Lords of Creation in the Playground

[alchemyprime]

The Revised Rules!

THE GOAL

The goal of Lords of Creation is to create a living, breathing campaign setting by playing a game in 36 short weeks. In this game, we play the gods of a world made by the mysterious Creator, and we become a small pantheon in our own right.

The administrator of this game, Alchemyprime, has planned a few large events to shape the world that is out of the hands of the deities, but that they can react to. By role-playing the gods of the world, we hope to make the world and it’s history feel just as organic as that of the real worlds.

Of course, assuming that the real world had elves and +5 Vorpal Greatswords…



CREATING A GOD

At this point, new gods need to create an application

You start with

A Godly Name (no god's named McLovin!)
A Domain from the Available list unless a deity is willing to give up his domain to you.
One Domain pertinent to you alignment.
A portfolio element somehow related to that domain
A holy (or UnHoly) symbol
An alignment
A favored weapon
Divine Rank 6 (or lower. If you want to walk among mortals, it must be 0 to 5. If a deity is sponsoring you with one of his/her domains, they decide what rank you start at because they are spending their Action Points on making your character exist in game.)
Class levels equal to (16 + (2*DR))


When a Domain is Available, it’s up for grabs. If 1 deity has it, it is taken. If 2 have it, it is contested.

A new deity may only take an Available domain that no one has laid claim to. Also, 3 players from the Council (Alchemyprime, Tialat, Faithless, Innis Cabal, Draken, Tsuuga, and Pyrefiend) must say that the new deity is allowed.

If the domain you wish for is

Not an alignment domain and
Taken (actually possessed by) or Claimed has points invested in) by another deity

Then that deity must create you as if making a secondary god for themselves to play.

If the domain is free, then you may create the deity, assuming that you gain the necessary votes.

If you are approved no posting until a new Thursday.

PLAY


You get an amount of Action Points each “Month” (really, a week in real time restting at 6pm Pacif Standard Time on Thursday, but it’s a month to the gods, and a grip of years to the mortals.)

The Castes of Gods
Hero-Gods (Divine Rank 0) get 1 Action Point a Month
Demigods (Divine Rank 1 through 5) get 2 Action Points a Month
Lessers (DR 6 through 10) get 3
Intermediates (DR 11-15) get 4
Greaters (DR 16-20) get 6
Overgods (DR 21+) get 10

Overgods are odd, because they have ascended past worshippers. Instead, when they spend points, they do so to further some other god's goals or to make it look like some other god did something.

Points roll over, to a max of 10 * your Divine Rank (meaning if you loose rank, you loose you Max points and possibly your caste goes down.)

You can spend points on the following activities.


1 Point Activities
Teach populous (like first teaching elves magic, or giving magic to a rival people of the elves such as goblins)
Nourish populous (Look! Mana from Heaven!)
Nourish land (Mm. Good corn harvest this year.)
Mold land (Not needed on a Divinely Morphic plane that isn’t your opposite alignment)
Pestilence (To harm a populous. Counters and can be countered by Nourish populous. Cannot kill off all of a creature, but can knock them down a few pegs.)


2 points
Create populous (look! Dragonborn!)
Create land (And God said “Let the be Hawaii!”)
Guide populous (Holy War!)
Create Organization (This is for making organizations such as from PHBII and for creating Prestige Classes.)
Create portal (Between planes. Or manifest zones, like in Eberron)
Gain Domain (Must have accomplished 3 actions related to domain and asked a referee if it is okay first. Also must have a portfolio element related to the domain (doesn’t count as an action). You also may use any of the spells from your domain as an at will SLA. To advance to Intermediate deity status, you must have at least 3 domains. To advance to Greater, you must have at least 5.)
Gain Portfolio Element (Must have for a domain. Also helps to flavor your deity. Why would the god of Water rain fire from the sky?)
Gain Level (Because deities need a lot of XP to level up)

3 point

Attack another god (Deific combat is explained in a lower section)
Begat god (Figure it out. Creates a deity of DR 1 + (1 for every 2 extra points spent, to a max of your DR –1)
Create Artifact (BAttle Artifact or Utility Artifact aka a MacGuffyn. This may seem pointless, but you can always make artifacts: you need to use your timer if you want to raise your Divine Rank.)
Create Avatar (to walk the planet or to be in more than one place at a time)
Create Plane (maybe as home or resource center)
Evolve Physically (usable once per caste (Demigod, Lesser god, Intermediate Deity, Greater Deity. Permanently increases Action Points by 1 each week.)
Gain Divine Combat Modifier (This ability helps you when in Divine Combat)
Gain Extra domain slot (Demigods have three slots, Lessers 4, Intermediates 5 and Greaters 7. This bumps that up by one, but all slots must be filled first. You get one extra slot for an alignment domain.)
Create concept (like positivity- but it would be good if it related to a domain. More than one concept can be related to any single domain. This is also a multipurpose power. This can be used to create a pantheon if more than one god pitches in a point (not everyone needs to pitch in though). It can be used to introduce a magic system or a new idea, ie. murder to a peaceful people. Create concept can also be used to introduce a class to the world.)

Once you have done a certain number of godly actions (2 for Hero-Gods, 3 for Demigods, 4 for Lesser Gods, 5 for Intermediate Gods, 7 for Greter Gods and 9 for Overgods), an extra 3 point action is available:
Raise Divine Rank (DR goes up by one. Once this power is used, you must do a number of actions before using it again, based on your caste.)



Please write point spending like this
(New Total= Old Total - Spendetures(what it was sent on))

EX
(0= 3AP - 3 (Create Concept:Grilled Cheese Mage))




DEIFIC COMBAT


Deific Combat is essentially a contest between Combat Ratings, or CR (… please, this is modified OGL, not d20... Don’t get angry…)

The person that spends the points to start the combat is the Aggressor. The defender is the one attacked. Allies are anyone else in the combat. Allies spend 2 AP to enter combat. Defenders spend 0 AP. Agressors spend 3 AP.

Your CR is equal to:
Your Divine Rank + The number of battle artifacts you have *.5 + 1 for every 5 points of Base Attack Bonus you have + Your Divine Class Abilities + Your Divine Combat Modifiers

So a let’s look at Tanner for a minute
DR 8
Wizard 16/Psion 16
Artifacts: 42
Divine Combat Modifiers: Undead Hatred, Touch of Life

What does this all mean?
His DR is 8. He has one Artifact. So far, his CR is 8.5 (yes, fractions count!)
His BAB would be 16. So he gets an extra 3 to his CR (11.5).
His Divine Class Abilities are based off of having 16 levels in Wizard (a caster class) and Psion (another caster class). Casters may add half their CL if they give up all spell casting except domains for a week. So he can improve his CR from 11.5 to 27.5, but if he enters another deific combat that week, he can’t do that at again.
Also, dependant on your caste, you get a number of Divine Combat Modifiers. Tanner has: Undead Hatred (against a god of Death, Undeath or a type of Undead, he gains +2 to CR) and Touch of Life (if Tanner did not initiate the combat, he gains +2 to CR.)

Now, All Deific Combats must be Roleplayed. This is for everyone’s entertainment.
If Tanner and Ooulzoth fight, I don’t want to read
Tanner Wins.
I want to read
Tanner extended his index finger and a beam of green light issued forth. The spell, one of his signatures, augmented by all of his arcane might, his psionic potential and his divine power, burnt forth through the god of Ooze and Slime.
“That’s it Ooulzoth. I think I knocked you down a few pegs.”
(OOC: I choose DR reduction as Ooulzoth’s Injury.)

Combat takes up of 3 rounds. It’s that round’s CR + 2d6 versus their CR + 2d6
If a combat is won, the winner may choose the loser’s Injury.

Every round of combat, the winner gets 1 AP to spend on Mold Land.


ALLIES

If a deity is in combat, another deity may come to their aid.
Add the following to the CR of the combatant you are aiding:
Your DR*.5
Your artifacts * .5
Any Aid abilities and Hatreds that apply.
It takes 2 AP to help unless you have at least 1 Aid.
You can help for free, but you can only add the points from Aid abilities.


DIVINE CLASS ABILITIES


Warriors
Warriors also gain an extra Divine Combat Modifer for every 10 levels.
Any class with a full BAB is a warrior class (ie. Barbarian, Fighter, Paladin)

Strikers
Strikers are classes that his hard and hit fast, and have a ¾ BAB.
Ie. Rogues, Monks, Bards.
Strikers gain a bonus equal to half their striker level when they initiate the Conflict.
So if the god of theives started a combat, he could add half of any striker levels he had to his CR.
If you have at least 5 levels in any striker class, you gain an extra Aid Modifier. You only get one, even if you have more than 5 levels in two striker classes.

Casters
Casters are any class that is not Incarnum, Binding or Divine based and has casting or manifesting up to 9th. (Truenamers and Artificers are also in here, as exceptions to the rule.)
Ie. Shadowcasters, wizards, psions, truenamers, wu jen.
Each caster class counts separeately, but you can use them together. So a Sorcerer 5/Wizard 5/Psion 5/Truenamer 5 can use each of their classes separately in different rounds or together in one.
Casters may add ½ their Caster Levels to their CR if they give up the ability to use spells for the rest of the Divine Month. They can use this once per round per class.
Think of the example of Tanner above.

Divinities
Divine casters, meld shapers and binders all have a decent idea of how the divinity of the world works. And so, they gain Divine Control.
When they lose a combat, they may make a Divine Rank check, with a +1 bonus for every 5 divinity levels they posses.
This is 1d20 + Divine Rank + (Divinity Level / 5).
This is opposed by the winner’s Divine Rank check, with the same bonuses if they have divinity levels.
If the Divinity that lost the conflict wins the check, they choose thier Divine Injury instead of the winner doing so.

Divinities also may add an additional +1 per 5 levels to their allies when aiding. This counts as 1 Aid ability (Divinity).



DIVINE COMBAT MODIFIERS


Hatred: Choose something you hate, such as a concept, an element or a creature type. When fighting a deity of what you hate, you gain a +2 bonus to your CR. This must be a REASONABLE hatred. The suffix for a Hatred ability is {H}. Hatreds are always active. Hatred stacks with it self, and you can have multiples of the same hatred (such as Undead Hatred or Fire Hatred.) Hatreds stack with each other as well (so if you have Fir Hatred and Undead Hatred... well... you'll be cool against the God of Flaming Zombies...)

Defensive Ability: Name this ability based off of a defensive portfolio element or domain you possess. So a god of life would call this “Touch of Life” while a god of protection may call it “Divine Sheild”. If you do not initiate the conflict, you gain a +2 to CR. The suffix for a Defensive Ability is {D}. You may only use a defensive for 1 round. So you can use Touch of Life in Round 1, but you’d need to use another in Rounds 2 and 3.

Combat Ability: Name this ability something, like Divine Rage or Divine Strike. If you choose to use this ability, a once a week ability, you gain a +1 to your CR. The suffix for Combat Abilities are {C}. This ability lasts for all 3 rounds.

Aid Ability: A Helpful Ability adds to the amount you can Aid another deity in a conflict. For every Aid ability you have, like “Divine Music” or “Holy Aura”, add +2 to their CR when being an Ally. Aid abilities are followed by an {A}.
You can use help any ally without spending the Action Points to enter the combat, but you can only add points from your Aid abilities.
If you are the Defender in the combat, your own {A}s add 1 to your CR.

Offensive Ability: Name this ability something such as “First Strike” or “Divine Wind” or something cool. Add +2 to your CR when you initiate a conflict. All Offensive Abilities are followed by an {O}. You may only use an Offensive Ability for 1 round.


You gain DCMs based on your caste.
Herogods don’t have any except from class levels.
Demigods gain 1 for free.
Lesser deities gain 2 for free.
Intermediate deities have 3 for free.
Greater Deities have 5.
Overdeities have 7.

These numbers do not stack!


INJURIES

Choose one when you win!


A 1 point reduction in the loser’s DR.
The winner gains one of the loser’s portfolio elements. Any domains related on it are lost if the loser does not gain a new element to accompany them within two Months.
The winner may instantly spend the points required to share one portfolio element with the loser and Contest one of their domains.
If the combatants had a contested domain, the winner can officially claim the domain as his/her own. So if Nessius and Xam both had Water and Nessius beat Xam, Nessius could be the sole keeper of the Water domain.
Steal artifact and reform it (if you want...)
Break an artifact from loser and gain 1 AP.
Reduce enemies AP by 2d6. If they don't have enough, they loose half of their weekly AP until the debt is paid off.

You can role-play what the mortals are doing in your flock only. However, remember, the power level won’t be astronomical.

Until year 2, no having a mortal over what would be appropriate for a level 9 character unless a god uses guide populous on them specifically.
Between year 2 and 3, no mortals over level 18.
And in year 3… keep epic mortals to a minimum, please. I don't want more than a few Elminster calibur guys.

Now a year is, of course, 12 of our weeks. This will last a long time. GO look at the original at gleemax to get an idea of how long this lasted. I joined halfway through year two and played for a good 5 real months.

Oh, and if you need to leave for a while, that’s fine. Gods disappear in pantheons all the time.

This is a game to make a full campaign setting, with a full mythos, timeline, feel and cultures. I hope everyone is in it to win it. And I want this to be a campaign setting to rival Tears of Blood or Eberron when it is written up.

At first the Creator created three things: The Playground, with all of it's planes and twists, and two children, Xam and Eul. Xam was thoughtful and playful. Eul was cruel. And so they avoided each other a lot.

And Xam, when he played on the Playground, found Enigma, Ramus and Xiua'Hi on his own, and found Nessius with the sea's help. And he and his fellows were shunted into the Void. And then Xam found Kaern and Teerp, and accidentally let in Ooulzoth from another world.

And Enigma created Elisharon. And a small god named Tanner who had no worshippers from Playground nor wanted any yet warned Xam of a plot against the Playground from a god named Varr. And since Varr followed Ooulzoth to Playground, Xam blames himself, because he let Ooulzoth in...

And the alien gods, led by Varr, were to arrive in the fifth month of the Playground's existance.


And to prepare, Elimanishon made the sun brighter, and Kaern made the dwarves, and Xam made the lung dragons, and Xiua'Hi rallied alliances with many other gods. And Xiua'Hi made the Qi with the aid of Enigma and Eul and Xam and others.

And Coberal fell to the world and made the Godfall Crater.

And Evidaze made Calypso to wander the world.

[vegetalss4]

i may have missed it, but at what rank do new gods start?

[Ghill]

This sounds very interesting but, unfortunately, I do not own the 3rd edition books and do not have easy access to copies... Will this be following the rules closely or can I manage without them?

Also, do we have to chose from that list of domains, or from any actual DnD Domain?

[Innis Cabal]

own all the 3.5 books, very interesting, PM sent

[Lady Tialait]

Seems interesting, I'm gunna need a dumbed down version of the rules...can you post an dumbed down explanation please?

[Xuincherguixe]

Heh, lets see if I can pull this off with one of my Outer Powers.

I've got a black hole(The Devourer), a series of waves of explosive force(The Destroyer), winds(The Invader), a warp in space(The Corrupter), and an illusion that to every observer something different is seen(The Deceiver).

... Probably not ^_^


Also, the rules seem fairly confusing.

[ArlEammon]

<1> Ramus
[DR:6] Lesser Deity, Wizard 20/Mystic 8
Create a god.

You start with
1. Ramus
2. Sky
3. Air
4. A Blue Dove
5. Neutral good
6. Bow
7. Divine Rank 6

Brief discription:
Ramus is a son of Xam. He loves Xam. It doesn't matter if Xam loves him back. Ramus is somewhat of a new soul. He loves everything, even the nothingness.

[alchemyprime]

Okay... let me dumb this down for yall...

Create a god.

You start with
1. A name
2. A portfolio element
3. A domain
4. A holy symbol and
5. An alignment
6. a favored weapon
7. Divine Rank 6

When a Domain is Available, it’s up for grabs. If 1 deity has it, it is taken. If two have it, it is contested.

You get an amount of Action Points each “Month” (really, a week in real time, but it’s a month to the gods.)
Hero-Gods get 1 Action Point a Month
Demigods get 2 Action Points a Month
Lessers get 3
Intermediates get 4
Greaters get 6
Overgods get 10

Points roll over, to a max of 10 * your Divine Rank (meaning if you loose rank, you loose you Max points.)

You can spend points on the following activities.


1 Point Activities
Teach populous (like first teaching elves magic, or giving magic to a rival people of the elves such as goblins)
Nourish populous (Look! Mana from Heaven!)
Nourish land (Mm. Good corn harvest this year.)
Mold land (Not needed on a Divinely Morphic plane that isn’t your opposite alignment)
Pestilence (To harm a populous. Counters and can be countered by Nourish populous.)


2 points
Create populous (look! Dragonborn!)
Create land (And God said “Let the be Hawaii!”)
Guide populous (Holy War!)
Create portal (Between planes. Or manifest zones, like in Eberron)
Gain Domain (Must have accomplished 3 actions related to domain and asked a referee if it is okay first. Also must have a portfolio element related to the domain (doesn’t count as an action)
Gain Portfolio Element (Must have for a domain. Also helps to flavor your deity. Why would the god of Water rain fire from the sky?)

3 point

Attack another god (Divine Rank + (Number of Battle based artifacts * 0.5 is you Battle Score. Higher Battle Score wins. Winner may take either one portfolio element, or may get rid of one divine rank from looser, or may contest that deity for a domain or take a domain contested between the two.)
Begat god (Figure it out. Creates a deity of DR 1 + (1 for every 2 extra points spent, to a max of your DR –1)
Create Artifact (BAttle Artifact or Utility Artifact aka a MacGuffyn)
Create Avatar (to walk the planet or to be in more than one place at a time)
Create Plane (maybe as home or resource center)
Evolve Physically (usable once per caste (Demigod, Lesser god, Intermediate Deity, Greater Deity. Permanently increases Action Points by 1 each week.)
Gain Extra domain slot (Demigods have three slots, Lessers 4, Intermediates 5 and Greaters 7. This bumps that up by one, but all slots must be filled first.)
Create concept (like positivity- but it would be good if it related to a domain. More than one concept can be related to any single domain)


Please write point spending like this
(New Total= Old Total - Spendetures(what it was sent on))

EX
(0= 3AP - 3 (Create Concept:Ooze))


The world is a blank slate. Right now there is one continent, a big ocean and a sky. The sky just calmly glows: there is no night or day, no sun or moon (yet). There is no life. We need to fix that.

At this moment, the planes are: The Astral Plane, the Plane of Shadow and the Ethereal Plane.

You can role-play what the mortals are doing in your flock only. However, remember, the power level won’t be astronomical. Until year 2, no having a mortal over what would be appropriate for a level 9 character unless a god uses guide populous on them specifically. Between year 2 and 3, no mortals over level 18. And in year 3… keep epic mortals to a minimum.

Not a year is, of course, 12 of our weeks. This will last a long time. GO look at the original at gleemax to get an idea of how long this lasted. I joined halfway through year two and played for a good 5 months.

Oh, and if you need to leave for a while, that’s fine. Gods disappear in pantheons all the time.

This is a game to make a full campaign setting, with a full mythos, timeline, feel and cultures. I hope everyone is in it to win it.

[alchemyprime]

Oh, right. Levels.

Its 16 + Twice your DR.

So DR 6 is level 28. (16 + 12)

Every time you go up in DR, you gain two levels. You can do things explainable in your levels without spending action points.

So a god with Cleric or Mystic levels could do a minor healing to one individual or a minor heal to a gorup, but a god with only, say, Wizard would need to use a Nourish Populous or something similar.

Oh, and you can buy levels at 1 action point a piece (Remember, you're gods. the amount of XP you'd need is phenominal!)

[ArlEammon]

Is my edit satisfactory?

Can you put it in standard God format from 3.5? Think D&Dg.

[alchemyprime]

Okay, so here's the story so far as I see it.

The Creator, that being of total chaos, did what it did. It swan through the Void and Created. And it created Playground. It used the body of a god from another realm to form the planet. And it created Xam and Eul.

Eul was all of the failed attempts rolled up into one. And Xam was a being of pure creativity. And the two just wandered and avoided each other for a long time.

And Xam walked upon the Playground and looked up. And he wondered "I wonder who that is?" And behold, he created Ramus. And then he looked at the ground and wondered "And who is that?" And Xiua'Hi came to be. And then he started wondering why he wondered, and Enigma was created. And the four Played on the Playground, and looked at all of the wonderful things they could do.

However, like most worlds, the Playground was not meant for gods. And so they were shunted into the Astral Void, a smaller version of the Great Void the Creator lived in. And they looked upon the planet and Xam had an idea.

"How about we play a game with our Playground?"

That's the first post here. (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=83986) Post as you wish. Right now, everyone but Eul is on the Astral. Eul can be either on the Ethereal or the Shadow.

Name: Gonzo, Lord of relatively benign chaos
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Levels: 12 Cleric, 12 Wizard, 4 Fighter
Portfolio: --
Domain: Chaos
Holy Symbol: A glass eye with two pupils.
Favored Weapon(s): Mace, throwing axe
Divine Rank: 6

Description: Born from the forgotten and irrational thoughts of other divine entities, Gonzo is now the encarnation of slightly governed choas.

[alchemyprime]

Gonzo is a no go. He needs a domain. No god can have less than one domain, even if it is contested. Wait until other deities pop up or until a domain is available.

Oh, and I talked to an old friend who was also in the original LoC. Since he asked, I'm allowing him to bring his old deity back into this world.

So we have a deity from before the Playground was created in the Playground.

[alchemyprime]

Oh, and also, when creating the first creatures of a type other than Humanoid, make three at once.

So if you make the first giants, you can make any three types of giants. But all giant types after that are one type at a time.

But humanoids it's always one at a time, even at first. So you'd make halflings, then humans then elves, for example.

[Draken]

Yes.

So someone go and create sentient life. I can't do it, not yet, it's not part of what I do.

But I will make the first undead. That's for sure!

And I won't even use divine action points to do it! Muwahaha.

(Yea, technically all I have to do is kill something and cast Create Greater Undead)

[alchemyprime]

...

Yes, but you'd still need to create the CONCEPT of undead. We don't have any undead, so you'd need to do create concept, then start making the undead.

And once the concept is created, we will have the Undeath, Death, and Life domains available! Actually...

I'll make Life and Animal now, because Nessius created fish. But! Nessius can only count thier creation towards Life OR Animal, not both!

[Innis Cabal]

So should i have created Concept Nature for plant life as well then?

[Lady Tialait]

Between Eul and Enigma....this world could be destroyed.

[Draken]

Should I have created the concept of Negative Energy or can it go along with Entropy?

Because if so, then Death goes along entropy (Undeath does not)

And I am out of divine points. I think.

[Lady Tialait]

I don't think you should have to come up with the consept of your own domain or this could take awhile to do basic stuff. I think I have 1 point left for Enigma, i'm saving it till we refresh.

With this in mind, he has set out to create a world of interesting inhabitants for himself to understand and study the complex inter-relations of forces that shape matter and method.

edited to comply!

[alchemyprime]

No worshippers yet! Out planet has algae and fish! We have nothing yet!

And yeah, the starting domains are basic concepts the Creator made. The others need to be made.

Create Concept: Nature would have been good. We would have the plant domain then!

And no, Negative Energy Plane is just a plane of pure entropy. It can stay. But...

I think the Destruction domain should be available because of the new plane!

(I'm a little nuts, okay?)

[Innis Cabal]

Naw.....And if you'd like i will make Concept Nature when we get more points

[vegetalss4]

I'll make Life and Animal now, because Nessius created fish. But! Nessius can only count thier creation towards Life OR Animal, not both!

i choose Life
also when do we get more action points, and how do we get a higher rank?

[ArlEammon]

::Indiana Jones::"Choose life."

Okay, AP resets today.

This is Year 1, Month 1 (last week will be... Month 0...)

So, from now on, AP resets at 6:00pm, PST, every Thursday. Kay?

And if someone can boost the month as close to that as possible, that'd be great.

[Innis Cabal]

Awsome, alright, ill go make your life Alch :P

[Draken]

Are you keeping a list of all the concepts already created? It does get a bit confusing. But I am assuming we have life and living beings already, right?

Edit: And so we have the very first Undead.

[alchemyprime]

Well... I should be. And as for life, we have fish and algae and elves. And moss. If I missed something, let me know.

[Ghill]

alchemyprime, you said Gonzo is a no go without domain. Can I take the Chaos Domain? Can I still join right away or do I need to wait for someone to create me?

[Innis Cabal]

Chaos hasnt been made yet, as the world is pretty stable, last i knew, correct me if im wrong. Also Alch, is there a sun?

[Lady Tialait]

i belive there is not. But can you leave the sun to me? I was going to create it next week as a portal to the burning void. If you don't mind?

[Innis Cabal]

Sure on the sun, i was going to make the moon(perhaps more then one) next week, if people will leave that for me?

[alchemyprime]

Sure, you can make the moon. Once we have a sun, we will finally have night and day, not just dusk and slightly brighter dusk.

For Gonzo...

Wait man. It's only so long until one of us makes Chaos. I have a few domains in mind for Xam, and then I want for him to have sons to take some of that.

So, before it's ever created, I have one thing to say:

Dibs on Spider!

Okay, for new gods, I say now you need a vote from 3 existing players to get it.

So, Tialat, Vegetal, guys already playing (and Ooulzoth, who hasn't posted yet.) you guys tell me if you're okay with a certain god coming in. Three votes to get them in.

I approve of this guy. I couldn't think of an Endurance themed deity...He wins...put him in our playground.

[Innis Cabal]

Got my vote to

[alchemyprime]

Okay, new rule. New players can't claim a domain that a player already is trying to get. So... I think that means Undeath, Life and Animal are unavailable for new players. I like the Endurance guy too. But I want one mor eopinion. Then I'll post him as the next new god.

[Lady Tialait]

Awww, but I liked him..and there was no other Fire deity to be chosen other then Enigma. I say let him come on in. I mean Endurance isn't that easy to create a neat Deity for.

[Innis Cabal]

with a write up like his, i doubt he wont get at least another single vote. But i agree with Tialait, let him in, your vote counts to Alch right :P

And i just now see that Tialait is a palindrome, been reading the name forever and now it dawns on me....i feel low

[alchemyprime]

Alright, alright...
I'm chalking this up to a code of honor thing. Can't say no to a girl unless it breaks another part of my code.

Tialat, you better really be a girl. But next time I say I want another opinion, I'm waiting for it.

[Lady Tialait]

*blows kiss* No worries.

I totally agree on the 'atleast two gods bidding' thing for any other domains, i mean The would be beyond your first created Domains. I also think the others shouldn't be Son's or Daughters of Xam..but that is yet to be seen.

And...yes Tialait is a palindrome..but it's hard to catch for some reason. I used to use this name for the main NPC in a campaign...someone had her a cohort, and everything. But, nobody ever caught that her name was a palindrome.

[Innis Cabal]

I can see this world being....very unconventional as far as fantasy goes

[Draken]

I approve the new guy, if you still want another vote.

And I want more races! Grawr! Give me more creatures to eat and turn into new undead.

[Lady Tialait]

I think this world has the elves with the BIGGEST egos every....they can say stuff like "Our race was created before the sun itself, hence we are more important."

Also, yes, we have undead...but what about Dead? Shouldn't have Draken killed an elf or two before making his little ghoul/ghast/zombie/thingy.

Id think that a new race, just getting started would have at least one or two deaths, getting used to the new world.

As for the elves themselves, i actually laughed out loud at that comment and i now have the name for them, so thank you Tialait

Set was created from the touch of plague on the planet, devastating the oceans around it. The pestilence consumed the life of the fish and other aquatic creatures around it, gaining a small amount of sentience from the souls of the fish. When it stopped, it didn't cease to exist. It found itself in the Void, and gained power from a twist of fate, as a small spark of divinity struck it from the new Plane of Fire.

[Innis Cabal]

pretty sure that Draken is going for death, think Alch forgot to mark a point down for him in that domain

Should we make a master list of domains and check the ones that are available and put it in the ooc section perhaps?

[Lady Tialait]

Acually he hasn't claimed it...so Unless he does Death is still up for grabbs...I'm not feeling this Deity..but I think we need another one before We vote...

[Draken]

Yes. I am aiming for Death and Undeath.

And I did kill an elf to make my ghast, and my ghast killed a few elves to make ghouls. So death has happened.

Also, Nemesis' god has no portfolio. And his story doesn't fit much, I am afraid.

Ahriman also sounds like a monkey's name. Not sure why...

[Innis Cabal]

Ahriman is another name of Angra Mainyu, or Aka Mainyu

[Xuincherguixe]

You can always make zombie tigers. Or Bears.

[Nemesis67]

I took the name from a list of demon names I found through google because names are by far not my strong point. I think it is Maeden for demon... And as for the story, again not my strong point. I can edit those, if you like. I've expanded the concept after looking at my old Skaven Warhammer book.

So, since I don't think people not having current gods can create domains, that means that none are available? Or does that mean that they can be contested to add more gods?

[Nemesis67]

So Sun and Light are up...

Could I take the domain Pestilance? It has already been used by Tialait, so it as been introduced to the world, and no one else seems to want it as of now.

[Innis Cabal]

pestilance is the words used for destruction, diease has not yet been made, we are at the second month yet though, and new domains come in as gods make things, and do not claim the domains for themselves, as Tialait has done

[Maerok]

^ my app for Sun, edited in

[Lady Tialait]

Elimanishon, He Whose Passion Lights the World. Is. Approved of me.

But, our glorious leader said he wants two choices. So. Someone Else make a sun god.

[alchemyprime]

Yeah... I'm not counting the death of the elves to make ghouls as an action for Eul. And a Death related action... I guess making the Negative Energy Plane counts, but killing one elf? Please, that is chump change. When Tanner wanted Life in the OLoC (Old Lords of Creation), he had to make an entire template based off of life, which I homebrewed to be a nice fantasy version of the Time Lords. You make a death-race or do a major pestilence or a plague or something, and we'll talk points for death.

Undeath though, you made undead. Totally counts because you made the first one.

Realize, a divine month is like 3 to 30 to 300 years to the mortals. Gods experience time very slowly and out of sync with the mortals.

Um... I'm okay with a new sun god. But... I say Enigma should begat the sun god. Makes sense to me.

And I had an idea for a god to pop up in the second half of the first year. But the Lust and Generosity domains are pretty high up for what she needs. Eh, maybe I won’t use it.

I’ll post more later.

[Lady Tialait]

Well, it'll be a while before I have the points free to do that. I really want to create my race that I have homebrewed and am playtesting right now. So...it might be a couple of weeks before the new sun god comes forward.

A Sun god who is not good and has nothing to do with destroying undead?

:smallconfused:

Ok...

I endorse it.

And I do wish to make some more death and undeath related things. I want to teach people how to become Lichs and Necropolitans, but first I need Clerics and Wizards in the world.

And maybe humans. Elves work, but I think humans work better for the evilness.

[Lady Tialait]

Quick question. Is it possable for multiable gods to use their action points together for a greater undertaking?

Example:

Xam calls the other Gods together "Let's make a creature together!". Xiua’Hi with a granting nod molds the form of the new creature. Hearty but, not overly so. Nesius imbues it with grace and fill it's heart to explore the world. Enigma feeling the power of the questions arised in this being sends a rage to cloud it's mind. And Ramus breaths life into it.


You see, co-opertive creation...the effect is neat don't you think...But i don't know what you think ...

[Xuincherguixe]

I was told to put this here, despite there not being a Destruction domain yet. I don't know quite how that's all going to work, but, well here it is. As mentioned elsewhere, this is part of a Mythology of my own design. Elements of Khorne, and maybe a bit of Azathoth are in this one.

The Destroyer
[DR:6] Lesser Deity, Psion(Kineticist) 11/Psychic Warrior 7 /Slayer 10
Symbol: a series of circles each of which surrounds a previous one
Home: Void (Astral)
Alignment: Chaotic Evil
Domains: Destruction
Portfolio: Violence
Worshipers:
Favored Weapon: Holocaust* (Great Axe)
Avatar:

Description: A series of shockwaves continuously burst out from a center, the Destroyer is an Explosion. A being of cycles and waves, change, and energy. Spontaneously born in the chaos from which the Universe, The Destroyer does not have an actual name. Though it has been given many identifications, it originates from a place in which there are no names. In smashing apart the old, The Destroyer summons the new. In violence, meaning is found.


*I can change the name if people find it inappropriate. An evil god of power and violence should have an artifact of evil and violence. I've been debating this for awhile now, I felt this name was in spirit with the thing.

i like the idea of co-operative expenditures of energy, i think it would make sense that gods of...familial domains...so elemental or alignment domins, could team up togather to do so. After all, how do we build pantheons?

[Nemesis67]

So, what domains are left available after Xuincherguixe's and Cowjuicer's characters?

[Cowjuicer]

Larsikan, He who Waits
Classes: Monk 28
Portfolio: Longevity
Domain: Time
Holy Symbol: A silver clock with a clenched fist of gold in the center.
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Favored Weapon: Punching Dagger (wait for the right moment to strike)
Divine Rank: 6

Current AP: 6

Lartsikan is a being of coagulated time, created to watch over the building of the world. His steady eyes rove slowly back and forth as he waits and watches. He calculates coldly, attempting to discern any kind of advantage over the other gods.


I am allowed to post this, right? Or do I need permission from someone?

[Innis Cabal]

Unless Alch has some he hasnt posted, i am not sure, we are literaly in our second(just bearly) week of playing through so things are just getting rolling.

[Cowjuicer]

I want to use some of my 3 starting points, am I allowed to or is there a turn sequence of some sort?

[Lady Tialait]

Yeah, I think the application for new gods is fine tho, I mean if someone likes the new gods they can create them That way we can get more peaple into this. I don't see why more peaple can't post more gods. Give us currently Lords of creation ideas.

[Cowjuicer]

So, what domains are left available after Xuincherguixe's and Cowjuicer's characters?

There's a really big list found in the back of the Spell Compendium. Someone posted a link to it on page 1.

@ Draken, below: I'm not very sure at all about how this game works, so I decided to jump in. I'm fine with my god not appearing yet. How often does Alch post?

[Draken]

Even if we endorse, you should still wait Alch (the DM) to say when you appear. I think.

And we need moar points!

Or less costs!

[Innis Cabal]

i agree with waiting for Alch, and more points >.>

[Lady Tialait]

I agree with moar points..and waiting for Alch....

What? Are we the council of LoC or something?

[Draken]

Looks like.

[tsuuga]

Thanks for the votes, folks!

Well, cooperative point expenditures would certainly make sense for creating a new god... Speaking of which, who controls a newly spawned god? Their parent, AlchemyPrime, or do we look for someone to take their role?

[Innis Cabal]

we are the first gods! Of course we are a council >.> <.<

And as for new gods Tsuuga, your in control of it, its a free will thing

[Maerok]

So waiting for an alternative Sun god?

[Lady Tialait]

Yeah, We are waiting for a second...even though I doubt it can change my mind.

[alchemyprime]

Okay. The first seven (myself included) gods choose what new ones we allow in. So that is the players of Xam, Enigma, Ramus, Xiau’Hi, Nessius, Eul, and Ooulzoth.

Eventually, every domain, even homebrew ones and third party ones, can become available. But they need to exist before anyone can have them.

Also, if a god has a domain and he doesn’t want it, he can give it to another one if he wishes, either by begatting or by giving up a portfolio element and both gods paying 1 AP.

And yes, joint AP ventures are totally allowed. When I was Tanner, I did that quite a bit.

Hm… more points you say…

Okay. Tell you what. All the gods from Month 0 (So… Xam, Nessius, Ramus, Xiau’Hi, Enimga and Eul… the Godly Rangers…) I’ll say… Let me roll 6d6 here… clatter clatter clatter… 18 extra AP. For this week. And no more bonuses.

Wait… Nessuis is evolved. She gets 19.

And I voted yes on the new Sun God too. I think we had Tialat and Draken. Isn’t that 3?

Oh, and for now, we only have the available domains. But again: If a domain is taken, two gods can have it. Then it is Contested. As long as it’s not a god’s last domain, a Contested domain can be stolen by one of the contesters from the other.

So if Xam gets Animal and Nessius wants it and does 3 things, we both have Animal. First one to do half of the other person’s Divine rank in actions gets it as his own. So, since we’re both at 6, it’s first to do three actions related to the domain after it is contested and spend 2AP to steal the domain.

Okay. Any other concerns?

[Draken]

Oh yes! Another question.

How do we get more divine ranks?

Seriously, there is nothing regarding that in the rules. Only getting class levels.

[Maerok]

Can I make an action now? (I have plans for a domain.)

[Lady Tialait]

Yah, your created.

Enjoy...

[Maerok]

Hrm, first cosmic act. Within my bounds?

[Copacetic]

Hmm, I didn't see this before. Looks like I missed out. Anywho, I'm a bit confused on the application process. The OP says there should be a waiting list and the job on offer. I see neither. So how excatly am I supposed to join this?

[Maerok]

Figuring out how to answer the question is the first question of the application. :smallbiggrin:

You have to wait until a domain is made available; or you can reserve a spot apparently for when it pops up later on. See first post.

[alchemyprime]

Okay. Post 1 is now rules, updated, followed by Planes, Classes, Races and Monsters.

Post 2 is the domains list including available and taken. Show me if I missed one.

Post 3 is the Gods List, in order of creation (Well... I count Eul as 6, though storywise he is as old as Xam.) Also, I am updating an extra slot: Created, for what has been made.

Once we has civilizations, we can start doing a Cities page.

Oh, and if it is kosher with everyone, can I count clerics and adepts as the same action so I can grab sheparding as a portfolio element so I can have the Animal domain? Just wondering from the Council. 3 votes and I'll say it counts.

[Innis Cabal]

would like to ask for the Moon Domain now, if its possible, made the concept, the moon, and a gate linking the world with it with certain conditions.

[alchemyprime]

Spend the 3 AP to claim it.

I'm 3 short of grabbing Animal. (I'm going to branch out and make a kid. But man that'd a cooler begat with a female deity... but I think the only girl is Nessius...)

[Innis Cabal]

already spent the portfolio as well, asked IC and said to ask the ref so...asking >.>

[alchemyprime]

Yeah. I edited that once I noticed. Still need to buy the domain.

[Innis Cabal]

Doin it now and more

[Draken]

Well... I changed part of the current continent into an undead wasteland, and created undead there were never alive, Nightshades.

Can I clain Death and Undeath as mine now? :smallbiggrin:

[Copacetic]

would like to ask for the Moon Domain now, if its possible, made the concept, the moon, and a gate linking the world with it with certain conditions.

Curses! I was about to think up a moon god.

Anywho, the newly-revised OP is much easier to read and understand. Thank you. :smallbiggrin:

don't mind at all Alch, and i agree with Tialait on all counts.

As for homebrewing should we just make a general homebrew thread so we can complie everything, i don't know if people have ever looked at anything i make, but i'd like to think i am a rather...able homebrewer

[alchemyprime]

You can buy Undeath, but not Death. Yet.

I'm not letting you use the same dollar to buy two one dollar items. A point counts for 1 domain.

Like with me and Animal.
1. Making domesticated animals.
2. Making Lupins
3. Making Lycanthropes.

Now, I did make Spiders. But that counts towards Spider, not Animal.

So... tell me what they count for. Undeath or Death? You're only two from getting Undeath. I'd go with that.

[alchemyprime]

Yeah, I know how that feels Innis. I have well over eight full homebrew classes that I never felt got the right recognition.

Not to mention my races, but I was planning on making them 4e and selling them.

[Draken]

yea, I will take Undeath and become the lord of all that crawls in the night, now and forever! :smallbiggrin:

And... A Neutral god of death? Not really like Eul, specially with a rapier, sounds more like a guide for the souls of the departed than a Nerull-like deity. Probably more kindred to Xan or Xiai... I can't writte it, sorry Innis.

[Innis Cabal]

Its ok, i apologize in advance for the names and things to come when it comes to names

Heck...even i mis-spell it sometimes

[alchemyprime]

Okay. Draken, buy the Undeath Domain, and it's yours. I'll update the domains list right now.

[Lady Tialait]

the race Engima created is called Flameborn I'm working the last bit of kinks out of the the stats...plus here it's almost midnight...I'll be going to bed here in a couple of hours.

[Draken]

Well.

Took on a portfolio, a domain, evolved a bit, got greedy with divine ranks, and made the mightest of undeath's born into my worshipers. All in a day's work.

Woo.

Also roleplayed my newest creatures a bit. Nothing to much, really.

[tsuuga]

Awww... I found this thread a day too late :smallyuk:

Also, does the world "mortal" in

Until year 2, no having a mortal over what would be appropriate for a level 9 character unless a god uses guide populous on them specifically.refer to "anything non-divine"? If so, I think Draken needs to Guide Populous (Nightshades: CR 14-18) :smalltongue:

And now to post in the IC thread.

[Draken]

>.>

Yes, but they are contained to their own area, and are in a very limited number, for now.

Six, to be precise. Two of each, to be specific.

Besides, Cr 14-18 of each nightshade is one such creature developed to "adulthood" of the undead. Nothing prevents the ones I made of being lesser versions, bound to grow with time.

[alchemyprime]

Hm... actually, I'll allow it for monsters. But no raiding villages with them. It's more to make foolish fighters and clerics and rogues avoid going into the Deadlands (ghouls, ghasts and nightshades up against lvl<10 characers? Not going to end well, even if elves are immune to ghoul touch. And the lupins and Flameborn aren;t...)

[Innis Cabal]

I think mortal means huminoid PC races, as we can make non PC races three at a time for now.

[alchemyprime]

Yep. It sure does.

[Innis Cabal]

Hey Alch can you make the Homebrew area? I have some submissions i'd like to throw in.

Hercule was from the beginning a creature of great strength. Unable to wield magic like the other gods, he forced his way from the astral plane to the material through physical power. His first acts on the plane were the crafting of cliffs and chasms with his great axe, and digging out caves by hand. He would on occasion travel around the world to see if he was yet the strongest to exist.

"Well, you're lucky I forgot to add Plant to the list. I had meant to."
-Alchemy Prime

That could help my case for the goddess of swamps

Tirakonaga (Like terra con Aqua {means land and water})
[DR:6] Lesser Deity; Druid 8, Bard 8, Monk 4, Fochlucan Lyricist 8
symbol: silloughette of a claw clutching a scroll over a pale blue triangle
Home: Wanders the material plane (intends to craft herself a home)
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Domains: Plant
Portfolio: swamp (or does it need to be something else until swamps exist?)
Worshipers: none (will be reptilian humanoids.)
favored weapon: unarmed (claw)
Avatar: wanders material plane herself. Check out the yuan-ti picture in the MM (I'm not as skinny).
Creations: None yet

Brief description: Tira has been cursed/challenged (<whoever creates me, do one of those please) to stay on the material plane. Instead of cursing this fact, she intends to craft the perfect world, where water, land, sun, and plant-life all meet. This land will be known as swamp when it comes. In her perfect world, she will create the "perfect" creatures (mostly reptiles, and reptilian humanoids. She is a very mystic goddess, and all of her creations will be endowed with magical prowess. Eventually she hopes to create giant magical fire breathing lizards to act as an avatar to the rest of the world (more likely though, she'll just make a god of dragons). She is a benign (although cocky) soul, and does not want to do much more than design and guide a race that will make her stay in the material plane more enjoyable.

Sales Pitch: Tira will be the closest thing you have to a god of bounty for a while, since early on she will actively push the plant life agenda (to populate her swamps). In addition, she will be willing to help beget a true god of nature, if any interested folks do appear.

Eul (Played by the most awesome person to ever live. and I mean ever.), my reptilians will be sufficiently evil (and magical, if I have anything to do with it) to make liches out of, so voting for me (and perhaps aiding in begetting me) would not be such a bad thing for you to do.

Nessius, Tira would not only be another female god, but she will provide a medium through which your water based fury can affect land folk more (via manipulating the swamp, which I assume you would have the power to do)

edit: sorry, none of that is really "brief" I'm a sucker for role-play, and had fun with the development of Tira

[Marmic]

yeah, I am not too happy with what I came up with. It might fit in later, but it just doesn't seem to belong yet. I definitely want something that would either fit in Strength or Law domains, but right now I think my Imagination is broke.

[Copacetic]

I've got to ask first Frigs, have you read up on the elves of the Playground at all? They aren't your standard elf, just asking. If you have then you've got my vote

I have. To my understanding, they are dark-skinned elves, who are hiding deep in the forest and only coming out to play with the Lupins. They are almost barbarians, correct? I plan to change that. :smallamused:

Still, re-reading, I suppose I could tweak a little, if you want.

[Innis Cabal]

i wouldn't call them barbarians, just....they've literaly seen the birth of the sun. They have been around almost as long as the playground has existed. Xiua'Hi just made them, nothing beyond that, he really isnt the caring sort

[Lady Tialait]

Well, maybe a god of elves will change what they are....maybe split the race into subraces (because no fantasy setting has subraces of elves..../sarcasm) and send your dark skinned elves underground....wait...who invited the drow to our party?

[Innis Cabal]

Noooo, i wanted to avoid the drow. AVOID THEM AT ALL COSTS!

[Copacetic]

Well, maybe a god of elves will change what they are....maybe split the race into subraces (because no fantasy setting has subraces of elves..../sarcasm) and send your dark skinned elves underground....wait...who invited the drow to our party?

I was thinking of being the one that made all the elf subraces :P Being a god of chaos and all.

[Adumbration]

Made a slight change - changed the prestige class from Fatemaker to Cipher Adept. The fluff fits better.

[Copacetic]

And you have my vote

Shiny. :smallsmile: On another note, I wait for the final word from alchemyprime, right?

[Innis Cabal]

You need three votes from existing gods, and the go ahead from Alch, yes. I'll look over the other gods later and give my thoughts/vote's

[Lady Tialait]

Our elf god has my vote...if Xiua'Hi will create him.

[Innis Cabal]

Sure, he'll need to wait till Thursday but ill Beget him

[Draken]

The elf god has my vote, and Adnumbration... Yea, sure.

Grimace's... Hmm... Dragon's have already been created (Gem at least, some others will show up in the future.), sorry.

And it's Draken, with D, not K. :smallannoyed:

Other than that... *shrug* I don't have much of an opinion about your deity.

[Adumbration]

Thanks to Tialait and Draken. When I saw that the sun god wasn't anti-undead and the niche wasn't filled, I wanted to create a slightly different god of death. :smallsmile:

*cough*Adumbration*cough*

[Innis Cabal]

ok, have some more time so ill get the others.

God of Death, now that Draken's given his go ahead, sure, nice spin on the death thing.

Grimace-As for a Nature God, Xiua'Hi has been spreading plant life through out the world, and the moon, and has his eyes on it. A goddess of swamps isnt a bad idea, but i'd suggest reading how the world's progressed and then making a god based off that. I'm holding my vote till others give their input

[TheGrimace]

yeah, I literally JUST found the IC thread (after wondering where all the action had been going on), so I'll give that a read, and then probably post a revision.

Draken, terribly sorry for getting your name wrong.

at least, I promise it wont happen again.

[Lady Tialait]

Grimace, your lucky, Draken is known to devour the souls of those who get his name wrong..

Addionally, this is as it stands what I have on the Flamborn.

FLAMEBORN
* Medium: As Medium creatures, Flameborn have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.
* +2 Con, -2 Int
* Fire Subtype: A creature with the fire subtype has immunity to fire. It has vulnerability to cold, which means it takes half again as much (+50%) damage as normal from cold, regardless of whether a saving throw is allowed, or if the save is a success or failure.
* Darkvision out to 60 feet.
* Immunity to poison, sleep effects, paralysis, and stunning.
* Not subject to critical hits or flanking.
* Unlike most other living creatures, an elemental does not have a dual nature—its soul and body form one unit. When an elemental is slain, no soul is set loose. Spells that restore souls to their bodies, such as raise dead, reincarnate, and resurrection, don’t work on an elemental. It takes a different magical effect, such as limited wish, wish, miracle, or true resurrection, to restore it to life.
* Elementals do not eat, sleep, or breathe.
* Flameborn base land speed is 30 feet.
* At will spell-like: Create Flame, Control Flames
* Naturally Psionic 1 extra power point per day.
* Automatic Language: Common. Bonus Languages: Any (other than secret languages, such as Druidic). See the Speak Language skill.
* Favored Class: Wilder


Races are not my strong point.

[tsuuga]

Tialait, surely Flameborn, if they look anything like the picture you posted, can create flames at will :smallwink:

Yeah, it took me a while to find the IC thead too... it should probably be linked from the first post (hint, hint!)

Better late than never, but Frigs has my vote as well :smalltongue:. I can see potential for alliance... we're both long term types.

Adumbration gets my vote... although something about a god named "Mort" strikes me as hilarious. "By the power of Mortimer, I abjure thee!":smallbiggrin:

TheGrimace also gets my vote. I would like to reiterate that dragons are already being made, although I note that there's still room for Greens(if Xam didn't include him in his dragon larvae), the traditional swamp dwellers. Maybe you could lump them in with, say, gators, and something else big, scaly, and lurky for a Create Populace.

Speaking of Create Populace, my plans for next week involve making some dwarves. Just so it's out there :smallcool:

Marmic, I'm sorry, but your god does come off as fairly generic. My advice would be to swap Brute Force out for another portfolio element that doesn't correlate so directly to your Domain, and change your backstory to reflect it. Storms, for instance. "When Elimanshon kissed the lake, great clouds of steam filled the sky. The cloud was filled with rage at being taken from its rightful place on the earth, and brooded for days. When it's anger became unbearable, it struck out at the earth with a column of lightning as thick around as a house. The lightning took the shape of a man, and that man was Hercule."

[Innis Cabal]

Blacks are the swamp dwellers Tsuuga :P, Greens live in forests

[Lady Tialait]

fixed the Flameborn...so they feel..more flaming? Dwarves?...YAAAY!...

This is tons of fun...teehee..I have plans for thursday...muhahahahahhaha

[tsuuga]

Blacks are the swamp dwellers Tsuuga :P, Greens live in forests

D'oh! Serves me right for never using dragons...

Tialait, you may want to edit the size and speed references, which both refer to hoo-mans. They'll feel even more flaming :smalltongue:

I can't wait for some more activity in the IC thread.

[wadledo]

Hmmmm.....
Interesting.

Expect an insect good of eating stuff eventually.

[TheGrimace]

I have read the IC now in it's entirety (it seems as though some of you had experience in the glee max, or else are just exceptionally proficient in rhetoric.)

Since Tira has but 1 vote, and appears to be treading on the feet of a titan, I'll suggest this instead;

if any god here intends to beget an underling, I would be more than willing to role-play it. It seems appropriate for Eul or Enigma to create a god of night as an underling.

Eul because night is characteristically evil (he could be an enlightened nightshade)
Enigma because darkness hides the answer to "the burning question."

but w/e, I'll chill, and if someone decides they want a minion, I'll be all miniony

Acually a god of Night would be along with our God of the moon...his creation to watch his moon and protect it as he sleeps..but I might be wrong.

[TheGrimace]

it is not the child's job to pick his parents.

(god of moon is still in wait though, currently, the world has no god of the moon)

[Lady Tialait]

Moon- Xiau'Hi

Just...ya'know..FYI....

Anyway. I hope Alch somes back on to give the go ahead on peaple who have three votes and finish what Xam started.

[TheGrimace]

I'm so backwards here.

In my mind's eye, a "god of the moon" is one who has moon as his primary domain, and cares most about it.

Xiau'hi will undoubtedly be an uber-deity, and will need underlings to micro-manage (like a god of nature, and a god of the moon), since he is so varied in his potency.

[Innis Cabal]

Xiua'Hi does care about the moon as much as he actually can care about anything. As he cares about the Material Plane. He is most concerned with how everything balances out. There is Day, there must be Night, so thus he made the moon, and commitied alot of energy into it, even going so far as to link the material plane(Earth) to the Heavens(Moon), so again, balance there.

I try to stay away from the common things, i want the Playground to be a world unlike Tolkien or Forgotten Realms, and thats really the angle i am comming from.

I see a god of earth not as a rigid and unyielding entitiy, but one who yields to all other things and remains, and then seeks to push back its boundries. I view Xiua'Hi viewing the cosmic war between alignments and dieties in this very same light, one he wish's to maintain so his precious Earth remains everlasting

[Cowjuicer]

I wondered where everything was taking place and after some searching found the IC thread.

May I have permission to go ahead and post in the IC thread with my god (being created)?

If so: On page 1 there was a long list of domains and from that I chose Time. Is this allowed, or should I choose something else?

[Xuincherguixe]

Can someone create a Destruction domain please? I want to cause some mayhem ^_^

[Lady Tialait]

That was on my To-Do list....for this thurday acually. After all, I have almost finished what i'm doing, but you have yet to be voted apon...Your god has my vote.

Time isnt on the list of domains avaliable, though i am sure it will be sooner or later.

[Lady Tialait]

Oh yeah....our elves...and other races have HUGE egos...they where created before Time itself....

[TheGrimace]

time will be here sooner or later...

that seems kind of punny, huh?

[Innis Cabal]

This world really...i have no words for it


Elves
Before the sun shone in the sky, and perpetual dusk draped the land, the Elves existed. Their skin as dark as jet or obsidian shone in the pale light, their eyes perfectly suited to the dim light. But with the sun, they fled to the gloom of the crust of the mainland, only coming out during the night.

Personality: Elves are strong will survivors, having been made in the first throes of life of the world, seeing the deaths of their kindred, the forming of the wastelands and deserts, and the very creation of the heavens themselves. Such adversity has given them a strong sense of family and life, and how to shape their home to support any sort of struggle, no matter if it is from a mortal source of a divine one.

Physical Description: Elves have jet black skin, almost lustrous in their shine. Their eyes vary greatly, from almost a white/pearl hue to the deepest of oranges and amethyst. Their hair color varies from an off white to a gleaming silver. Elves stand tall, the average standing at 6’, and are muscled to weather any physical hardship.

For stats and further information such as names, religious views and language, see the main entry of elves in the Player’s Handbook, page 15.

Hachi

Born of the Earth god, and chosen as his people, the Hachi dwell on a single mountainous island off the coast of the mainland. These odd creatures have grown fond of their draconic guardians, incorporating them into their communities as simply larger versions of themselves. While appearing like a bee or wasp, Hachi are in fact mammals, but are ovoviviparous, laying eggs in a single clutch of twelve.

Personality: Hachi have taken to their creator’s sleepy, lazy style of life. Working in large prosperous bursts, and then resting for long periods of time in their homes. While not lazy, the hachi prefer to watch and to fully understand a situation before rushing to act on it, and many can be found in debates over even the simplest of matters for hours, even day’s. Male hachi are prone to hedonistic life patterns, favoring eating and drinking and debating over the harder menial tasks, while females prefer to feel the earth on their feet and the air in wings.

Physical Description: Hachi stand lower to their ground, around 5 foot to 5 foot 6 inchs. Their lower body’s are shaped much like an insect, with a thorax and abdomen with two set’s of legs attached to the thorax. A pair of multifaceted clear wings also attached to the thorax, as well as the upper body of an elf. The upper body remains the same color of the main body, which can range from a molted black to bright yellow. Markings designate family, and share the color range of regular skin tones. Most males do not wear clothing, while females of the species wear a simple jerkin over their upper body. Haci females have a single pair of antenna while males do not.

Relations: Hachi have for the most part, kept to their island, forming deep bounds with the draconic presence that shares their homelands.

Alignment: Hachi mindsets tend toward the varied forms of neutral, but good and evil minded hachi have existed.

Hachi Lands: Hachi hold an island off the coast of the main continent, but have yet to adventure past their boundaries. Hachi communities, called hives, are ruled by a female with the largest hit dice, known as a Queen, and four princes, picked by the community at large. Buildings are built with multiple stages, and typically employ their natural ability to fly.

Religion: Hachi live worshipping nature and the world above them, paying particular attention to what the view as their father, the moon. They have a strong drive to nurture the natural world, and plant trees and other plant life after the harvest so as to guarantee a decent harvest for the next year.

Langauge: The Hachi language is brisk and upfront, making sure to get its point across with the least possible effort and the most possible meaning. Their odd shaped mouths offer them the ability to form syllable’s not possible for other races to vocalize easily, though it is not hard to grasp the basics. The Hachi language is known as Bixxian

Names: Hachi names are often polysyllabic, consisting of multiple z’s and k’s. Hachi names are not gender specific and it is just as likely to meet both a male and female Kk’xristic as it is any other name.

HACHI RACIAL TRAITS

Hachi base land speed is 40 feet

+2 charisma, -2 con: Hachi are inquisitive and naturaly friendly with all things, but suffer from a frail body build.

Medium: As a medium creature a Hachi have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size

Flight(Ex): When a Hachi gains 5 hit dice, he becomes able to fly with a speed of 30 feet(with good maneuverability). A Hachi cannot fly if he is exhausted or carrying a heavy load. A Hachi at this stage can fly for up to 10 minutes per day, or 20 minutes if they over exert themselves, after which they are considered fatigued. After a Hachi gains 10 hit dice, they can fly as easily as one could run or walk, and can fly for an indefinite period of time.

Darkvision: A Hachi has darkvision out to 60 feet.

A Hachi has a +3 racial bonus to spot and listen checks. These skills are always class skills.

Hachi begin play knowing Draconic and Bixxian

Hachi are surprisingly light on their feet, and their wings aid them in making quick movements in the right situations. Hachi gain a +2 dodge bonus to armor if they are not carrying a heavy load or fatigued.

Favored Class: Sorcerer or Druid

That is what elves are at the moment, of course, that is all subject to change.

You forced me to do this:

Flameborn
Born as a celebration of the god Enimga. They have little perpose in life, at first restrained to the Burning Void they soon were forced to travel to the World itself. Enigma showing no care for them.

Personality: Flameborn are emotional beings, they will in the same statement show disdain, rage, and love. They live with passion and show it with everything that do. Flameborn do everything fully and completely.

Physical Description: Flameborn have ebony skin with small cracklike parts all over their bodies, this allows for their inner flame to flare outward. There eyes show as much fire. They stand between 6'2 and 6'5 with females shorter then males by only a few feet. Flameborn never age, few of them die. They show no ageing effects but each wound on them produces another crack to flare there innerflame.


Relations: Flameborn have not really met many other creatures like themselves. They think they are the only creatures of the world who can feel. but as they meet others it can be expected they will show hot tempers and loads of passion that could be misenteritued as acts of hostility.

Alignment: Flameborn tent toward chaotic alignments. As they have passion that does not allow for the great law of things.

Flameborn Lands: The flameborn live primarily on the fire mountains in the oceans. Near the Black Water blight. As they do not need food or water, the smoke and fire of the fire mountains serve them well. Some have made it as far as the many Desserts that dot the landscape of the World.

Religion: Flameborn do not worship, they see no reason to. If a God could love them, it could just as quick take fury apon them. They take the outlook that if they leave the Deities alone much the same will happen to them.

Langauge: Flameborn have the elemental language of Ignian to pull their dialect from.

Names: Flameborn names often times are the same names for other things around them or variations on the words 'Question' 'Fire' or 'Emotion' Examples are : Enigma, Quantry, Inferno, Flame, Rapturous, Vent.

FLAMEBORN RACIAL TRAITS


* Medium: As Medium creatures, Flameborn have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.

* +2 Con, -2 Int the Flameborn race are extremely resilient, but they do not learn very quickly often making the same mistake again and again.

* Fire Subtype: A creature with the fire subtype has immunity to fire. It has vulnerability to cold, which means it takes half again as much (+50%) damage as normal from cold, regardless of whether a saving throw is allowed, or if the save is a success or failure.

* Darkvision out to 60 feet.

* Immunity to poison, sleep effects, paralysis, and stunning.

* Not subject to critical hits or flanking.

* Unlike most other living creatures, an elemental does not have a dual nature—its soul and body form one unit. When an elemental is slain, no soul is set loose. Spells that restore souls to their bodies, such as raise dead, reincarnate, and resurrection, don’t work on an elemental. It takes a different magical effect, such as limited wish, wish, miracle, or true resurrection, to restore it to life.

* Elementals do not eat, sleep, or breathe.

* Flameborn base land speed is 30 feet.

* At will spell-like: Create Flame, Control Flames

* Naturally Psionic 1 extra power point per day.

* Automatic Language: Ignian Bonus Langues: any.

* Favored Class: Wilder


See what you made me do?

[Innis Cabal]

*Lofts sword into the air*

I HAVE THE POOOOOOOWER!

And what do you all think of the Hachi?

[Lady Tialait]

They are neat...and original..very original...extremely original...

[Innis Cabal]

thank you, and i like the flameborn alot

Though i do have to say, this world has no hopes for being normal, at least not with the prgenitor races as they are.

Also if possible i'd really liek to get a sigtar made of the original starting gods, to show case this porject, if thats cool with everyone

So that would be Xam, Eul, Nesius, Ramus and Xiua'Hi in i guess their natural form(or currently evolved form)

[Lady Tialait]

You make a banner or Sigtar, and I'll put it in my Siggy...

[Draken]

I made a long-ish description of the evolved form, so go read it.

And... +6 to Listen and Spot? That's kinda high don't you think?

Oh, and it might not look like that, but as elementals, the flameborn have many, many immunities that probably raise their ECL.

And I will make a templated race in the future.

Deadborn. Grawr. And they shall rise form the flock of Eul's living mad cultistsfollowers. Converge to the deadlands and do what evil cultists do.

[Lady Tialait]

Deadborn?...Dead...Born?....that sounds disturbing...

As for the ECL...maybe..they might have an LA..that wouldn't bother me one bit.

[Innis Cabal]

I made a long-ish description of the evolved form, so go read it.

And... +6 to Listen and Spot? That's kinda high don't you think?

Longish description of what?

And yea its a little high, but untill level 10 or 10 hit die they are a human without a bonus feat and little else. Maybe lower it to a 3?

And for the Flameborn, are they immune to disease and all the other heafty elemental things? And do they have a discernable anatomy((not immune to crits and the like) i read it as they were only elementals as listed in their discriptor, a strong race...pushing an ECL 1, but nothing more then that. They are a little weaker then Fire Genasi and they are an ECL 1 race

[Lady Tialait]

Acually, Flameborn are only a shell with fire that burns inside of them. So, immunity to criticals works.

[Draken]

You asked how the other people's gods looked, I mentioned that I made a long-ish description of Eul's evolved form in one of my latest posts.

------

And now that you put it under these terms, yea, you are right, maybe, but I fear for these bonuses... Maybe +3 to each, and make the skills always be class skills?

------

And Tialait, the deadborn being disturbing is the idea! But seriously, it will hardly be a lot more than giving Tomb Tainted Soul as a bonus feat and calling it a template (I'm lazy like that). (No, I am not lazy like that)

[Innis Cabal]

Ah right right, and thats not a bad idea on the class skills.

To Tialait...if they are immune to Crits they should be an ECL 1 race, pushing ECL 2

PrC's are really what i tend to homebrew, races arnt my forte for the most part

[Lady Tialait]

I don't mind a strong LA 1 or a weak LA 2....I just want them to be exactly what I want them to be.


As for homebrewing...my strong point is Feats....my weak point is Races.

[Innis Cabal]

That is exactly all that matters, i'd peg em at a 1

I like making feats, but....they tend to need to be a little rebalanced. We need the homebrew section up! My mind is burning with ideas!

[Lady Tialait]

Well...make one...relocate my Flameborn there...

[Innis Cabal]

Homebrew Section is up, and if everyone could give me a full description of their god(the origianals) Ill go post it in the avatar thread, and throw myself at their mercy

[Draken]

I don't usually post my homebrews (specifically because most of what I have is in portuguese and it takes some time to translate) but I give preference to making monsters and templates, sometimes I make a prestige class, and the only base class I attenpted to make (The Tinker) still needs it's tinkering list to be done.

Other than that, I prefer to avoid making feats... Funny thing. And I am working on a monstrous player race.

[Prophaniti]

Oh, I totally want to make a god for this. I'm confused on something, though. I've seen a couple of Death god attempts, but Death is still unmarked on the domain list. Is it open or not? Also, how does a domain become contested by two gods if it's taken by the first? Are those just the domains that multiple gods tried to claim at once? Last question, if domains not listed must be created by existing gods, does the creating god get first dibs? Wouldn't that make it kinda hard for new gods to emerge?

[Innis Cabal]

Oh, I totally want to make a god for this. I'm confused on something, though. I've seen a couple of Death god attempts, but Death is still unmarked on the domain list. Is it open or not?

It isnt, untill Alch says yes or no to the ones already up there.


Also, how does a domain become contested by two gods if it's taken by the first? Are those just the domains that multiple gods tried to claim at once?

If its not claimed and two gods have enough points to claim it through doing things according to buying rules


Last question, if domains not listed must be created by existing gods, does the creating god get first dibs? Wouldn't that make it kinda hard for new gods to emerge?

They do, but you can only have so many, as it stands many have already been put in the public list, as they do not fit in ICly with the god.

[Lady Tialait]

Or, the God who created them simply doesn't feel like putting the effort into the Domain...such as with Enigma and the Sun.

[Innis Cabal]

And, call me crazy, but shouldnt new gods comming in have a harder time then the ones that were made at the dawn of time? There are more rules in place as the older gods create and force their will on the world, shaping other gods to follow that? Maybe i'm off base on that. And this is merely an IC point of view, in a manner of speaking. I'm up for anyone joining so long as they fit with the setting

[Lady Tialait]

Alright, your crazy.

I see you as mostly right, I think the current gods need to create/begat/otherwise the new gods. No matter if they fit in or not. Even a new god can do so. So, we should change the first post of getting in to something like this:

Becomeing a Lord of Creation:

Step 1: Get a sponsor, this will be the person who will create your acual god. It can be any current god as long as they agree to use the 3 AP to create you.

Step 2: Propose the God on this thread. If you get 3 votes on your God concept you may ask for permission from AlchmestPrime. upon his approval you may join on.

Step 3: Have fun!

[Innis Cabal]

Sweet! I have accomplished all i ever wanted, and not even a full day to do so....

I like this set up, quite a bit actually. Though, other then getting someone new into the game, what does the "parent" god recive for creating a god? To take Forgotten Realms as a source, Talos created Valsharoon(God of necromancy) only to have Valsharoon to turn around and spit on him and run. Though Talos did make him a god from a mortal, and was going to consume his dieific energy to make him stronger, the point still remains.....its a dangerous set up and loses a whole week for the Parenting god

[tsuuga]

And, call me crazy, but shouldnt new gods comming in have a harder time then the ones that were made at the dawn of time?

I think "Missing out on 21 AP" counts...

[Draken]

We should also remember people of one thing.

Lesser gods don't walk the material plane, they reside in the Void. If you want to have your deity walk among mortals, he should be a demigod.

[Innis Cabal]

With age comes experiance? >.>

And why wouldnt lesser gods walk the world for a little while? Though thats what avatar's are mostly for

[Lady Tialait]

It's the risk you take. If your willing. Thursday I get 4 points because I evolved. I'm going to use 3 of them to create a god. I don't know who yet. But i'm looking out for candidates. Maybe a God who will be for my Peaple. Or something else. Just like the Sun god will be looking out for what I wanted for the Sun..a thing of passion and It saves me time...but if he teams up with someone and distroys me..that will make me a sad deity.

[Innis Cabal]

i've already said i'll beget the elf god, Alch premitting. It was more playing devils advocate. I'm great with everything so long as people are following the story

[Lady Tialait]

I think Alch..for the sake of everything shouldn't have that much power. This is his project, but asking him for everything could end up a problem.

We'll see what he says when he gets on. If he doesn't mind we could cut the part of his approval and turn it into '3 votes and your in' kinda thing.

[Innis Cabal]

i'll check in in the morning before work, gotta get going. The three vote thing regardless of what happens should be kept.

But for now, they wait and sleep off their meal.

[tsuuga]

I am of the opinion that begetting a player god ought to be something entirely different from begetting a sub-god. After all, convincing someone to spend 13 AP, or starting at DR 1 is hardly enticing for a new player, and a perceived debt between deities has the potential to cause bad blood. I would suggest that a given deity's parentage continue to be a matter of flavor, not mechanics.

wadledo: I'm a big fan of Tyranids in W40k... so I've gotta vote for you :smallbiggrin:. You need more levels though - A total of 28 class levels, monster levels, and level adjustment.

[wadledo]

My race is the one in the link, and I didn't see that bit off info, thanks.

[tsuuga]

I believe it may have been lost in the Great Rules Clarification. You get 16 levels + 2 levels/divine rank.

Ah. I skipped right over the crunch to the fluff - and then assumed you were Thri-Kreen for some reason. Looking forward to dealing with an infestation... :smallcool:

Thats alal thats happened up to the last update.

[wadledo]

Actually, they already exist.
I am going to be away for 3 weeks, so that should work quite nicely, though reading through the mess of posts in the beginning I see that if I was creating a new race, as long as they are not humanoid, I get three?:smallconfused:

[Innis Cabal]

Well, its a bit of a complicated system. Creatures don't just exist, its a new world, literaly the games been running from 06-25-2008, 10:52 AM to Today, 12:53 AM. Creating races takes points, 2, and yes if they are not a PC race(So Thri-Keen might be debatable) you may make 3 of a kind, such as the Nighshades and dragons and regular animals that have come about. As of yet, there have been no insects made(Thus the domain has not been opened and can't be taken as an option)

I don't want to talk for Alch as its his game, but thats been its been going, see the God of Chaos(As Chaos has not really been present yet)

[wadledo]

No, I think the main point of my god is that he is not from the plane originally.
The best way of describing him would be as a multidimensional garbage disposal, siting around until a universe isn't used anymore, then gobbling it up.
I'm thinking that they don't mind setting things in motion so it happens faster or slower, to "age the universe" (as it were).

Possibly adding Psurlons(Lords of Madness) to the list of races, as the evil ones.
Thinking Thri-Keens be Neutral good, and the Atcevlalat are Chaotic Neutral.

[Innis Cabal]

sadly can't help ya there, its a good idea but that really needs final say from Alch.

[Adumbration]

Would anyone like to patronize my god? By my calculations, I'm half-way through step 2, after skipping step 1 completely. (No patron god, 4 positive votes, no response from AlchemyPrime yet.)

[Xuincherguixe]

Your god sucks! It's full of bugs! It's argument is totally flawed!

... Oh wait, you didn't mean THAT kind of patronize.

[Lady Tialait]

I'll Patronize Xuincherguixe Distruction God...he just need the votes.

[TheGrimace]

I think that playing a demi-god is totally enticing.

the idea of tialait (would have spelt it wrong, then remembered about palindromes) wants to create a god of the flameborn, a 1 DR demi-god is a great way to do it!

You'd be able to find people who want to play it, too.

where is it written? Ill take a look at it and say yay or nay

And Ooulzoth, 28 levels, one portfolio and one domin for starting gods

[Xuincherguixe]

Back near the end of page 3. Huh. Didn't seem like that long ago I posted it.

[Innis Cabal]

I was told to put this here, despite there not being a Destruction domain yet. I don't know quite how that's all going to work, but, well here it is. As mentioned elsewhere, this is part of a Mythology of my own design. Elements of Khorne, and maybe a bit of Azathoth are in this one.

Though it has been given many identifications, it originates from a place in which there are no names. In smashing apart the old, The Destroyer summons the new. In violence, meaning is found.


*I can change the name if people find it inappropriate. An evil god of power and violence should have an artifact of evil and violence. I've been debating this for awhile now, I felt this name was in spirit with the thing.

sure, got my vote, gonna assume Tialait is a vote on yes


So we have what.....3 pending gods? And TheGrimace wanting to do a demi-god?

The three awaiting FINAL JUDGEMENT are

Xuincherguixe

Adumbration

Frigs
All three have gotten 3 votes.

So, it occurs to me: At some point, it would be nice to have a map. After all, you guys keep plopping down geological features... :smallwink:

So, here is a proposed outline for the main continent (and that's Xiua'Hi's new land at the bottom, tell me if you don't like it.{how do you pronounce that anyway? Schwaa-Hee? sounds like something Michael Jackson would say:smallamused:}

Yeah, it's ugly, there's a limit to how long I'm willing to spend on a proposal =P
http://img65.imageshack.us/img65/5798/locmapcopypj0.th.png (http://img65.imageshack.us/img65/5798/locmapcopypj0.png)

So, what I need you guys to do is plop down your land features, and that's what the grid is for. Just give me coordinates, or MSPaint em in. Off the top of my head, we've got:

Enigma's Volcanos
The first and second set of Ramus' mountains
Teerp's desert
The desert from where Elimanishon tried to kiss the world
the portals to Sun and Moon
The Dead Wastes


Edit: In answer to Maerok's question in the IC thread, you gain new AP on Thursday at 6:00 PST.

[Draken]

I can't hope but think it looks like an ugly, fat chicken.

And given choice, I would place the dead wastes in the are behind F13 and G14 (yes, it is a big area, it was made by the fury of an evil god!)

[Xuincherguixe]

But if it was a small area, it could be more concentrated evil! It's like orange juice that way, evil.

[Maerok]

Hmm, well let's say that the sun rises in the west (so the sun disappears in the east, where the Deadlands lie*), so that'd be where he made his first actions. How about... K6ish. I like that little area. Let us assume there was another lake thing there which was destroyed. Unless a higher god would find it best to locate it elsewhere :smallyuk:. In the future I would have plans to expand it west and southwest (a more powerful Nourish Land?).

*Maybe the sun rise and sets on an axis between the desert and the darkest of lands? So SW to NE, rather than W to E?

[Xuincherguixe]

Since this is a fantasy world, it doesn't have to obey science. This world could honestly be center of the universe, and the sun revolves around it.

It could zig zag through the sky.

Or it could appear in the same place every day, and fade away over time.


Just saying :P

[Maerok]

Well who ultimately has control over how it moves?

[Xuincherguixe]

Probably you :P

There's placeholders for the mountains and the Dead Wastes (Draken, the coordinates you specified were out in the ocean, so I moved it a bit. If you want the continent extended, that's fine.

[Draken]

Hahaha.

I mistook th enumbers, that's the area I wanted.

And I agree with the sun rising in the SW and setting in the NE! That would be quite new. Warm north and South? Hah! That's different.

[Xuincherguixe]

Nice, it even looks like a place that holds creation in contempt, as it lashes out against it,

[Innis Cabal]

So, it occurs to me: At some point, it would be nice to have a map. After all, you guys keep plopping down geological features... :smallwink:

So, here is a proposed outline for the main continent (and that's Xiua'Hi's new land at the bottom, tell me if you don't like it.{how do you pronounce that anyway? Schwaa-Hee? sounds like something Michael Jackson would say:smallamused:}

Great idea for one, the mainliand is covered in Mountains, i would say it is safe to just place them all over, as Enigma, Xiua'Hi and Ramus have made them at least once.

As to how to say his name, Shyooa'Hir, its Pinyin

As to how things relate in space, i'd say its up to Maerok and Me, as earth/moom and sun gods

[wadledo]

How long till I can bump my own transcendence?
I want to eat some damn people!:smallannoyed:



:smalltongue:

[Xuincherguixe]

I do endorse the eating of things.

Probably Thursday, assuming you've been approved.

Aurally, the Sun, according the Mythos, doesn't set or rise, it just burns forward, and fades into nothing Like a huge fire in the sky. As for the Portal the sun...it's a portal to the Burning Void. it's more like a manifest zone located at High Noon.

So one just has to reach out....and touch it?

As for Wadledo...the desctruction domain is already in the pending stage, so you'll have to wait for the hunger domain to come in play.

[Maerok]

Does that mean none of the mortals need to eat? Seems sort of like the early ages of man in Greek mythology (anyone read the Hesiod's Theogony or Ovid's Metamorphoses).

So how does the portal work? Or maybe that is a burning question for IC? :smallbiggrin:

Edit: Hmm, so the way Enigma created the sun is such that it keeps burning out but is rekindled everyday. And once every year it opens to the Burning Void to blight, and then rekindle, the world? If that's the situation, then Elimanishon as the guardian would be the one to keep the bonfire going - the creation of night results from the downtime it takes to load it back up again?

Creating it from rage rather than just fire colored Eli's agenda. Barbarians are on that agenda, unless the Enigma or someone else gets to it...

[Innis Cabal]

well there is plant life....and they -are- mortal, so i would say...anything thats not the flameborn need to eat. But there are elves, a homebrewed race and dragons, oh and haflings, so....they perhaps just don't...eat...a...whole lot?

And now ive got this idea of a very surreal situatuion where a guy just sort of stretchs in his tower at the right angle to hit the sun at high noon and POOF in the elemental plane of fire you go

[wadledo]

Cvor-Irtesd and his innumerable children will swarm over creation, devouring all in their path and bringing an end to the pitiful new life that dredges itself out from the minds of these weak gods.
Or possibly just eat some popcorn.

And such was the dawn of Architecture!

[Innis Cabal]

And such was the dawn of Architecture!

And thus....we have found why Wizard hats and towers are so pointy and tall. Not as a male sign of phalic might, but merely to reach the sun...its poetry....

[Xuincherguixe]

Right, the phallic imagery is just in addition to that other stuff.

[Innis Cabal]

Its a class skill, and in several builds, a bonus feat

[Maerok]

A Use Magic Device/Diplomacy/Bluff kind of class skill or a Spot/Listen/Search kind of class skill? :smallcool:

[Innis Cabal]

it can also be used for profession checks. As for which of the other two catagories...that all depends...on your Charisma....and dexterity scores

[Lady Tialait]

Hmmm...so we have long tall towers...that try to go into my warm spot?.....hmmm...no innuendos there..nope...not ITP...NEVER....not even then.

I can say nothing else....

[Draken]

Must... Not... Laugh...

:smallbiggrin:

[tsuuga]

Heh. I was kind of hoping this would die down before half the thread was innuendo... Nice job breaking up the flow, Tialait (I swear, if you hadn't pointed out your name was a palindrome, I wouldn't be able to spell it.)

[Lady Tialait]

Well, half the way, and you got the other half!...wait...heh....innuendo.


anyway, the volcano will be in the largest Oceans. near the middle. not sure exactly where on the map. Any suggestions?

[Innis Cabal]

innuendo makes the world go round, but she did do a good job of busting through it

And the main contenient is pretty....extreme comparitivly, wastes, burned forest's and deserts with mountain's everywhere.

[tsuuga]

Yeah, we'll be getting all up in one another's "bidness" pretty soon...

[Lady Tialait]

Hmmm...I just thought a line for your elves to use when trying to get a date...."I wish to build a wizard's tower to your elemental plane of fire.".....yeah..that'll get you a date.

Remember Kids! Don't do Drugs. (Just pretend you did.)


Also, I was thinking the Burning Forests could be near the Wastes. That way you would see slowly the scenery getting darker and darker. And Enigma kinda picked an area that was kinda lush as he could. I can see Dra...erm Eul picking a place with loads of life for his dark location.

[Innis Cabal]

Also, as of yet i don't think there are any rivers or large bodies of water in the whole of the main-land save for a spattering of oasis's



"I wish to build a wizard's tower to your elemental plane of fire"

thats awful, and it makes me think of a Doors song...which is never a good sign

[Lady Tialait]

thats awful, and it makes me think of a Doors song...which is never a good sign

what Doors song? :smallconfused:

Anyway. When is Alch gunna be back he didn't post yesterday...and that makes a Tialait a sad girl.
