Bay 12 Games Forum

Since 'Roll to Forge the World' is not very demanding at the moment , I decided I might as well run a similar game myself.

We will start off with an empty water-covered planet, a dead moon and an ever-vigilant sun.  I will describe everything as well as I can and elaborate as needed.  And, in the beginning at least, give some objectives; just to get things up and running.
I will attempt to maintain a rate of one turn per day, but Tuesdays and Thursdays are difficult. I am at GMT+2 and intend to update in the evenings.  We'll see how that works out.

Current prototype rules are as follows:

1. An action is specified in bold orange.
2. Try to be creative and descriptive.  You can summarize your action at the end of the post if you like.
3. If you post more than one action in the same turn, the last posted one overrides the others. (Only if this would make sense)
4. An action always involves a region.
5. A deity normally gets one action per turn.
6. An action may not affect something created during that same turn.
7. A deity may use their action for a 'direct assist'.  They roll a die and the assisted one's roll is moved one step closer to that roll, unless it was a 1/6, which modifies it -1/+1.
8. The actions will be performed in an order of my choosing; usually in backwards posted order.
9. Speaking is free and thus not an action, and only deities may post in the game thread.
10. All deities are kind-of omniscient, so even if they are colluding in private, the others must at least know that something is up.  Please include me in such PM collusions, so that I can include them in my GM planning.

Rules about faith points will be decided later.

For each action, I will roll a six-sided die:

[1] I get to corrupt your action in accordance with certain secret rules.
[2] You succeed, but I add an exploitable flaw.
[3] You succeed, but not as well as you hoped.
[4] You succeed.
[5] You succeed in an extra good way.
[6] You overdo it.  Extra consequences ensue.

As you can see, even though you usually succeed, the odds are stacked against you.  This should keep things interesting.
