Roll to Maintain a World
It took a while for the world to notice that the major gods disappeared. First, prayers stopped being answered. Then the moon and the sun stopped moving. If no one fills the power vacuum in time, the whole world might be destroyed by whatever is causing the disappearance of these gods. Luckily many are vying for control and power. Hopefully, balance can be restored to the world in time.

Worship and Worship tokens
Worship tokens are gained by how many worshippers you have and can be used to perform godly stuff. Anything as intelligent as a snail or above can worship but less intelligent. A small but dedicated cult produces more worship tokens than a small village that isn't as dedicated and a large sprawling civilization produces more than either. However, getting an entire civilization to worship a god is very difficult. Gaining other things worship can be done by interacting with them. Fearing and worshipping have generally the same effect but there are some differences. Fearing is easier to accumulate but harder to spread while worship is harder to accumulate but easier to spread.

Actions
Simple actions are actions that even a mortal can do but aren't talking. Creating objects(that aren't large enough to require many humans to complete) without divine power, travelling/teleporting to known regions that have the sun shining upon them, and fighting are simple actions. You can do 2 simple actions per turn.
Talk actions involve talking and are entirely free, meaning you can do however much as you want, provided you are at the target's location.
Sphere actions are actions that involve your sphere. Sphere actions can be performed equal to the number of epithets that have that sphere. You may use sphere action to boost another action. The booster action rolls a die and adds that amount to the result depending on what it rolled(the number added is under RTD stuff).
You can use worship tokens to take extra sphere actions.
You may use worship tokens to take actions with a sphere that you don't have but are associated with but at a -1 penalty.
Spheres that you are only associated with provide a +1 to your sphere action and cannot stack.
Vessels and Shapeshifting
Vessels are the physical manifestations of gods and can look like anything. Some gods have fragile vessels that can quickly reconstruct while stronger ones take at least a turn to reconstruct.
Vessels have at least 4 stat points but you may choose to sacrifice how quick you are at reconstructing to gain more stats. Your vessel starts at "takes a quarter of a turn to reconstruct" to "takes a third of a turn to reconstruct" and so on. After you reach the "takes one turn to reconstruct" mark, any further sacrificing of your reconstruction will take one more turn. The reconstruction time is also how long it takes to shapeshift. "Takes a quarter of a turn to shapeshift" allows you to shapeshift 4 times.
Vessels also have a trait assigned to them by me depending on their description.
Time
A turn would be a quarter of a day if the sun didn't stop moving.
Calamities
A calamity takes 4 calamity points to happen. But the amount of calamity points can be decreased by fixing the world. A calamity is anything that sort of breaks the world. A calamity point is always gained by the passage of a turn. Calamity points can also be gained by other things. Calamities stop happening once you've destroyed the cause of it.
Feats and Quests
Feats are notable achievements you've made which grant you an epithet. Quests are mortal requests such as answering prayers and could result in granting you a feat.
Epithets
Epithets grants you one sphere that it is most associated with. Other spheres associated with the epithet are considered your associated spheres. Epithets earned from feats also have one trait attached to it.
Spheres
Gods of a location starts with one very specific sphere and one small location while a god of a concept starts with a very specific sphere and one sphere that is a little broader than that(which means two epithets). The location starts out dedicatingly worshiping the god. All gods have a starting location but gods of a location starts at their location. Your highly specific sphere cannot be broken down into a smaller sphere.

Immutable rules:
1. Mutable rules can be changed and deleted
2. Players can add rules
3. Rules are changed and deleted when I update
4. Each player may only add one rule per turn
5. Every time a rule is changed or added, I roll a d6 to determine how well it'll be implemented
6. Player added rules start off as mutable
Mutable rules:
1. The same die I roll to determine how well a rule is implemented will determine how much points the player gets for changing or adding the rule
2. The first player with -100 prestige wins
4. Players may trade -12 points to add a +1 to changing, adding or deleting rules for 3 turns
5. Players can't trade points for fame
6. D6 explode (on a roll of six, roll again thrice and add it to the result)
7. Players can't vote to remove rules and have to remove rules directly
8. If 2 or more players agree that a mutable rule should become immutable, it becomes immutable.
9. Mutable rules become less enthusiastic from overshots, being only in lower case.
10. Players can trade points for prestige at 5 to 1.5.
11. Every time the GM posts a turn, she gains points equal to the total of the die rolls in the turn multiplied by 1.25.
12. A random mutable rule cannot be rerolled at the start of a turn.
13. The player who points out a rules error is awarded 5 points.
14. Players can't spend prestige to gain negative points.
15. There will be no matchup or battle phases

26. Characters gain 1 Hit Point each turn.
27. characters cannot have more than 8 hit points
28. Deleting a rule will also be rolled for using a d6. Failure will result in the rule becoming strengthened and anything less than total success will result in only partial removal or lessening of the rule in question. A 6 would not be total success and would invert the rule.

I was trying to make a vampire fortress in 47.05 but no matter how many times I stabbed the vampire, the dwarves drinking from the well wouldn't turn. Another notable detail is that I had to repaetedly revive the vampire using dfhack. I also use dfhack to check if the dwarves were cursed after they drank from the well, but it just said that there are 0 cursed entities(because my vampire is dead). Is this a problem with how many blood is in the well?
