OOC - General Banter
Based on some of the questions posed during the initial RTJ's, I will post certain information here for all to see while I finish with the creation/selection of players.
============================================
Will their be interaction between the Gods?
Yes. While A lot of the game play, especially on your own realms, will be SOLO, you may communicate with the others Gods in the HALLS OF CALMORIN in the CALMORIN thread (which will be available to you once in the game). There you may decide to venture out into CALMORIN to explore others realms and worlds. All this will be upto you.
Is their a grand story line or is it simply free form banter?
There is a grand story line. It will be revealed over time as you explore your own realms and the realms beyond. I will not go into more detail than that for now.
There will also be smaller story lines, based on various realms being explored and then content will develop as well based on your own interactions. I like to work with consequences, meaning that an action has consequence, sometimes minor or major, in the short or long term. You will have to deal with the consequences of your, and others, actions.
Do we all have to get along as gods?
Nope. You may ignore the others gods or become best of friends. You can backstab them or simply try and kill them to take their divinity.
So please be aware: PvP is accepted (and in some cases expected, I guess). Of course, killing a God does have consequences in your dealings with the OTHER Gods (see note above :) ). So when dealing with others gods, keep that in the back of your mind.
Will we have access to read the threads that others Gods are in and do we know what is happening in realms we don't own?
No. You will be given access to threads of the realms as you enter them and explore them. So that you may go back on the information you have visited, this will be kept as access for you. You can return to them as well and thus continue on in the same thread and so on. If two gods (or more) join up , a joint thread will be created for them on that realm.
Are there more rules/mechanics we can read up on?
No. The goal is to have you EXPLORE the system as well. I am, myself, adjusting certain aspects of the game mechanics to my liking as well . The goal is to create a balances game mechanic (which it already is, for the most part, but I like the flexibility of it all).
How developed are our, and other, races?
Your races are starting out as newly created, so basically stone age technology. As you work with them they will develop, either through your direct influence or on their own. These are your Chosen people and thus will be their to aid you achieve greatness. Do not care about them, and they will develop slowly, deal with them in a more personal way and they may develop faster, or not.
As for the other realms/worlds not controlled by "Gods" that have just awoken, these vary. Some are more advanced, some are simply different. As you explore, so will you learn what they are.
What WORLD, in terms of Universe Base, are you using for the Gods and realms?
I will be using influences from many "genres" and would rather keep the intricate details of it all close to the chest. I like to create, but also sometimes use the influence or ideas of one to help develop another, so if you recognize a name or place, great, but don't put to much stock in that.
