    Show
    Any civilization started within 1 tile of a river or similar large body of water costs 2 points less to create.

    Two or more deities can choose to pool their points, splitting the point difference for a power.

    The Shape Land/Shape Climate power affects up to 9 tiles, but you do not have to affect 9 tiles. The tiles do not have to be adjacent, but the same type of terrain/climate must be created in the tiles with one action. i.e. You could create a sea in tile (6, D) and tile (14, V) as part of the same action, because you are creating seas in both. However, you cannot create a sea tile in (6, D) and a forest tile in (14, V) as part of the same action, because those are two different terrain types.

    Our World, Unnamed


    Spoiler: History of our World
    Show
    Spoiler: Before 1st Age
    Show
    The cosmos was ruled by eldritch monstrosities, who reigned in chaos and darkness. The Pantheon of the Nine overthrew these creatures and began the process of creation, bringing order to the unordered infinity and each beginning to shape it according to their preference. An orb coalesced, made out of the energies of each of the gods, and took form, set in orbit around a sun. A perfect pearl begging to be molded, oceans of potential swirling about under the eyes of the Nine. From the roiling, chaotic waters rose the land, unadorned and blank - a perfect canvas on which to create. And from here - the First Age begins.

    Spoiler: 1st Age

    On the equator and around the primary axis, Vornyar looks at the newly formed earth. With a single breath he releases the energy of the tumbling void. The earth churns, and soon seeds break through the earth rising high above the figures standing there. Years seem to pass in the span of seconds as quick young trees rise and fall. Ancient redwoods, oaks and yews rising permenantly in their place. For thousands of miles in each direction this old growth forest stands a testament to the power of life.

    Shape land to create the Godswood, am old growth forest from N19 to P21.

    Indeed. Vornyar says in a booming voice, his roughly gnarled barklike face releasing a deep melodic voice. Let us make this a world unending, a world to see a thousand cycles.

    With a serpentine hiss, Vermis breathes over the land. To step on another's toes so soon would be a trespass, if anything, but once she had her own foothold in the world, it could slowly become hers, eons of rot spilling out from the epicenter of her power. But, where would that power be? The newly formed Godwood was too... crisp. Too clean. It was not her sort of place at all. So- she would make her own.

    "Here,"
    hisses off of her sibilant tongue, as she stakes her claim to the planet with a hot, fetid marsh. Glancing at her siblings, she bares her teeth in a pointed smile. "A mire, from which will spring my will."

    "The earth shall provide my tools"

    A fissure appears in the ground before Illorious' feet. From it, orbs of molten ore and glittering, spherical jewels rise up. The materials hover around as Illorious shapes them, forming a finely crafted, jewel-studded hammer.

    [roll2d6] Rolled 8.

    "Let the craftwork of life permeate the woods"

    Illorious swings the hammer in a circle, ending with it pointed at the sky above Godswood. A thin bolt of electricity snakes from the hammer into the heavens. Soon after, gray storm clouds swirl around the point where the bolt hit.

    Spend 2 points to shape climate on Godswood (N19 to P21), creating a stormy, rainy area.

    Enmegar looks over the new land and raging seas, and nods in satisfaction. "This will be a world of tempests--let those strong enough to withstand them survive."

    Starting power: (2d6)[7]

    Pointing his spear out over the land, he lifts up a cluster of mountains near the middle of the continent. The waters pool in the heights and begin running down toward the sea. "These shall be the Mountains of the Moon, a high place where mortals can be close to the moon which controls the tides. It will be a reminder of my power for those far from the sea."

    Mountains in tiles 24-26, S-U, for one shape land action. Creating a lake in 25 T, and a river running through 24 U, 24 V, 23 V, 22 V, 22 W, 21 W, 21 X, 21 Y for a second.

    Final power 7-6 = 1 +1 for saving 5 or fewer

    The first morning of the world found Rin asleep alongside the ocean, resting her feet in the sand. Or, so it had been, until poison crept into creation, as the earth rotted and fouled below her, stirring the goddess from her dreams. Groggy and still not entirely awake, Rin was tumbled about as the snarling, tangled vines and throny roots of the marshland spread around her, jostling her about, even bumping her head a few times till she settled into a more stable bit of land while the tumultuous energies of creation and destruction waged to shape this portion of the world. "Oh no, did I oversleep?" She said, pulling a few bits of twigs from her hair. She fumbled about for her walking stick, which accompanied her wherever she traveled, and scrambled through the newly birthed wetlands, till she found their maker at the heart of it. "Vee, I asked you to wake me before everyone started, you promised you would!" She said, pouting with annoyance. "I didn't want to miss the first sunrise. but now it's passed already"

    Out of the ocean, Kel'adran emerges. His appearance is that of a dark blue lobster, but instead of a head there is a large purple eye surrounded by a mass of maroon tentacles. Lurching over the plain dirt of the new world, he thought of how to add to it. "How boring and plain this world is. It seems the others have started to change that, so I must do my part as well." Kel'adran channeled his divine power and used it to create a massive lake, seemingly without bottom. In the center of the lake an island emerged. He shrouds the lake is a cover of cool fog. The fog is strongest during the night time and wanes in intensity under sunlight. On the island Kel'adran places a pine forest. Still feeling a creative spark, he plods onward. Reaching the shore on the other side, he places more pines along the coast. Feeling tired from all of the work he settles into the sea and watches the pines sway in the wind.

    Kel'adran creates a incredibly deep freshwater lake called the eye of the abyss,
    and a pine forest called Thousand Spines

    That sounds like a neat idea. Kel'adran was an eldritch horror, but there was something strange about him. He did not like his siblings or the chaos they created, so he helped the gods defeat them and became a god himself.

    In the appearance of a tall fair-skinned man with long black hair, Araekor silently stands by as he watches the other gods shape the world. He was displeased that there wasn't a continent that he could claim as his own, that he had to share it with the other gods. But he didn't show it on his face. At least, he knows that there will be something that will be of his own creation.

    And I'll save the 2 leftover points.

    Glancing at Kel'adran again, Illorious draws up more bubbles of molten stone and metal from the earth. Shaping them into a rough, lobster-like form, he threads tiny wire tentacles and finally adds a fist-sized amethyst as an eye. Illorious sprouts large brown-feathered wings and glides over to the beach, where he dips his creation in the water to cool it. He then hands it to Kel'adran. It's a tiny statue, made of copper lacquered dark blue, of Kel'adran's likeness, with tiny, fine details.

    Rin was irked by her sisters needling comments, and did nothing to hide it. "I may be smaller than you, but I'm still your older sister you know." To any onlooker, Rin's claim was dubious, regardless of the truth. By any measure one cared to use, the scarred deity appeared less mature than her snake haired sibling.

    Rin refused to let such a minor point get her down, not when today was THE day. The start of a new world, of endless possibilities. She wanted to run as fast as her legs would carry her, to see over every horizon as the first sentences of history were recorded. It would be amazing, she had no doubt there. With her godly senses, she was already aware of greater stirrings, primordial energies giving birth to the world that was yet to be. It was a good day.

    Vermis's question drew Rin back to the here and now. She took one look around and then smiled, nodding "Of course I do, it's amazing!" Had anyone else said it, you would be forgiven for believing that it was simply an attempt to flatter or appease the dark mistress who had spawned such a quagmire. Rin, though, showed true sincerity. "I saw a green frog a league north of here, hiding under a gnarled stump. It jumped so high I thought it could fly. In these twisted and sunken mire, you could wander for days and still be surprised by new mysteries." Rin waved her walking stick overhead, briefly hiding the sun and shrouding the two in night. The stars shone overhead. "And its peaceful here as well, the treetops are like a thousand picture frames for the night sky."

    Reaching up, Rin plucked a handful of stars out of the sky and gently breathed a spark of life into them. The stars stirred and became tiny winged insects:Fireflies that twinkled with a somber radiance, their glow illuminated Rin's face as she smiled.

    Letting daylight return, Rin looked up at Vermis, and nodded again "Yes, I like what you have made. No one else could have done this, and the world is all the richer for it"

    Not spending points yet, everything above was just Cosmetic stuff for atmosphere. Unless the creation of fireflies costs a point.

    Flattery did not tend to get one very far with Vermis. As it was, sincere compliments were hit-or-miss, as well. The Goddess of Maddess was unpredictable in that way, and she thought, briefly, about transforming her quagmire into a desert just to spite Rin's words. But she felt the pull on her power and knew that, should she actually decide to do that, it would have to wait. As it was, she had bigger plans for the Throat, and - as it was - today was a good day. Her smile became much less pointed, as she gestured for Rin to walk at her side. "Walk with me," she said, command more than request. "And tell me what you call these star-sparks of yours. And- tell me your plans for this world, tiny sister." She could feign interest just fine, and yet - she was actually interested. And she wanted to see what the other gods had made. Therefore, she wandered above the mire once more, taking in the sights of new mountains and trees already filling the world, and the figures gathered in the planes above to witness the world take shape.

    If you don't have a group that supports you - if you instead have a group that judges you - find a different group, trust me. It's not worth your life to waste it on a bunch of hyenas who serve no value to you aside from keeping you down. Everyone deserves to have a say at the table regardless of how they do it.

    When a turn passes, should I do anything to mark the passage of time? Have the forests expand, rivers/oceans erode more land, erode the mountains to hills over several turns, etc? Or shall I just leave it alone and allow the gods to do all the work while the world holds still for them?

    I'd say the latter, to just leave it alone and let the gods do all the work.

    Out- I am actually would like that, it will make the world feel more real.
    Also, if it's ok, maybe you should mark when a turn "era"? has passed.

    If Rin took issue with the command, or if she even noticed it was meant as a command at all, she made no fuss about it. She was happy to walk along the world of the first day, and rare is a long walk that is not made better by company along the road.

    "The second question is easier answered than the first" Rin began, ducking under a branch as they moved along, leaving the Throat behind. "I call them fireflies. They aren't much, really. Just a little spark in the darkness. You see, I think one day there will be a great many beings upon this world. Oh how I look forward to meeting them. And at night, they'll look up at the sky and see the immensity of all things. And if they are very, very lucky...I think such beings will want to reach up the heavens above." She gave a small chuckle "Perhaps some will even manage...though most I suspect will not". Her smile faded momentarily. It was not a sad expression that covered her face, but one of acknowledgement. "But even so, I think those that are yet to come will surprise even you, Vee. And I wanted them to know that I think they'll make it all the way to the end, if they decide to go for it." Pausing a moment, Rin looked at her sister. It wasn't often that the hope-bringer looked back at the past. By its nature, and in turn by hers, to Hope was to look forward. "I suppose, if I were to be honest as to what I want for this world, I could only answer that I want it to be a testament that thing can always change, they can always get better. Even things like you"

    Looking out over creation, Rin saw upon the horizon a great forest to the south, and a mountain which rose up to greet the rising sun in the east. "Shall we journey that way then, to visit with the others?"

    I don't understand what this 'time' and 'erosion' things you describe are. Clearly you are mistaken. That's part of an outdated notion, what did they call it...physics? Everyone knows reality only progresses due to the will of the gods. If they want a river to turn a flat bit of land into a canyon, then they'll do it themselves. Its not for the river to decide.

    You right!

    We are just waiting on Wexon right now, before advancing to the next turn. If we don't hear from them in a few hours, though, I suppose we could roll for them, say that their god is sleeping still, and just mark the points he has? Sort of makes sense in a way, that the God of Civilization isn't here yet.

    (2d6)[9] Unneeded. Wish it was mine, tho.


    Vermis feels a frown tug at her lips when Rin mentions that 'even things like you change,' but the expression lasts only a moment. The other goddess is right, after all. To stay stagnant is boring. Whether or not things change 'for the better,' that is none of her concern. But change should always happen. After all - if things didn't change, they wouldn't be here right now, would they?

    The gorgon-goddess gives Rin a nod, and travels with her towards the ones, she supposes, are their brothers. Resting two of her six clawed hands on her left hip, one up under her chin, and one on Rin's shoulder, the remaining two gesture to the world around them. "Good morning, brothers. I see you have been busy."

    How do you roll for points and use them in the same post? I thought edits disable rolls.

    You don't. There is no way to roll a dice in a post such that you will know the outcome of that roll before you post. The better option is either 1. Just post a short blurb with a roll, then after seeing the outcome go back and edit the post you just made to account for your actions based on the outcome, or do your roll and post in seperate posts. Thats why I didn't take any action in my first post, I wanted to see the outcome of my roll. Admittedly, after rolling badly, I'm now just electing to save points for next round in the hopes of doing better.

    Rin gave a respectful nod of the head, not quite a full bow, but still enough to show some reverence towards her peers. "Hail and well met". Admittedly, it was more direted at Illorious than at the Abyss-Keeper. To say that Rin distrusted him would be unfair, she believed he was not like the beings they'd battled before the dawn of the first day. But to say there were no similarities would also be unfair, and her injuries were still very fresh, flashing a momentary thrum of pain through her at the feel of his aura. Still, she'd endeavor to be polite.

    The compliment from the craftsman was enough to bring a blush of red to Rin's cheeks, and she was quick to answer "Those are mine, I'm glad you like them." She was equally quick to add "The storm you made, that was something truly impressive. The smell of rain over trees is the stuff that poetry is made for, I've no words to properly express it."

    Rin chanced another quick glance towards Kel'adran, and suppressed a shiver that wanted to creep down her spine. She would like to count him as a friend, but she couldn't lie that he made her uncomfortable.

    Eryth watched, an armored figure of perfect polygons, beholding as the other gods rose and shaped the world. He had no part in fighting over it, but he will shape it, guide it to perfection. Reaching out over the land, Eryth raised his hand as and two mountains rose from the ground, and he called, "Let me me bring order to this world!".

    "Look at us all!", Illorious chuckles. "A craftsman with a badger's head, a goddess of heroes, an Eldritch One, a dark lord, a reptilian wizard-god, a musician with the voice of a tree, a moon-loving storm-chaser, a mother of serpents, and now this...mysterious armored figure. Care to introduce yourself, brother?"

    Eryth turned his attention to the god who had addressed him. "Greetings, badger-headed one", he said. "It is I, Eryth, God of Order, Giver of Justice, Bringer of perfection, who will guide this world to a state perfectly aligned with the cosmos. And may I ask you introduce yourself, fellow?"

    Illorious gives a low bow. "I am Illorious the Craftsman. Not quite as lofty as some of our other godly titles, but it'll do. If you need any, ah, pieces of craftwork, do not hesitate to ask."
