CREATOR OF WORLDS Posts: 290 Group: Swablus and Cirnos Member #35 Joined: Jan 18, 2012	So, my fellow RPers, I've been holding onto the rules for this game for a while hoping to find a way to actually use this with people... and now I think I might have found a way! It's called Dawn of Worlds--all you do is play God with a group of people and create a world and its history. Just a quick summary of what we'd need if people wanted to actually play: --A dedicated map-drawer (I may be able to do this, but if someone else wanted to, they would have to almost consistently scan and rescan the basic outlines and re-draws of our world) --A dedicated historian (I'd be more than happy to do this if no one else wants to volunteer--I get a real kick out of this stuff for some reason...) --A few players (at least three, possibly more--like up to six) that would fill in the role of the GODS. GODS/GODDESSES Suwako Moriya (aka LeviLamprey) Creator of the Suwako Maidens that inhabit the Frog Ponds in the Central Plains, who embody the very meaning of "culture". With no cities to call their own, the Maidens have created a shrine dedicated to Moriya, where they spend their time frolicking amongst themselves. The Dreamer (aka Madotsuki) Creator of the Toriningen, who reside in the cities of Magicant and Fade. Following in the footsteps of their patron deity, the Toriningen pride themselves on their command of logic and order. As of now, the Toriningen are the only race with a command of magical abilities, although the Dreamer may extend that knowledge to the Satori through the formation of the Guild of the Clouded Sunset. The Deadbeat Maiden (aka Sylvie) Creator of the Corsola, who reside in the cities of Rayon Reef and Wiwaxia Abyss. These water-dwelling creatures have created a home near the World Tree, in the river that surrounds its base. The White Corsola, a sub-race that has expanded to Wiwaxia Abyss, pride themselves in their advance weapon-forging techniques, despite the fact that they live underwater. The Corsola of Rayon Reef are thrilled with their discovery of advanced medicine, and with their (somewhat) organized forces have begun to mobilize. The Enigma (aka DKHTP) Creator of the Whimsicott, who reside in the cities of Whimsopolis and Obsidian. Under the guidance of their intrepid (and somewhat insane) leader, simply named Roosevelt, they aim to explore the entire wide world, taking in the sights and playing a few pranks along their journey. The Seeker (aka Zeta Koishi) Creator of the Satori, who reside in the cities of Zenthi'th and Nair. A race of mind-readers, the Satori have come across a deposit of metal, helping to pursue the feats of engineering that they could only dream of. POWER CHART (Quick Reference) Shape Land -- This power directs the creation, modification, or erosion of mountains, hills, lakes, streams, rivers, forests, jungles, deserts, grasslands, tundra, steppes, and other land forms. On the game map, this power allows the creation of land forms within a 1 inch diameter area. Roughly. Using this power repeatedly can create whole ranges of mountains, inland seas, or vast wastelands. (3 Points, 5 Points, 8 Points) Shape Climate -- This power directs weather patterns that are frequent in a rough 1" area, like fog, rain, snow, sun, heat, cold, sleet. (2 Points, 4 Points, 6 Points) Create Race -- This power effects the creation of one of the traditional races for player characters in your game system, or other classic fantasy races. Races and civilizations are often interchangeable. You may, for example, have more than one race of dwarves, each with its own unique civilization and government. Each race must be given a starting point in the world where they begin to build their civilization, (or lack thereof.) Races start either neutral, or aligned 1 good or -1 evil. (22 Points, 6 Points, 15 Points) Create Subrace -- This power is used for the creation of splinter groups from an existing race. These must arise in territory roughly adjacent to their ancestors, and may or may not start out getting along with their neighbors. Dark elves, deep dwarves, human pirates and the like are the subject of this power. (12 Points, 4 Points, 10 Points) Command Race -- By this power, the priests of the gods influence a race to action. Cities are founded with this power, but it can be used for just about anything. An immortal must first establish his presence by creating sects within the race before influencing them via create order. The creator(s) of the race gets this sect automatically. This power may be used for starting wars, founding cities, making alliances, settling territory, etc. Of course, you need an army to declare war... (8 Points, 4 Points, 3 Points) Command City -- Here, the god directs one single city to create something. This can be a wonder, wall, school, tower, or the like. Armies too are created with this power, though any given city may only produce one army in a given turn. (6 Points, 4 Points, 2 Points) Advance City / Civilization -- This power causes the City or Civilization to gain expert knowledge of a given science or magic. These might include war magic, healing, warfare, steel, weapon smithing, sailboats, writing, literacy, engineering, architecture, farming, or the like. So long as that city or civilization persists, it will always be the greatest in this field. (10 Points, 5 Points, 6 Points for Civilization; 8 Points, 4 Points, 5 Points for City) Purify / Corrupt -- Here, gods go about changing general alignment of a civilization, city, or a one inch region of landscape by one step per turn. Unless the game master or author directs otherwise, there is no limit to how far this can go. (Purify Civ +1: 5 Points, 3 Points, 4 Points; Corrupt Civ -1: 4 Points, 3 Points, 3 Points; Purify City +1: 4 Points, 3 Points, 3 Points; Corrupt City -1: 3 Points, 2 Points, 2 Points) Event -- Through this power come the changing of fortunes for an Avatar, Order, City, or Civilization. A gold mine may be found, a storm at sea may strike a fleet, an Avatar may escape death, plague, famine, drought may strike, or technologies may be lost. These are the great, unplanned winds of fortune that blow through the history of the world. (10 Points, 7 Points, 9 Points) Create Order -- By this power, the god creates an order of people within a civilization or race. These may include thieves' guilds, religious sects (see command race,) orders of knights, bands of brigands, pirate ships, etc. These orders may last indefinitely or be created for a particular purpose, such as the extermination a sect or opposing race. It is vital to keep track of who created a given order, as the cost to command them can vary. (8 Points, 6 Points, 4 Points) Command Order -- Through this power, the god makes an order do something. For religious orders or sects, add +10 points if a non-creating player commands them. For other orders, add +5 points to the cost if a noncreating player commands them. (4 Points, 3 Points, 2 Points) Create Avatar -- Through this power, the god creates a major figure within the history of the world. These may be high priests, dragons, warriors, dynasties, or the like. If slain or wiped out, they may be resurrected or reestablished by the creating player for 5 points. (10 Points, 7 Points, 8 Points) Command Avatar -- An avatar can perform ONE of the following immortal or Many Mortal actions (such as leading an army) in a turn when commanded. Immortal actions which an avatar can perform include: Command City, Create Order, Command Order, Create City, Corrupt/Purify City, Create Race (ONCE) , gather an army. Through the use of an avatar, players may for example raise two armies in a turn from the same city, or execute two commands upon a race. (2 Points, 1 Point, 1 Point) Catastrophe -- By this power, the gods express their wrath. From fiery mountains to the destruction of avatars, the loss of great advancements to the destruction of city walls, this power brings ruin upon them all by whatever clever mechanism the player can imagine. How will you feel when your avatar drowns in a lake of acid? (10 Points for every era) MAP PICTURE Base map Update after A1R1 Update after A1R2 Update after A1R3 Update after A1R4 Update after A1R5 Update after A2R1 Update after A2R2 Update after A2R3 A History of OUR WORLD Age 1, Chapter 1 From the chaos in the cosmos came the four Gods--each unique in personality and equally mighty in strength. They rose from the ashes of the Cosmos, eager to build the world in their image. The first to lay a claim to the land was a child-like creature--innocent and sweet to the eyes. She called herself Suwako Moriya and immediately flooded a spot of land with shimmering water made of liquefied color. From the depths of its subconscious, an entity known only as The Dreamer raised the land from deep below the sea and creates a world segregated from the mainland--the environment and weather are as chaotic and unpredictable as the world of dreams in which it resides. The spirit known only as The Deadbeat Maiden focused her attention to the north, bringing together the land and piling it higher and higher until it seemed to scrape the heavens itself. The Unnamed God, unknowable in form and tongue, spread the seeds of life along the southern peninsula, and from there sprang the first evidence of forests that could be recorded in history. The conditions of the trees were just right for uninhibited growth, and soon mighty trees stood tall, absorbing as much sunlight as they were able. Age 1, Chapter 2 And from the infinite cosmos, a fifth entity watched and merely observed the others. The Seeker, as it would call itself later, watched as the other gods fiddled with the very nature of the canvas that was the world. He would have his own plans, but for now... he waits. The Dreamer, however, was hard at work, bearing gifts to the other gods. To the Deadbeat Maiden, it raised a colossal tree from the very foundation of the world, sending it higher and higher into the sky. To the Child-Goddess Moriya, a frog pond was bequeathed, complete with toxic flowers that shone with the radiance of the sun. For itself, an abstract forest was unearthed near the Dreamer's Isle, seemingly illogical to mortal comprehension yet impossible to find any flaws in the environment's very nature. The Deadbeat Maiden had saved her strength creating a harsh, foggy jungle--a veritable Paradise on this world. The sunlight grew harsh around what she named Sear Mountain, fulfilling her desires to the letter. Moriya and The Enigma, however, were content with merely observing the world around them and taking in the marvels that the others had created. Perhaps they had plans of their own--or perhaps they were too busy amusing themselves with their new playthings. Age 1, Chapter 3 It was at this time that the first races began to walk the lands and waters. Strange creatures with manes of cotton inhabited the forests to the southeast, while maidens that pledged their devotion to Moriya tended to her childish whims near the lakes. This was to be a time where the "ancient" races, as they would be referred to later, would begin to make an impact on the world. The Dreamer, either out of spite or disappointment, bequeathed unto the Enigma a monument balanced precariously over a pit of lava and mountains to the north of his forest, almost as if to quarantine the Whimsicott to their peninsula. With fascination, The Deabeat Maiden took an immediate liking to her World Tree and continued her sculpting of the lands of the north, creating jagged peaks and steamy jungles to the north. The Seeker began to sculpt the lands to the southwest into his own creation, making a harsh desert where sands would whip around cacti at unfathomable speeds. However, this was only the beginning of his innermost machinations... Age 1, Chapter 4 With all of the chaos that he was so apt to cause, the Enigma ripped a portion of the land and set it upon a bed of cloudstuffs, causing the rock to float in the sky. This was undoubtedly a notable achievement in his eyes, but the large mass soon bored him and he looked upon the other gods to bring some sort of twisted inspiration to him... The Seeker, in his infinite mystery, created a snowy landscape toward the southeast to bring a splash of variety to the otherwise barren landscape. He then turned his attention toward the central area of the landmass and, on a whim, boiled a patch of land into a toxic stew, turning the area into a fetid marsh. Nothing but the strongest of creatures could survive in the murky mire for long. Somewhat unsure of what he had done, the Seeker then rested and reflected on what he could do next... The ever-distracted Moriya, turning her attention away from her newest creation, spent the majority of her time raising the land to the west of her sacred ponds. While nowhere near the height of the Deadbeat Maiden's peaks, they were impressive nonetheless--so much that Moriya felt the need to litter her creations with steamy jungles. The maidens, oblivious to their goddess' actions, continued to frolic in ignorance. Trying to find a sense of purpose and "order" to the mainland, the Dreamer found a thread between the Deadbeat Maiden's refuge to the north and Moriya's frog pond in the center of the continent. Using his power, the Dreamer created a river that branched around his World Tree and snaked through the land, bridging the gap between the two gods. Somewhat curious as to the extent of her powers, the Deadbeat Maiden found a suitable area west of her mountain range and lightly touched the ground. Within seconds, the rock began to liquefy and sink into the depths of the earth, creating a massive sinkhole. To further obfuscate whatever intent she was planning, a thick fog covered the area at her whim. The final step in her creative process was the raising of a smooth black tower off on its own peninsula. Its purpose at this time is unknown. Age 1, Chapter 5 Dissatisfied with the "corruption" on the mainland, the Seeker turned his attention to the northern seas, raising the land from the depths of the ocean and shaping the mass into a plateau. He used his might to create a bizarre dichotomy between chaos and order--the top of the plateau was bathed in sunlight as a pleasant forest suddenly shot from the ground, while the residual elemental forces began to swirl around the cliffs leading to this veritable paradise. Moriya, finding a bit of strength left over, used what little power she had left to blanket the rest of her mountainous creations in jungle. Satisfied with her creation, she turned back toward her Maidens and joined in on their fun. Disappointed to find a lack of snowy climate, the Enigma focused his energies toward the west, creating a blizzard that swept in and froze the land. He was beginning to enjoy the patchwork climates that were being formed without regard to continuity and sense--it reminded him of his own goals and dreams. The Deadbeat Maiden, furious to find a connection to her sacred lands and the playpen of an incompetent goddess, channeled her fury into corrupting the area near Moriya's creations, spewing forth geysers of pitch-black liquid to the sky as a reminder to leave her be. Storm clouds were gathered in an attempt to isolate the Maiden's refuge from the rest of the world. There was no need to make contact with anyone at this point, let alone a child-goddess of frogs and entropy! The Dreamer, strangely enough, was nowhere to be found--perhaps he had journeyed to where he found comfort, in an attempt to drown out the petty squabbles and chaotic actions of his fellow gods. Regardless of where he actually was, he chose not to reveal his actions to the Deadbeat Maiden, either out of spite or for the glory of "science". Age 2, Chapter 1 This era was now the dawn of most of the sentient beings that now call our world home. Joining the isolated Whimsicott in the south-eastern forests and the Suwako Maidens in the central ponds were new creatures--things that had until now had never even been dreamed in the millenia before. The Dreamer, seeing the opportunity present itself after a quick sojourn to the land of dreams, created a race in its image--a race of flesh and blood, with peculiar snouts drooping from their faces. These beings, which the Dreamer named the Toriningen, despite their initial bewilderment with meeting their maker in dreams, were subtly directed into building a settlement on what he called his Isle of Order. The mortals knew not what they were doing yet, but given time, the Dreamer believed, all would be revealed to them. The Deadbeat Maiden, wishing to remain competitive in this world, sculpted a diminutive creature of rock. Dubbing the creature Corsola, she left it to multiply and create an underwater colony near the base of her World Tree. Their enthusiasm was met with satisfaction from the goddess, who continued to watch her creations with a sense of awe and wonder. The Seeker saw this and realized that he was the only one without a people to call his own. His sightless gaze turned toward the desert, where he sculpted creatures similar in shape to the Toriningen. Where they differed, however, were the various wrappings of "cord" around their limbs and the introduction of what the Seeker called a "third eye". He dubbed his people the Satori, and, weakened in his current state, gave them his blessings before disappearing from their sight, hoping that there was enough of a spark for them to survive. Moriya and the Enigma had not been sitting idly by. They paid little attention to their rival's creations, instead focusing their efforts on building cities and monuments in their image. The child goddess commanded her Maidens to erect a temple near their frog pond, hoping to bring a sense of spiritual enlightenment to her people before they blissfully spent the day playing in the clear waters. The Enigma, seeing the opportunity to collect on free land, commanded his race to begin construction on cities--one in their wooded habitat, and one located, strangely enough, over the boiling sea of magma below his "monument". What these two gods were planning at this time may never be understood by we mortals. Age 2, Chapter 2 The gods watched their mortal creations scurry about their business like ants. Before long, grand cities were being erected--nothing too fanciful, but enough to keep a shelter over their heads and to build a strong community bond. Suwako, dissatisfied with the lack of the finer points in life, took it upon herself to educate her Maidens with knowledge of art, music, fashion, and other aesthetically-pleasing ideals. In addition, with a wave of her hand, she created a sort of "magical mud", as she described it--what exactly was so magical about it, she never cared to explain. The Dreamer, watching his Toriningen mindlessly follow his orders, endowed them with his knowledge of patterns and order, creating logic. The species took it upon themselves to chart their island's seemingly senseless changes, hoping to find sense amidst the chaos. As well, The Dreamer sent a group of his followers to the mainland, establishing the city of Fade near the western forests. The Deadbeat Maiden, please with her industrious creatures, took it upon herself to create a new species of Corsola--one with white markings instead of the usual creme-colored. They explored the surrounding area, establishing the city of Wiwaxia Abyss to the south of Rayon Reef and providing the city with the means of creating specialized weapons. The Enigma, wishing to channel the energies of his creations to a more productive cause, blessed one of his Whimsicott--a particularly excitable male that called himself Roosevelt--with the knowledge and insatiable hunger to search out the lands that surrounded their cities. Using gifts provided by the Enigma, Roosevelt established the Explorer's Guild and taught his fellow Whimsicott in the art. The Seeker, watching over his creations carefully, made sure nothing came to harm them whilst they created shelters for themselves. Unwilling to attempt to traverse the desert, the Satori created a settlement, Zenthi'th, on the edge of the unforgiving sands, while another intrepid group traveled south, finding the edge of the land and establishing Nair. The Age of Expansion had truly begun. Age 2, Chapter 3 Sensing a growing animosity between herself and Suwako, the Deadbeat Maiden commanded her race to begin mobilization of an amphibious army of White Corsola. Seizing the opportunity to win the favor of their patron, they quickly amassed themselves into battle-ready warriors equipped with the best weapons Wiwaxia Abyss was able to forge. In addition, Rayon Reef scientists, after experimenting with the new substance found outside their homes, managed to train many of their Cream-colored in the art of advanced medicine. Whether this seemingly-miraculous substance of Suwako's creation would work for other mortals other than the Corsola remained to be seen at this point. The Seeker, wishing to give some purpose to his mortal subjects, bequeathed to them the gift of a substance called "metal", advancing their already-capable feats of engineering to new heights. It remains to be seen, however, what their minds are capable of conjuring. In addition to this, a Satori claimed to have been visited by another mysterious deity in dreams. Being touched by this benign god's presence, she created the Guild of the Clouded Sunset, dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge through reason and logic. Suwako's actions, as usual, were random at best and chaotic at worst. In her mind, she thought it fitting to bequeath a "gift" of food-bearing bushes to the Corsola population to the north--what plans she had concocted in her ever-shifting mind have not come to fruition yet. In a bizarre twist, the young child-goddess also spread these same growths around her temple. The Dreamer, sensing a disturbance in the order he has established for his Toriningen, grasped a mass of dreamstuffs and sprinkled it over his mortals. Dormant supernatural powers were beginning to awaken in these dreamers--an art the Dreamer himself described as "Magic". With practice, these Toriningen were able to conjure flames with nothing but their minds, manipulate the earth at their feet, and freeze water with but a passing glance. Wishing to extend his influence further (either by good faith or by something more sinister), he established a hold in a nearby Satori settlement and bequeathed a young woman with his gift of reason and logic. Thus the Guild of the Clouded Sunset was created. The Enigma, unpredictable as ever, was nowhere to be found. What was his motive, if there was any to be found? Hell, if we actually go through with this, we could create a world where we actually could RP in ourselves! Who's interested? Edited by Pokemon_As_Leaders, Apr 15 2012, 11:31 AM.

CREATOR OF WORLDS Posts: 290 Group: Swablus and Cirnos Member #35 Joined: Jan 18, 2012	In all honesty, I didn't expect this big of a turnout so quickly! =D This is ~~Sparta~~ fantastic! Here's how it's gonna work (because, well, this is a forum and not a literal table-top): If no one else joins this, I can have a blank map up possibly by tonight. --Each round, I will have someone new make the first action (probably starting from the top of the sign-up list and rotate it that way, just cause it's easiest for me). --YOU MUST KEEP TRACK OF YOUR OWN POINTS. I AM IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE FOR LOOKING AFTER YOUR GOD-POWERS. --I will probably do just one update a night (kind of like Roll 2 Dodge) where I take everyone's action and perform them. In your action, I assume everything you want to happen occurs simultaneously with each other (So if, say, Levi wants to Shape Land and Shape Climate and has the points to do so, they will happen at the same time.). --As long as you have the points to do so, you may perform any number of actions on your designated turn in the round. However, your actions will be performed in the order that you are supposed to go in (to avoid starting a war between two of you guys--although that could still very well happen, who knows?). If anyone else has any questions about this, feel free to post them here! Please make sure you've brushed up on the rules as well (the link in the OP) so you're not asking questions that could be easily answered in there.

CREATOR OF WORLDS Posts: 290 Group: Swablus and Cirnos Member #35 Joined: Jan 18, 2012	DOUBLE POST BECAUSE NEW INFORMATION!!! --I have updated the OP with a picture of the all-important map! ~~BASK IN MY LACK OF ARTISTIC PROWESS!!!~~ Since we have a map and none of you are mind-readers, allow me to explain: the darkest line is an outline of the mainland (and the small island off to the eastern edge), while the other lines around it represent the ocean. And that's it at this point--because *YOU* haven't commanded anything to happen to it yet! --With regards to the map, you may have noticed that there's a handy grid that takes up the entire map. This is for powers that rely on a location to work. Instead of guessing approximately where you would like a power to activate, you can just tell me approximately which coordinates you want them activated in! It makes things so much easier for me and you! (Coordinates are numbered where two lines intersect, not where a particular square is located.) --For powers that affect an area, you tell me approximately which coordinate is the CENTRAL COORDINATE of the area you wish to change. For those of you playing, roll 2d6 (or go to this site and roll 1-6 twice and add your results together) and make sure you keep track of that number! This is your starting pool for your all-important GOD POINTS! Feel free to save them* or spend them--the choice is yours! The action order for Age 1, Round 1 (notated as A1R1 from this point forward) is as follows: Levi, Madotsuki, Sylvie, DKHTP. You may post your actions at any time, but they will be resolved in this order. A Sample Action Format Before Actions: 10 Points --Shape Land into Mountains at (26, 14) and (28, 16) -- 6 Points --Shape Climate to Tundra at (26, 14) and (28, 16) -- 4 Points After Actions: 0 Points *If you choose to not do anything, please post saying that you choose not to take an action this round so I don't assume that you're just forgetting about this. One more note--Nothing on the map has been named yet, so feel free to name the things that you create! Hell, you're gods, so you might as well give yourself a fancy title if you want! (It will be noted in the History--I'm sure it'll sound better that "DKHTP uses his might to raise the land toward the heavens!"... or something along those lines.)

Winter Clouds Posts: 100 Group: Schizophrenic Dreamer Member #3 Joined: Dec 18, 2011	A continent, floating in a vast void of space... Presiding over it... are four gods. The first to awaken is the one that never wakes up at all. The Dreamer... a strange entity, presiding over concepts which do not even exist. Dreams. Progress. Ideals. Reason. A strange thing for a god to hold valuable, when sentience is not created. He will create, he will inspire, he will go by many names. GOD INFO Name: The Dreamer True Name: Somnis, Divine of Inspiration Gender: Genderless Form: Varies wildly, but it averages out somehow to a humanoid Tapir. He will not act until Levi does, but when he does, he will create an island around (2,15), a land of his design, with wildly-shaped mountains and varied coasts that slowly shift. Such shifting is not random, but in fact follows a complex pattern, which a high-enough race of beings could use, should they come to exist... The climate he designs for such an island is suited to match. The rains come often and averaged enough for life to exist, should it be created... the snow comes, weighted to fall around the mountains... a variety of weathers not seeming to follow the exact climate patterns of the surrounding planet. This all creates a mathematically complex yet beautiful land, suitable for dreams and reason alike. Somnis had 8 points to begin with, and used 3 to create the Isle of Dreams, and 2 to create its unique climate. This leaves 3 to be used later. Summary Before Actions: 8 Points --Shape Land into Mathematically-shifting Island at (2,15) -- 3 Points --Shape Climate to Mathematically Varied at (2,15) -- 2 Points After Actions: 3 Points Edited by Madotsuki, Mar 5 2012, 02:12 PM.

the gang's all here Posts: 8,388,607 Group: Lilligants of Gensokyo Member #22 Joined: Dec 19, 2011	[RNG rolls: 2 & 3. Here goes...] A peculiar deity silently lurks over the blank template of a world yet to be shaped. GODDESS INFO Known As: ~~Odi Wang Lee~~Deadbeat Maiden Avatar: None... yet. Resembles: A shapeshifter, she retains elements of a coral-like being in every shape she mimics. Most commonly seen in the form of a adolescent female in a nurse's outfit, occasionally with a katana piercing cleanly through her abdomen. Her eyes darting wildly over the landscape, she considers each and every spot still available to her to do as she wishes with; at last, a joyous cry escapes her lips, heard by none but herself. She points deviously at (16, 31). Instantaneously, the earth rumbles ominously, and the soil rises as a new mountain is made. Grinning ear to ear, the Deadbeat Maiden admires the various grooves that may prove hazardous to any life-form that dared to brave her creation. But in doing so, she'd already spend a majority of her power on a task simple to gods; she realizes it too late. Scoffing, she dismisses the task of creating its climate as well. Perhaps later, she reluctantly decides, though she frets that another may tamper with it if she won't. [So, I spent 3 of my points creating a mountain, leaving me with 2 for later use.]

CREATOR OF WORLDS Posts: 290 Group: Swablus and Cirnos Member #35 Joined: Jan 18, 2012	MAP AND HISTORY HAVE BEEN UPDATED!!! This is glorious day for world builders everywhere! A1R2 order is as follows: Madotsuki, Sylvie, DKHTP, Zeta Koishi, LeviLamprey. Roll 2d6 (or use this site and roll 1-6 twice and add the results) and add them to any remaining points you have from last round. (IMPORTANT: IF YOUR TOTAL REMAINING WAS LESS THAN 5 POINTS LAST ROUND, ADD 1 POINT TO YOUR TOTAL AFTER ROLLING!) One request... Please get your actions in by Thursday night so I can do a quick edit of the map--I may not have access to my scanner for a few days (starting Saturday), so I want to make sure I can get another update in before my scanner access is limited...

the gang's all here Posts: 8,388,607 Group: Lilligants of Gensokyo Member #22 Joined: Dec 19, 2011	[Rolls for this round: +1, +4. Add +1 again since I started with 2 points before rolling...] Arising again, the Deadbeat Maiden returns for another round of modifying the land left to the gods as their plaything. Previously the third deity to act out of a pantheon of four, she notices a lake filled with multicolored water, as well as an island in the West, had risen from nothing, and a forest has sprung up not long after she created her cherished mountain. The Maiden bites her lip; she certainly has competition. Undeterred, she has arrived to finish what she'd began. Without a moment of hesitation, Sear Mountain, as it will be called by adventurers that venture far up North, is granted its own climate. It is not caught in an intense blizzard, as one may expect; instead, it eternally basks in unforgiving sunlight. [-2] Satisfied with her first creation, the Deadbeat Maiden already has her next project in mind. Focusing her powers at (18, 33), she forces the growth of a jungle [-3], and just as quickly allows a thick fog to roll in, shrouding the untainted paradise. [-2] [Began with 8 points, and I'm now left with 1 point. :V]

Winter Clouds Posts: 100 Group: Schizophrenic Dreamer Member #3 Joined: Dec 18, 2011	(Okay, I got a six and a one. 7+3+1=11.) The Dreamer stirred once more as the other beings finally woke. He watched as the created other, minor things; a simple pond, a mountain, a forest. Shallow desires, not ruled by the external reason of consciousness or the internal reason of dreams. Folly. But he should befriend them; perhaps they could come to see his point. He turned his attention to the creation of The Deadbeat Maiden first. She had seen it fit to create a mountain. The Dreamer had seen her intentions of covering it in scorching heat. He saw not the meaning of this, but decided to give her a reminder to keep things in natural order, as opposed to random whimsy. He built a tree at (17, 29); an entity in itself so large as to be reminiscent of another universe's "Atlas" myth. It might as well be holding up the sky, being difficult to see the top of from the ground. The most striking feature, however, was the large wooden curve sticking through it, aimed at resembling a katana and an effort to personalize the gift for The Maiden. Every spring, large cottonball spores fell. They could be planted to obtain miniature replicas of the tree, should any future races wish this. Furthermore, staring intensely through one at another would reveal to the starer the other's dreams. [creating a World Tree at (17, 29): -3] Next in line was that oddball. Even while all were asleep, The Dreamer could sense something was not right about the dreams of that Moriya girl. Her dreams were erratic, often silly. He decided to send a gift to her to remind her to slow herself, lest she lose reason. A giant field of Sunflowers sprang up around (20, 15). However, these Sunflowers were different from the norm; they contained a mild depressant. Any race (once they should be created) that entered the field would find itself slowed and calmed by the flowers. Should they begin to damage the flowers, the depressant would increase tenfold, causing any who breathed in to fall into eternal slumber [well death but yeah]. To show his intentions for Suwako, in the middle he stuck a large frog pond, the symbol of the goddess. [creating a sunflower field at (20, 15): -3] For the unknown entity, The Dreamer was at a loss for action. There was nothing he could sense about the god; no logic for it to follow. He decided to leave it to its forest. The Dreamer decided to create biomes of his own. He created a forest at (3, 19), one which gave the appearance that it followed its own internal logic, like his islands actually did. It did NOT share this property, but it had that certain logical aura taste to it. It was The Dreamer's favorite taste. [creating forest at (3, 19): -3] The Dreamer gave a final sigh, and rested for a new day. [2 points remain.]

Initiated Frostfluff Posts: 48 Group: Lunar Exile Member #4 Joined: Dec 18, 2011	Add 2 and 6 and you get 8 He watches the others designing their world, four gods, each one of them mighty. As mighty as he himself. This fact angered him, though the anger passed quickly, much like most emotions. God Information Known As: The Seeker True Name: Aphizo Gender: Male Appearance: He usually takes the form of a human with black hair wearing a white robe, though he has no face. Though while he can take the form of anything, he prefers to remain faceless, with the exception of his Avatars and incarnations throughout history. Avatar: Currently none He watches the others perform their work in silence, seeing them make what they desired. A searing mountain, a lake, an unusual island, a World Tree, a field of Sunflowers, multiple forests. His blank face showed no signs of emotion as he witnessed their work. He stopped and gazed at the world tree for a moment, enjoying it's appearance. Initial: 8 Actions taken: None After Actions: 8

If there are others that still want in, read up on the rules and roll yourself some Points! Just know that I cannot update until all players submit actions (or say that they're not doing anything, like Zeta above me).
