Bay 12 Games Forum

The Mortal Plane: The plane where the world exists. The playground of all that lives above. From the mortal plane, divine realms appear as special constellations. To enter the Mortal Plane, a divine being must Incarnate.


The Divine Plane: The plane where most divine beings dwell, from whence they interact with the Mortal Plane. Each resident of the Divine Plane got a realm of its own, which is their home. Mortal life cannot persist very long in the Divine Plane without the help of a divine being.


The Other Plane: A maze-like plane home to the Other Ones, so complex that the Other Ones themselves have great difficulty navigating in it. They each got a realm of their own there, and finding one without the help of its respective owner is a close to impossible task.

Non-Playable Classes:
Primordial Ones: Creators of universes, they are the only ones able to generate new universes. They are extremely rare, and the subject of legends among other divine beings. They are the supreme existences of the multiverse.


Titanic Ones: Great world creators, wielders of primeval powers vastly surpassing the power of the gods. Titanic Ones are born when a universe is created by a Primordial One, they rise from the big bang of creation and the formation of its universe very laws. Mortals like to call them Titans.


Playable Classes:
Greater Ones: Varied and powerful, greater ones are all the powerful beings born under the Law of the Primordial Ones. Some are fathered by Titanic Ones and Greater Ones, while some are just created naturally by a universe. They are able to shape reality, and each and every one of them wield vastly different powers. They interact with the mortal plane from the divine plane. Mortals like to call them Gods.

+ Can sire demigods
+ Can choose a specialization: Creation, Destruction and Rule Making
+ Can Incarnate for no drawback


Other Ones: Greater Ones who conceptually rejected the Law of the Primordial Ones before they were even created by a universe. By doing so, they alienated themselves from the multiverse, and became an incomprehensible force. Their very presence and powers tend to warp the normal reality of a world, but being near a world under the Law is painful to them. As such, they generally interact from afar, specifically from the Other Plane. Mortals like to call them Eldritch Abominations.

+ Innate reality warping
+ Creations are innately eldritch
+ Unique specialization: Alteration
+ Dwell in the Other Plane
- Unable to sire demigods
- Incarnate Cost Doubled
- All costs increased when Incarnated


Demi-Gods: Beings born from the union of a Greater One and a Mortal. Some are no different than long lived mortals, while others have powers surpassing that of other Divine Ones. As beings of mixed blood, they have an easier time interacting with both mortal planes and divine planes.

+ Incarnate Cost halved
+ Can sire heroes
+ Power costs reduced
- No specialization


Ascended Ones: Legendary Mortals who transcended their mortality, and attained power equal to that of a Greater One. As pure blooded mortals, they have no problem interacting with the mortal world, but have difficulties interacting with the divine.

+ No Incarnate Cost
+ Power costs reduced
+ Can set up a 'realm' in the Mortal Plane
+ Can sire mortals
- Act costs increased
- No starting divine realm
- No specialization

Note: All of these entities rarely manage to have offspring of the same class as them.

Servants: Loyal and dutybound to their creator, Servants have many uses. Mortals like to call them Angels. There are great stories of fallen servants out there too.

Monsters: Wild incarnations of cataclysms, these powerful creatures are created by Greater Ones. They are much harder to control than Servants, which also mean they act independently.

Abominations: Twisted incarnations of nonsense, these dreadful creatures are created by Other Ones. They are impossible to control, even for their creators.

Heroes: Powerful mortals who rose beyond their kin through divine help or some other means. It is said some heroes managed to kill gods themselves.

Mortals: Living beings blessed (or cursed, as it tends to turn them poor playthings) with a Soul, which allow them to generate Acts for the gods to reap. Yes, unless said so, puppies have no souls in this universe.

Each creation has a creator. By default, the creator is the owner of its creation. Ownership can be transfered, or even stolen. The latter mean is rather ungentlemanly, and will definitely heat things up.

Gods can feel when something under their Ownership is being/going to be fiddled with by another God.

Transfering ownership is free. There is no shared ownership. Stealing the ownership of a creation usually cost half the creation cost rounded up, if everything goes well (note: it won't).

Ownership grants cost reduction when blessing, cursing and altering a creation.

Minor Acts are meant to represent actions that don't require any Power/Act expenditure for an Incarnated God.

1 Act is roughly equivalent to 2 Minor Acts.

The joys of the extraplanar
Plane Stuff: [Must be paid in Acts]
Incarnating/Deincarnating: 2 Acts
Package stuff for Plane Transport: Half of Act Cost rounded up [Require Ownership]
Projecting into another Plane: 1 Act
Communicating with another Plane: 1 Minor Act


The Big Guns, often
Disasters/Blessings:
5 Acts: Major Global [Must be paid in Acts]
3 Acts: Major Regional / Minor Global
1 Act: Minor Regional / Major Localized
Minor Act: Minor Localized

On the class of Disasters.
Major disasters cannot be resisted by mortals by any non-divine means, only heroes will be able to resist it.
Minor disasters can be resisted by mortals, and shouldn't affect heroes.

If a Blessing and a Disaster are opposing, the higher class one will override the other. If they are of the same class, lady luck will decide who override the other and where.


Annoyingly fragile
Creation of Life:
5 Acts: A Greater Monster or a Greater Abomination. [Must be paid in Acts]
3 Acts: A population of creatures with an innate Soul: Mortals.
3 Acts: A Monster or an Abomination.
1 Act: A handful of creatures with an innate Soul: Mortals.
Minor Act: A small population of plants or mundane animals.
Minor Act: A handful of magical/complex plants or animals.

Handful to Small Population: +1 Act
Small Population to Population: +1 Act


Slaves, always 
Creation of Servants:
5 Acts: A Greater Servant with powers rivaling a demi-god. [Must be paid in Acts]
3 Acts: A Servant with powers on the level of heroes.
2 Acts: An army of Lesser Servants.
1 Act: A group of Lesser Servants.
Minor Act: A Lesser Servant, with power above common mortals.


Dirt, generally
Landmark Creation:
Natural > Artificial > Magical
Start from 0, add 2 each time.
A Natural landmark is a landmark that could have formed naturally.
An Artificial landmark is a landmark that should never have been able to form naturally. (a city for example)
A Magical landmark is a landmark that could never have been able to form naturally, or artificially. Typically that means this landmark has a System bound to it.

Local > Small Region > Region > Country > Continent > World
Start from 0, add 1.

Example:
A normal Continent is a Natural Continent. Cost 4 Acts. Having it be Magical would cost 6 Acts.

Fancy items, usually
Artifacts:
8 Acts: A global Divine-class Artifact. Can affect gods. Global Range. [Must be paid in Acts]
6 Acts: A regional Divine-class Artifact. Can affect gods. Regional Range. [Must be paid in Acts]
4 acts: A regional Heroic-class Artifact. Can affect all non-Divine beings. Regional Range.
1 acts: A Personal Magic-class Artifact. Can affect all living beings up to mortals, and stronger beings to some extent. Personal range.
Minor Act: A handful of Mundane-Class Artifact. An item with no powers whatsoever.

Personal > Localized > Regional
Add +1 Act to the base cost to increase an artifact's range. Mundane artifacts are locked into Personal range.

Mundane > Magic > Heroic
Add +1 Act to the base cost.

Only Divine-class artifacts can affect the whole world.

Magic, typically
Laws: [Greater Laws and above must be paid in Acts]
5 Acts: A System affecting the whole world.
3 Acts: Create or Erase a System affecting a region of the world.
3 Acts: Create or Erase a Greater Law affecting the whole world.
2 Acts: Create or Erase a Greater Law affecting a continent of the world.
1 Act: Create or Erase a Greater Law affecting a region of the world.
1 Act: Create or Erase a Lesser Law affecting the whole world.
Minor Act: A Lesser Law affecting a small localized area.

As a rule, Greater Laws override Lesser Laws if they come into conflict. A System is a special set of Laws bound together. A System will override a single Greater Law. If there is conflict between Laws of same grade, they will naturally spread equally across the world/region they affect.

Divine non-persistent actions are on a class of their own, and will override Laws. If a god wants to make it rain frog, it will rain frog no matter what the world has to say in the matter. Only another divine action can counteract one.

Example: Two worldwide Greater Laws: water is blue and water is green. In some parts of the world water will be blue, while in other parts it will be green.

In some universe in some galaxy with many spacefaring species (humans included), what else to do but buy a ship and escape from the grasp of gravity?

There will be at least two kind of rolls in this game: Event Rolls and Action Rolls.

Event Rolls will follow the basic RTD system:
[1]: Critical Failure [Very Bad]
[2]: Failure [Bad]
[3]: Mild Success [Okay]
[4]: Success [Good]
[5]: Critical Success [Very Good]
[6]: Overshoot [OH MY GOODNESS]

Actions Rolls will be affected by modifiers:
Mod - Crit Fail - Failure   -    Okay   -  Success  -  Critical - Overshoot

A sequel/reboot of the previous game Legacy of the Protearchs, which ended rather abruptly because of players actions...

This is just a God Game with lot of freedom. Use an RTD and resource system.

Rules :
Non automatic-success actions will be rolled according to basic Roll to Dodge rules with a slight variation to [1] and [6] :
[1] Overfail, the action fails so strongly that unexpected results occurs,
[2] Fail, the action fails,
[3] Partial Success, the action slightly succeeded,
[4] Success, the action succeeded,
[5] Epic Success, the action succeeded, exceeding expectations,
[6] Overshot, the action succeeded so strongly that unexpected results occurs,
For [1] and [6] rolls, a second dice will be rolled.
If the result is between 1 and 3, the action unexpected result is crippling. (basically an Epic Fail)
If the result is between 4 and 6, the action unexpected result is beneficial. (basically an Epic Success)

Of course, simple actions may not require a roll depending on the situation.

Creation roll :
Creation will always succeed, but the result will be determined by a d4 roll.
[1] Something went wrong. Your creation comes out far differently from what you intended.
[2] Normal Success
[3] Normal Success
[4] Great success. Your creation comes out better than what you intended.

Some very hard or dangerous actions will instead require a d6 roll that won't use the traditional RTD system :
[1] It couldn't go wronger even if you tried...
[2] Something went wrong.
[3] Slight unexpected disturbances.
[4] Success
[5] Good Success
[6] Great Success

Turns :
There will be main turns and sub-turns. Main turns will be warned beforehand by a Timeskip.

-Timeskip:
During a Timeskip, all Gods creations will get rolls to determine how they developed, if they went extinct or dominated their environment.

Typically, non sapient species will only get a Survival Roll.

Sapient species will get more rolls, the main ones being :
-Survival Roll: How well or bad the species strived
-Economy Roll: How is the economical standing of the species' civilization (access to resources, richesses…)
-Society Roll: How did their society developed. Are they united, scattered ?
-Culture Roll: How weak or strong is the culture of the species
-Religion Roll: How they see religion. Are they atheist, fanatics ?
-Technology Roll: How they developed technology-wise.
-Relationship Rolls: Their relationships with the other nearby species.

There are two resources. Energy and Ether.
■ Using your powers will consume Energy.
■ Creating something out of nothing, will consume Ether and Energy.
■ Fiddling with life will always consume Ether.
■ Creating something related to your sphere will reduce the Ether cost.
■ You recover passively Ether and Energy after each Timeskip and passively/actively during sub-turns under certain conditions. For now, they are hidden, but they will be revealed during play.
■ When you reach 0 Energy, you enter the Exhausted state. You can't do an action requiring Energy for the next sub-turn, but you will recover Energy.
■ You can convert Ether into Energy : 1 to 100. Not the other way around.

Creation :
-Creating life :
■ Specify the name of the being/species, it's shape if you want and some peculiar properties.
■ Add powers, special properties, etc… by consuming additional Ether.
■ NEW Specify the SIZE of the individuals ! This will determine "Initial Physical Traits" slots.
>Small: 1 slot
>Medium [Default]: 2 slots
>Big: 4 slots
>Very Big: 6 slots
>Giant: 10 slots

■ NEW Specify the INTELLIGENCE of the individuals ! This will determine "Initial Mental Traits" slots.
>Dumb: 1 slot
>Normal [Default]: 2 slots
>Smart: 3 slots
>Very Smart: 5 slots
>Genius: 8 slots

■ What are "Initial Traits" ? Those are simply traits that will be cheaper. Adding more traits than Initial Traits will cost increasingly more.

Note: If you don't specify, I will take the [Default] option.

Name: Kangoose Snailfin
Description: Use your imagination here !
Size: Medium
Intelligence: Normal
Traits :
-Physical:
I : Sturdy Skin
I : Capable of Flight
A1 : Acidic Spit
A2 : Resistant to Fire

-Mental:
I : Know basic Y magic
I : Innate Knowledge of weapons
A3 : Gifted in dance

-Creating a new world (Planet-type world, Plane-type world, etc...)
■ Creating a new world is no easy task. A world must possess a Heart made of Ether to be able to sustain any kind of life.
■ Creating a new world will require a titanic amount of Energy and Ether, it will probably require the help of many Gods to be pulled off early.

■ By consuming half of your Ether Capacity, you will "gain a level", increasing your Energy/Ether limits, and your Energy/Ether recovery.
■ A higher Divinity Class gives you bonuses against gods of lesser divinity stage.
■ Do note that upon reaching higher stages, the leveling cost may increase or change radically.

Important :
*If no matter is available in sufficient amount, costs are multiplied by 10.

Only cost Energy usually. Depend on size of zone modified.

-Small Area Modification (Local) : 100 [Example: Lake, City]

-Medium Area Modification (Local~Regional) : 500 [Example: Island, Single Mountain, Hills]

-Large Area Modification (Regional) : 2000 [Example: Mountain Range, Sea]

-Continent Raising / Continental Sized : 6000 minimum

-Earth-sized planet : 200000 (Body) and 10000 (Core)

Important :
*If no matter is available in sufficient amount, costs are multiplied by 10.

-Normal Being : 10 / 1
-Sapient Being : 10 / 10
-Modify Being : [Use Individual Cost as Base Cost]

-Being's Size :
>Small: x0.5
>Medium [Default]: x1
>Big: x2
>Very Big: x3
>Giant: x4

-Being Innate Intelligence :
>Dumb: x0.5 Base Ether Cost
>Normal [Default]: x1 Base Ether Cost
>Smart: x2 Base Ether Cost
>Very Smart: x3 Base Ether Cost
>Genius: x4 Base Ether Cost

-Traits Costs :
>Normal : +[0.2xBase Cost] per property [Exemple: Acidic Saliva, Strong Hide, Super Strength, etc...]
>Lesser Magical  : +[0.5xBase Cost] per property [Exemple: Use lesser magic, Immune to fire, etc...]
>Greater Magical : +[3xBase Cost] per property [Exemple: Innately use magic with great skill, Resistant to Lesser Magic...]
>Beyond Mortality : +[5xBase Cost] per property [Exemple: Ageless]
>Increasing Size or Intelligence after creation : Total Cost xSize/Intelligence Multiplier
>Adding Trait beyond Initial : +[0.1xBase Cost] per added traits. (0.1 for the first, 0.2 for the second, 0.3 for the third, etc...)

-Number of being created default to 10.

An Artifact can have a "Specialization Type". If the Type of the Artifact suits your own Specialization, it will be cheaper.
*See Specializations Section for more infos

Like a living being, an Artifact Cost is separated in [Base Cost] + [Bonus].

Base Cost:
-[Energy]=[SizeCost], [Ether]=0.2*[Energy]
-Exception: Artifact useable by a God = 2000 / 100 [Shape will adapt to the God]
-Add additional Energy to increase its Energy reserve. This additional Base Energy varies a lot depending on the purpose of the Artifact.

Bonus :
-Can Affect Gods : x2 Base Cost
-Lesser Magical  : +[0.5xBase Cost] per property [Exemple: Use lesser magic, Immune to fire, etc...]
-Greater Magical : +[3xBase Cost] per property [Exemple: Innately use magic with great skill, Resistant to Lesser Magic...]
-Beyond Mortality : +[5xBase Cost] per property [Exemple: Ageless]

Sapient Artifact Case:
A Sapient Artifact is treated like a living being, and the "Rank" of its perks is downgraded. For example, a Greater Magical perk for a mortal will equate to a Lesser Magical perk for the Artifact.
Sapient/Living Artifacts can't reproduce no matter what. Be aware of this fact.

Example :

Name: God Tickling Feather
Description: A Feather
Total Cost:

Base : 2000 / 100
Trait:
-Can Affect God x2 Base
-Contact cause tickling and uncontrollable laugher +Half Base

Wounds and Healing :
When you are wounded, you can use Energy to heal the wound. As simple as that.
When you are wounded, you will suffer from penalties depending on the gravity of your wounds. It may not appear as directly as a Roll malus, but it will be clearly felt.

Against a mortal :
Mortals stand no chance against divine beings, all actions coming from a god against a mortal are automatic success.

Keep in mind it doesn't mean mortals will do your whim as you order them. When mortals take independent action or make choices, they get their own roll.

Against a divine entity :
When fighting or opposing a divine entity, all involved gods will get rolls to determine success of offense/defense.

Divine beings can only be harmed through Energy, or by striking them with your True Form.

Energy can be consumed to create a temporary weapon or unleash a powerful attack on another god.
Blocking or resisting an attack will consume Energy.
Dodging is possible, but failure will result in much more damage than if you tried to block or resist.

Being Exhausted, or Critically Wounded or worse will result in roll malus.

"Attributes" :
This is a new mechanic that wasn't in the precedent game.

Now, depending on their form, Gods can have bonus in the following traits :
-Creation: Creating/Altering physical objects/creatures
-Destruction: Destroying physical objects/creatures
-Law Creation: Ability to create laws of the world
-Law Alteration: Ability to fiddle with laws of the world
-Influence: Ability to influence sapient species behavior
-Teaching: Imparting knowledge to sapient species
-Offense: Inflicting damage to other gods or powerful entities
-Defense: Warding off attacks from gods or powerful entities

Changing Form :
Changing Form consume 5% of your Energy, and will make you vulnerable during combat.

Bonuses :
Creation
-Reduce costs for creating/altering
-Increase roll effectiveness when opposing a Destruction
-Decrease Creation Artifacts cost [example: a magical bucket that create infinite soapy water]

Destruction
-Increase Energy/Ether recovered when consuming something
-Increase roll effectiveness when Destruction is opposed
-Decrease Destruction Artifacts cost [example: a broom whose strikes make matter turns to dust -does not affect gods, or it would become an Offensive Artifact-]

Law Creation
-Reduce costs for creating Laws
-Increase Law resistance to Alteration by another Entity
-Allow to give a Law rank to created law : 1: Medium, 2: Superior, 3:Greater, and 4:Major
-Decrease Law Creation Artifacts cost [Such artifacts may not actually be possible. Law can only be created by Divine Beings]

Law Alteration
-Reduce costs for altering Laws
-Decrease Law resistance to Alteration
-Decrease Law Alteration Artifacts cost [example: a magical pen that can rewrite the effects of spells of a given magic law]

Influence
-Increase roll effectiveness when Influencing lesser beings [As in under Divine]
-Increase your Influence resistance when another Influence conflicts your own.
ex: God A says to a people that apples are good for their health. God B says the opposite.
> Conflict and rolls, but with Influence bonuses applied [apple-ied]
-Decrease Influence Artifacts cost [example: a mirror that influence the thoughts of beings -If affect Gods, become Offensive-]

Teaching
-Increase roll effectiveness when Teaching lesser beings [They will remember better, may understand better what you said, etc...]
-Increase your Teachings resistance when another Teaching conflicts your own.
-Decrease Teaching Artifacts cost [example: a book that fills the user with specific knowledge]

Offense
-Increase Offensive rolls effectiveness
-Decrease Offensive actions Energy cost
-Decrease Offensive Artifacts cost [Any artifact that can negatively affect a god is considered Offensive. If an Artifact is both Offensive and Defensive, Offensive has priority]

Defense
-Increase Defensive rolls effectiveness
-Decrease Defensive actions Energy cost
-Decrease Defensive Artifacts cost [Any artifact that can ward off against a God's power is considered Defensive. If an Artifact is both Offensive and Defensive, Offensive has priority]

Ether is the unique substance created from the Protearchs and all their creations. It is the basis of the soul, of sentient and sapient life.

Souls :
Souls are made of Ether. A Soul possesses all the information about a being, its memories, what it is, and more.
Ether is also the source of the particular powers of mortals that can't be replicated through technology.

Ether also ward off against the ever-present Void, allowing Protearchs creations to strive and exist.

Void is the substance of nothingness. It fills unborn universes, and the "place" that separate these universes. This place is called the Interstice, and is very dangerous to cross to every beings bar Protearchs and other powerful Entities.

There are entities wielding Void as a power.

Major Laws are unalterable laws, no matter what you do. Only Protearchs could modify them, and they would require a majority vote.

Time:
-Time is a unique river flowing in a riverbed with infinite paths.
-Present is the Edge of the river. Past is the water of the river. Future is the empty riverbed.
-Past and Future exists as information, so no Time-Travel is possible.
-Time Flow can be Slowed or Accelerated in local places. Gods can be affected, but they possess the ability to see the True Flow, as in the natural flow of Time, and have a separate consciousness always synchronized with the True Flow.

Space:
-Space can be visualized as threads forming the tridimensional space we know of. Connecting point of space to create portals is possible.

Souls:
-Souls act following specific rules.
-Upon death of an individual, the Soul will return to its Creator(s), transmitting information and a portion of Ether. A portion of this Ether will be absorbed by the world the being live in, to feed the Heart.
-Creators can control access to the Souls. They can choose to prevent the World from taking it, or allow/prevent the souls from going to a god. The decisions of the original Creator of a being will overrule all other Creators rule.

-If you have a question, ask the GM ! I will gladly answer.

Hello ! After reading some God Games, I became really interested into making one. So here it is.

You are a group of divine entities. Your precursors, the Protearchs, created the World you are in and fused with it.
Now, it is up to you to fill it and fulfill your destiny. And maybe more…

Rules :
Non automatic-success actions will be rolled according to basic Roll to Dodge rules with a slight variation to [1] and [6] :
[1] Overfail, the action fails so strongly that unexpected results occurs,
[2] Fail, the action fails,
[3} Partial Success, the action slightly succeeded,
[4] Success, the action succeeded,
[5] Epic Success, the action succeeded, exceeding expectations,
[6] Overshot, the action succeeded so strongly that unexpected results occurs,
For [1] and [6] rolls, a second dice will be rolled.
If the result is between 1 and 3, the action unexpected result is crippling. (basically an Epic Fail)
If the result is between 4 and 6, the action unexpected result is beneficial. (basically an Epic Success)

Of course, simple actions may require a roll depending on the situation.

Creation roll :
Creation will always succeed, but the result will be determined by a d4 roll.
[1] Something went wrong. Your creation comes out far differently from what you intended.
[2] Normal Success
[3] Normal Success
[4] Great success. Your creation comes out better than what you intended.

Turns :
There will be main turns and sub-turns. Main turns will be warned beforehand by a Timeskip.

There are two resources. Energy and Ether.
■ Using your powers will consume Energy.
■ Creating something out of nothing, will consume Ether and Energy.
■ Fiddling with life will always consume Ether.
■ Creating something related to your sphere will reduce the Ether cost.
■ You recover passively Ether and Energy after each Timeskip and passively/actively during sub-turns under certain conditions. For now, they are hidden, but they will be revealed during play.
■ When you reach 0 Energy, you enter the Exhausted state. You can't do an action requiring Energy for the next sub-turn, but you will recover Energy.
■ You can convert Ether into Energy : 1 to 100. Not the other way around.

Creation :
-Creating life :
■ Specify the name of the being/species, it's shape if you want and some peculiar properties.
■ Add powers, special properties, etc… by consuming additional Ether.

■ By consuming half of your Ether Capacity, you will "gain a level", increasing your Energy/Ether limits, and your Energy/Ether recovery. Furthermore your maximum size will also increase, and some powers/perks may or may not be unlocked depending on GM mood.

Area Modification :
Only cost Energy usually. Depend on size of zone modified.
-Small Area Modification (Local) : 100
-Medium Area Modification (Local~Regional) : 500
-Large Area Modification (Regional) : 2000

Living Beings : note that those are not all the possible costs of course.
-Normal Being : 200 / 10
-Sapient Being : 2000 / 100
-Modify Normal Being : 100 / 5
-Modify Sentient Being : 1000 / 50
-Adding special property : add 1.2 of base creation cost.
> Warning. Depending on the kind of special property, the cost may increase.
-Small Group (max 10) : modifier x1
-Medium Group (max 100) : modifier x5
-Large Group (100-500) : modifier x10
-Normal Body Size (smaller than an Elephant) : modifier x1
