Dawn of World 1 (MOVED TO NEW FORUM)

[Nerre]

Hmm, Well I sort of like the idea of having a central edited map with rough edits by the players, I think it is the best initial approach to this game. I'd like your thoughts on that Nerre...

Sounds good and is better than the GM doing everything.

But I am also sure I shouldn't even try it with this computer at the moment. Which is why I think if your willing to do that You should run the first game.

Ok, than i will GM the first one as the ubergod. Thats how i work =>
I think 5 gods is a good start to keep it balanced.

One turn goes like this:
1 - I update the map. The link is above and won't change. I can't include a svg using IMG, but clicking on the url is no hard job.
2 - I dice your points with 2d6 and add them too your points left from the previous turn. The order of your turns also depends on your dice result each turn.
3 - You post your actions with a picture in the order i posted in 2. Please also name the target hex field number. If you want to change the island shaped like a duck, it would be H18. If you want to change the single one in the middle right at the bottom, it is N5.
4 - I adept your actions to the map and take away the points for the actions.
5 - Next turn. Go to point 1.

I'm in

I shall be the Goddess of the Sea!

(Do you want us to name our gods or just use player names? I don't expect the names to have any meaning, just for fun )

[Taberah]

ooo me I want to join

If were choosing gods, I pick the God of the Silver Flame

Please give your god a name. doesn't matter if it is a function name like Goddess of the sea or Maglubiyet, as long as i can write it. No Lovecraft names like Shriz'fdo'mda'lii'tfo the Devourer. ;D

Here is already the empty basemap. I will draw coastal lines now.

[Dlover]

J'haz, lord of order, reporting in.

[askstoomuch]

i'm in

god of toast and other food ( techicly almost anything is food like all animals and all plants but i mean food as in penutbutter and pizza )

[Taberah]

Ooo a god of order nice. You'll be good company for the silver flame.

[Dlover]

Oh really? last I checked fire wasn't so orderly. It completely fails to wait its turn for anything.

[ThroughTheWell]

ThroughTheWell (TTW): god of TBD... I tend to think that will be revealed organicaly in game. If you insist, god of Mysteries (aka Secrets).

Edit: TBD often means To Be Determined. It is often a placeholder for later replacement.

Edit: What kind of file is a .svg? And how can I look at it? Nevermind. I figured it out.

[Taberah]

Hmm icic good reasoning. I picked fire for different reasons though. Representing Passion, Purity, Protection, etc

And I like the name, comes from an eberron book I think. Don't really know anything about it besides that.

[Dlover]

Well so long as you don't go chaotic Jhaz won't see reason to try smiting you.

Will this have a defined end? I haven't read anything about that. If that's up to us, I vote for no definite end.

[Nerre]

What kind of file is a .svg? And how can I look at it?

Its a scalabel vector graphic and i use no special tool or addon, firefox just shows it. Doesn't it work?

What is TBD? tried to fing with google, it only says "to be defined". ....

[Taberah]

That's good my person doesn't want smited.

Image works for me

[thinkslogically]

I can't view the image on my phone, but that will only be an issue of I'm away from home for a while...

[Nerre]

I can only update during the week and during breaks at work or later in the evening at home. (german time). hope thats ok.

[thinkslogically]

Coolio, sounds ace

[askstoomuch]

so like, how do we win do we kill all the other gods , take over the world have a dance off ...

[Nerre]

The first one holding the duck shaped island for 5 turns wins. No, just kidding.
No, it will ends if the powers get too unbalanced or it's time for something new since the game repeats itself.

i added another link in the top post, pointing to an PNG file. Maybe you can see that on your Iphone or without firefox?

[ThroughTheWell]

I answered some questions above.

It sounds like the 'game' is more about world creation than 'winning'. I'd imagine we'll vote to end it some 10 turns or more into Age 3 when we think the world if mostly done.

Sounds like you are ready to roll dice.

Are we playing plain vanilla, or with any kind of reduced costs in Age 1?

[Nerre]

START

We play without any modifications if that is ment by "vanilla".

The order for your actions and the starting points:

god 5: God of Mysteries (ThroughTheWell) = 12 points
god 4: God of Food (Askstoomuch) = 11 points
god 2: God of the Silver Flame (Taberah) = 9 points
god 3: Jhaz, Lord of Order(Dlover) = 9 points
god 1: Goddess of the Sea (thinkslogically) = 9 points

[Taberah]

I can't wait to create some interesting stuff. ooo it just started *goes to the rule book*

[Dlover]

... So who's with me on being public about our actions? I don't have any secrets to keep.

[thinkslogically]

So do we pm you our moves, or just wait for the others to post until its our turn?

[Taberah]

Personally I want to be public. This is about creating something fun and interesting together don't see a reason to hide stuff.

[askstoomuch]

double that this game confusse me
