond that the gameplay is similar. Spend Heroics to pull off otherwise impossible stunts, and shape the world on a smaller scale than gods. Heroes are mortal, but heroism is a universal constant: If a hero is to die, be it of old age or in combat, the player may then play on as the hero's next incarnation, or perhaps even the same hero reborn, memories and all(though that requires a bit of divine help). I'll take up to 5.
Co-GMs: While I'm pretty confident in my ability to keep the game organized/running as long as player interest remains(Though there might be the occasional hiatus due to school), I'm not much of a writer. I can plan events, keep things running, all that... but if anyone wants the awesome end-of-turn posts the last games had, I'll need some help. No NEED for one of these, but it would be nice to split up the work a bit. And would lead to more awesome narration.

2. Gods receive 5 starting acts, and 3 starting spheres. (one major sphere, two minor ones). Heroes meanwhile get 5 starting Heroics, and 3 specializations(Pretty much the same as spheres, just smaller scale. "fighting", "acrobatics", or "diplomacy" would count for example.)

3. The world is a bit more advanced this time around. This universe's overgod waited until mankind reached something resembling our middle ages before creating the other gods. On the first turn, each god gets to define a single fantastic creature or race that is part of the world, while the heroes may each define the nation their hero is from. (New nations/creatures may be formed after this. But that will take time and Acts. This is just to let everyone work together to give a quick sketch of what the world is like.)

I'm gonna throw a little question mark over this. Isn't time a GM thing?

[Johnfalcon99977]

Its a godly aspect. Nowhere does it say I can't take it. And no one has taken it yet.

If your jealous, then you should have thought of it first.

[Shootandrun]

Reserving a spot, I'll make a sheet soon. And I'll be a hero, we'll need at least one.

[Ardas]

Not jealous. If i wanted it I would have taken it. But i think that time in itself is a bit iffy and OP thing to have as a power, unless you are able to play it properly.

[Lordinquisitor]

We could really use a God of War or a God of Death.. But nah, no one wants to play an Hero? Pff..
