Old Man Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 The problem with these world creation drafts is that I run out of reactions too quickly. L. Marcus and Psybolt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspected you would try for Something Completely Differerent, and I am not disappointed Dean Shomshak Ironically, one of my favorite things from that draft was that Xarn would be ultimately doomed to never achieve his dark goals thanks to a careful interference. It's a fate Tarsus deserved because he was a jerk! But thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something was afoot. So much divine intent could only mean one thing . . . a world was being birthed! Aziza focused her attention toward a dusty little corner of the cosmos . . .Masque, Rancor, Crax . . . Crax? . . . Nagus Sterling, Nadiya, Oeneus, Ceass, Alitheon, Strangecharm. Big sibling Etterskell! What a motley crew to undertake such a thing. Someone would have to ensure everyone properly reflected on their decisions . . .

Cancer Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 (edited) From the scattered remnants of the cataclysm of creation, sparks and embers coalesce, reinforce themselves, and take on an Identity that looms formlessly through all of the physical cosmos. Not really assembled in a cohesive whole, the Entity accepts a name for Itself from among those names used for some of Its aspects by the first sophonts in the young world, those who first learned to contain bits of It and use It for comfort and craft, yet never really held It in control. Thoal-Anni'in is that name, and Thoal-Anni'in is the God of Fire. Edited July 4, 2023 by Cancer Logan D. Hurricanes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

death tribble Posted July 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 I will blitz likes on one person so that they win the day. I did that last year and will do so again this year. So don't worry if I have yet to Like the ideas and posts, I am awaiting the tipping point so that each participant gets enough likes to 'win the day'. Welcome back Enforcer84.

assault Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 (edited) I can see this being quite a tactical game this year. A God of Illumination and a Fire God? Hmm. Clearly not the same thing. Edited July 4, 2023 by assault Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted I went overboard with the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csyphrett Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 In this multiple world, only Clarkent Kal stands up for champions, adventurers, delvers, and anyone who wants to chase a dream for the greater good. If you are a paladin for the good, fighting a lost cause, putting down a lich in a crypt, and have a cleric to call him, maybe you too can be uplifted by the God of Heroes. CES L.

death tribble Posted July 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 I can see several alliances and legends forming. Murder and Hatred are an obvious team up but maybe also Murder and Strife and/or Strife and Hatred. Or an Axis of Evil Hatred, Strife and Murder ? Illumination may team up with Hope to counter the bad guys. But where does Intrigue go ? Certainly I can see Hope and Strife playing off each other and mayhaps a legend where Murder tries to kill Hope ? Be Warned I have had the idea for Murder since the last draft and was inspired by something that happened in the book series the Malazan Book of the Fallen. Crax is going to do something unspeakable, not to the Gods, but to the world. Your mission should you choose to accept it is to try to do something about it. It cannot be reversed but something can be done about it. Bonus choices are available as a reward. We now have 13 players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

death tribble Posted July 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 (edited) Look IF you are going to do it, do it seriously. Pick a portfolio like Love or War but something somebody else is not doing. Look at what other people like Hermit and Old Man are doing, the depth of information they are putting in and the images. That is what you have to compete against and compliment. Remember this is a team event. All the gods are linked. If you do not think you can do it, fine. Watch and enjoy. Don't do it to be cool or point score. Sociotard is the only person possibly missing. Edited July 4, 2023 by death tribble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 Thoal-Anni'in has no quarrel with Its sibling Alitheon, despite what might appear to be incipient jealousies due to overlap of influences. It has Its own designs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death tribble Posted July 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 Secondary Domain: Evil Yeah, murder is evil. Other gods can also be evil but I was just making the point. I will be making later choices after others have made their choices as I have said that Crax is younger than some of the sentient races.

Logan D. Hurricanes Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 Once again, this plays with this world’s timeline a little bit. Such is a demigod’s lot in life. Nagus Sterling, the Lord of Longing, was restless as he watched the people below. They were so… inefficient. So random. And so wasteful! They needed a little guidance, the kind he was uniquely qualified to give. He knew where it would lead eventually, of course (he was a god after all), but it was all a part of the game. Nagus Sterling’s Gift to Civilization is Commerce, money and the knowledge of its use in buying, selling, and the whole field of exchange. Thanks to Etterskell’s influence the world was blessed with multiple currencies scattered throughout the realm, different states, different races, even different cities claimed their own. This created confusion. It would be so much simpler to generate a single system, but confusion would be so much easier to exploit.

death tribble Posted July 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 Just to note for Logan Destructive Hurricanes. When I am posting the updates with what gods there are etc, you will be abbreviated to Logan. I much prefer Logan Destructive Hurricanes but to keep formatting on the document, Logan is much easier.

Cancer Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 Thoal-Anni'in, Lord of Fire, defines the geometry of this world, to suit It and Its Domain. The World is shaped as a cylinder, and its inhabited portion is the inner surface of a right circular cylinder. How thick the wall of the cylinder may be is left unspecified, for the sages living on that world to speculate and reason about; it could be that the wall is infinitely thick, and that the entire universe is solid, but for the tubular opening in which the mortals of the world live. For what is better for Fire ... than a chimney? Pattern Ghost and Pariah 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DShomshak Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 (edited) No joy without a chance of sorrow Today does not ensure tomorrow Trouble's sure, no need to borrow Because the world is broken. The foolish overcome the clever The best-laid plans are certain, never Your life a careless act can sever Because the world is broken. But evil luck's no cause to grumble: Braggarts oft invite a tumble. Remember even gods can stumble! Your enemies can also fumble, Vaunting schemes a fallen jumble: That's just the way all cookies crumble Because the world is broken. No one escapes the power of chance, And sad or happy circumstance, So grin and shrug as you advance And claim your pratfall as your dance! Because the world is broken. --A Psalm to Etterskell Secondary Domain: Accidents Etterskell didn't mean to break the world. It was an accident. That act made accidents a fundamental part of the new world, which no one can protect against completely. This does not rule out the possibility of a God of Fate as at least a secondary domain. It may be that some accidents serve a greater plan. But it will take a God to make it so.
