What was this game?

I recall seeing this being played on PbP a while back, but I can't seem to find any games of it right now. (Although this may just be my ineptitude with the Search feature)

If memory serves, the game revolved around the players basicly being Deities, and shaping the land to their liking. There was a sort of point system, and the players recieves a certain amount of points per turn, and these points determined the extent of which they could effect/affect(bleh) the map for that turn.

I don't remember much more, but it interested me, and I'm considering running something like it for an upcoming road trip.


Does anyone know what this is? If it's a published game, or just something someone decided to make up and play.

Sounds like a God Game. At least that's what I've seen them called. I've seen several rules sets, and from what I've seen the rules can be modified by whoever is running the game. They are pretty free form.

Sounds right, thanks,

does anyone have an example of one played out?

I believe there are a few taking place in Ongoing Games. The 'generic' name appears to be Lords of Creation (beyond the God Game genre).

Points, but no map, as far as I can tell, and a vague D&D chassis.

Perhaps you could mean Dawn of Worlds (http://www.clanwebsite.org/games/rpg/Dawn_of_Worlds_game_1_0Final.pdf)?

I think that's exactly what I mean. :smallsmile:

Thank you.
