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.

Hiya, god pals! I'll be playing your friendly, neighborhood smith goddess. Need an awesome sword to rend the heavens asunder? Ormelir's got you covered*.

*Unless she: isn't paying attention, is getting chewed on by a monster the size of Australia, got hopelessly lost in another dimension, is being held captive by an ancient horror, doesn't want what you're willing to trade, or is teaching the giants to love.

Hello fellow gods, Elios is also a creation god in the neighborhood, though less forge god and more primal creation of creatures, sweeping vistas and sprawling cities rather than of armaments and tools, so Elios and Ormelir will likely be friendly peers rather than bitter rivals. But Elios is a pretty laid back god in general.

Looking forward to getting the chance to mingle with everyone and take part in some divine endeavors!

Greetings,

I am currently working on the final selection of the last Gods (have 6 applicants but will only accept a maximum of 3 more for now). I should have the final tally up by tomorrow if all goes well and we can then start the campaign.

I have to say the DOMAIN choices made was surprising. Some of the more "obvious" choices were not chosen AT ALL by any of the applicants. This will make for a fun game :)

I will be putting up the names of the NPC Gods tomorrow. Note, as well, that descriptions of each of them will be put up later on as well.

They can be interacted with at any time in the PUBLIC REALM thread (in the HALLS... you will understand once you are given access to that thread).

And thus we are starting :)

The three currently completed/approved deities can start posting. I am finishing the final selection of the 4th and final God for the start of the campaign and will be making the final decision for this hopefully by tonight.

Once I see how the game is going I may add 1-2 more Gods into the mix to bring a total of 5-6 players within the campaign itself.

I have also put up a list of the other NPC Gods. They may be interacted with by yourselves, or not. It is upto you :) They will be developing their own realms etc as the campaign progresses.


Enjoy everyone!

Hello, Yepa, welcome to the game! (If you could kindly inform snow not to fall on the streets then I would be very appreciative)

The opening threads look great, I'm very excited to wade into things and start exploring this new universe, which already seems to be full of secrets to uncover!

Thank you to all for taking part in this. Remember that the mechanics are a little fluid as we fine tune the various points of it all. I am taking from the base system I was shown and incorporating my own personal touch to it as well as influences from other systems I have used in the past. Through your actions I will adapt accordingly. Suggestions are always appreciated but in a tactful manner please (my fragile ego cannot take the pounding from the Gods for too long).

That said, the universe awaits :)

NPC Gods were updated with descriptions. That thread will have updated for their "feats" as they accomplish them, updated as they happen.

I'll probably remember to get around to it...maybe...eventually.  If I feel like it.

Re: OOC - General Banter

Languages were added. Each of you may speak with each other and understand each other. As well, you all can communicate in the language of your Chosen to them.

As you learn more languages, these will be added as new skills and you will be given access to the Private Group of that language.

Re: OOC - General Banter

Just to be sure everyone knows, as you may not have noticed in your character sheet:

Each of you has 1000 of your Chosen. They were created moments after you were. This population will shrink and grow based on your actions. Figure that your current mix is equal to 50% male and 50% female (no children) (unless your race specifies other ways of procreation)

As time goes on, children will be born etc etc
