My last game attempt didnt work out so well, so this time im going to let you guys decide what I should try, that way I will know at least that the game I would be making is something people actually want, so here are your four options
Cadrius

I don't think it was so much that your last idea didn't spark interest, it's just that (in my opinion) it was a hard setting to fit yourself into. I normally pride myself on being creative in character creation and development and for the life of me I couldn't find a concept that I liked.
The story and idea themselves were interesting though.
Beidamon
23rd of May, 2002, 06:39
I know, it was kinda a hard universe to fit into because I was constantly changing it and adding to it, that was mostly what inspired my idea of coming from different planes, so that you wouldn't know anything about this plane and I could add stuff in easily, and so that you could create a charecter with a good history (level 10 to 15 people have been around alot) without really needing to know a huge amount about the world, and to allow a outsider perspective on the world that you as players would have.

I went for the establishing acoloney
seems like a good idea to my
I might have it as a sub-plot in the next pbp i'm currently planning
Cadrius
23rd of May, 2002, 22:33
If you're feeling ambitious...
Why not take that colony idea to the grand scale. Shift it to the world and have the players be the Powers That Be.
I played in a game like that once. I must say, it was a lot of fun. Each of us picked a theme for our deity and were assigned a portfolio. The DM effectively took the role of the overgod (Ao, or whomever you wish) and ran with it. It worked quite nicely, although as the elven god of love my followers weren't good for much. They sure did know how to have a good time though.
It resembled a cross between SimEarth and Birthright on the Divine scale.
Beidamon
23rd of May, 2002, 22:56
That sounds like a good idea to, but it doesn't fit in well with what the idea was supposed to be. Its kind of going to be a mix of everything, city building in establishing your colony, war game by fighting off angry natives with your colonial soldiers, rival colonies, and colonial rebelions, adventure game in seeking out new areas, defending your people from threats greater then teh average soldier can deal with, and so on and so forth. When your god that eliminates some of that stuff, its kind of hard to go on a adventure as a god
"Ok, you see 5 goblins, armed in leather armor, 3 weilding clubs, one a short spear, and one unarmed"
"Ok, ill use my divine power to smite the club wielders, gaze at the shortspear holder causing its head to explode, and step on the unarmed one"
*rolls dice*
"You rolled 5 1's, that means you killed all 5 of them easily.... dang :("
BigRedRod
23rd of May, 2002, 23:26
playing as crappy b*w style gods would be fun
but a pain for the DM to keep track of everything
Its kind of going to be a mix of everything, city building in establishing your colony, war game by fighting off angry natives with your colonial soldiers, rival colonies, and colonial rebelions, adventure game in seeking out new areas, defending your people from threats greater then teh average soldier can deal with, and so on and so forth
hmmm
thats pretty similar to one of the distant parts of the VSF campaign :P
Still if i do decide to have that part of the game and your doing this, i'll make sure to differeniate it (the plans are only an outline so far)
Beidamon
23rd of May, 2002, 23:40
Hmmm, maybe I should make a game where you all get to play as gods. If im going to though, first answer this question, if I did that, how many of you who want it would actually join the game? Sure great ideas for games are great, but the last 2 attempts I made at a game I thought had great ideas and they went down with a great flushing sound.
Since I like the idea of having a game with gods and since some people seem to want to have it, then tell me, who of you would join the game based off that idea? If enough people step forward ill start it, otherwise im going with the poll results.
Cadrius
23rd of May, 2002, 23:51
*shrug* It was just an idea that popped into my head. As gods we never did any of the dirty work. Why else would you have followers who worship your every move? The closest we had were our avatars, and even then, you could only utilize them once in a while, so they got saved until it was absolutely necessary.
So personal combat was out, but there were epic struggles from time to time (with the except of my elves who were lovers, not fighters). All sorts of inter-deity politics, not to mention all the trials of having thousands of people each clamoring for your attention simultaneously.
It was definitely...unique.
Beidamon
24th of May, 2002, 00:08
Dont worry, ill let you as gods have a more active roll. Youll have to do alot and youll have to quest for various stuff in various ways. One idea im toying with is having a "Holy call" kind of effect where a deity can send out his call and bring together a group of adventurers believing in him to do a certain task. The deity will have contol over the group, to a certain extent, and be able to send them to achieve certain missions. These will be important because it will be the main way to acquire items to be used to make holy items. Holy items will be important because they will be keys to being deities, stuff like metals to be used to make your deity weapon, special components to bring your own plane into existance to be a god from, and various other things like that. You will also be able to give out regular visions to try to inspire people to do stuff in your name, and once and a while send miracles "IE elf deity causing a special holy tree to spring up, good deity creating a holy area where undead cant enter, stuff like that" and you would also have interdeity conflicts and battles between your followers, and always searching for more porfolio's to gain more followers. If this sounds interesting then just post if you want to play, if no one wants to play that however then it will likely be either the colonial game, or the bladesk game, two games that have annoyingly stayed pretty much tied so far
Cadrius
24th of May, 2002, 00:36
Personally I'd be highly interested in it. The idea of divine politics has always intrigued me. Although you might have a problem with too many portfolios for too few deities unless a fair number of non-player-deities (NPDs?) as well.
Well now I'm in creative mode, excuse me while I slack off from work and go think up some concepts.
Beidamon
24th of May, 2002, 01:22
Dont worry, there will be other deities, and you will only start with one or two porfolio's and have to earn more if you want to get them.
Cadrius
24th of May, 2002, 03:04
Well knowing my luck nobody else will be interested.
Hmm...I just had the most annoying parody pop into my head.
What a god wants,
What a god needs.
Whatever keeps you worshippin'
And sends your soul to me.
I'm thankin' you,

I offered you the ability to plumb the depth of evil....
And you did not come....
I offered you great story and epic adventure
And you did not come....
I offered to let you shape the destiny of a world
And you did not come.....
Then I offered you Godhood.....
And a line begins forming
What did I learn from all this? There are alot more people out there like me then I thought :)
(For those of you who dont know me just look at all my charecters and their tendancy to wish to rule the world ;))

Ooh! Ooh! I want to be the horseman of pollution! No wait, we're gods, not riders of the apocolypse...hmm...
I'd enjoy portraying a sun deity: warmth, healing, happiness, celebrations, wisdom. Those sorts of traits, rather than the fierce "I'm going to beat you down with my cosmic rays" sun.
Beidamon
24th of May, 2002, 13:17
Hmmm
So far a god of recycling and a god of the sun who is all about giving a warm fuzzy feeling to people, is there enough hippies in my world to support all these gods? hehe ;)
Beidamon
24th of May, 2002, 13:30
Just a warning, dont get your hopes to high. You will probably only get 1 or 2 minor portfolio's, and if you want to get more youll have to earn them
The way the system im using works is this so far
You start out with only one or two minor portfolio's
There are three levels of portfolio's, minor, intermidiate, and major
Now to get a minor portfolio you need nothing, you just have to find the way to get it and go for it
To get a intermediate portfolio you have to have one of the minor porfolio associated with it, a list will be provided which im working on right now
To get a major porfolio you need a large amount or maybe even all the portfolio's associated with it
Im also thinking of having titles you can go for by having a certain set of portfolio's. The sun god would be one of them, others might include a guardian figure like helm, and so on and so forth.
Im using the system this way because it helps encourage interdeity relations and makes it so that some portfolio's even though minor can be really important to you. It also is to give you a little purpose and stop people from just getting whatever portfolio they can get their hands on. Plus if anouther player has a portfolio you need and refuses to hand it over it could make stuff very, very interesting ;)

I think i'll add myself to the ever-growing line :)
Hmmmm
Just need to think about a crappy little starting Portfolio
pebbles :)
shrimp
rotten wood
so many choices :)
BigRedRod
24th of May, 2002, 17:42
for our starting portfolios can we pick a tribe of a certain race?
like the demigod Uthgar has (from FR)
seems to make sense and it would seem to fit nicely with the crappy portfolio for crappy deities idea
Maeko
24th of May, 2002, 18:50
Can you give us an idea of 'minor' portfolios?
Maeko
24th of May, 2002, 18:53
BTW you also have a would-be moon/hunt goddess
Beidamon
24th of May, 2002, 21:31
Just look in the FRCS, they have alot of examples of portfolios and just look for ones that dont look important, working on the list of portfolio's and after I get a forum ill post it for you guys.
Yeash, you start a game and after about one day the people expect you to have all the answers

Your damn right :)
I always wanted to play in one of your game to ask to play a Dragon, but in tis campaign I tink it might be a disadvanatge :)
Cadrius
25th of May, 2002, 00:06
Hmm, a goddess of the night/hunt would work well with my god of the sun.
When I thought of this guy I just had a glimpse of this big, tanned guy with blond hair hanging out on a tropical island, drinking a margarita, relaxing, maybe doing a little surfing, having beach-side barbeques with the various other deities, celestials, and petitioners.
Fun stuff.
BigRedRod
25th of May, 2002, 00:11
Hmmm
The Sun and the Moon arent really minor Portfolios. They are the big important ones or intermediate ones at the very least
I'll hold on to see the list before I ask for something :)
Beidamon
25th of May, 2002, 00:35
Almost done step one, copying out all the portfolio's in FRCS. Then I just have to eliminate the ones that dont work, simplify others, generalize some and then organise them into major, minor, and intermediate and sort them into catagories....
/me shudders
BigRedRod
25th of May, 2002, 00:39
faster
*cracks whip*
faster
The sorting ius gonna be a real pain
some are tough to call
I suppose you could just base it off what kind of god as it (Greater, intermediate or demi)
that would work as a base i suppose

BigRedRod
25th of May, 2002, 01:18
I want mine to be gold mercurial greatswords
(4d6 damage and an x4 crit mod from what i remember :) )
either that or something unusual
Again it depends on my portfolio
All i know is I think i'll gonna aim to get Luck and Gold under my control, so i'll pick some weak little area that i can use to start me off on
I'll join the blackmail boat
Careful or the nameless one may have an accident on the Ferry :)
Hmm there must be six or seven people now all dancing to get picked for the campaign :) Looks like your on to a winner here Beid :)
Beidamon
25th of May, 2002, 01:22
Lee, neglect my charecter? shouldn't that threat have a "Moreso" at the end? Now go post! I want to see if my tricky plan worked!
Dont worry, the creation of your special deity weapons is something im planning, and something you will have to work to get. Its alright if you plan to work towards something, just remember you might have to go through a few gods to get it ;)
BigRedRod
25th of May, 2002, 01:26
As long as i get to smite things
and make non-believers pillars of salt (or whatever i have control of)
so maybe pillars of pebbles, or rotten wood
Good to hear about the deity weapon thingies :)
Savces me having to make a decision right away :)
Beidamon
25th of May, 2002, 01:27
Also, dont worry about a player limit, there isn't any yet, the more the better. If this keeps up soon well have a whole pantheon of players and things could get really interesting when they start having the portfolio's you need, and when those portfolio's start getting scarce ;)
Beidamon
25th of May, 2002, 01:32
Hmmm time for some backlashblackmail
Lee, if you want in the game go make me a forum! hehe, Ive got enough players as you see, and enough people blackmailing me to keep the game going. It also would be nice if we had somewhere to post all our talking other then this thread, since thread originally had nothing to do with this game lol
Hmmmm no player limit, many many player, all their own quests, creating groups for them monitering holy items and weapons, overseeing avatar creation thinking up portfolio quest and general deital dinamics, again...
/me shudders
BigRedRod
25th of May, 2002, 01:33
I'm sure we will be able to reason it out
Afterall i doubt any of the other gods want their followers turned into pillars of something
A full pantheon of player gods would be nice :)
But i'm sure we would cause so much lasting damage to the world :)
BigRedRod
25th of May, 2002, 01:34
i'm sure you will manage to think up (i.e. steal) enough ideas :)
afterall isnt it summer in america now? (i.e. no school and stuff)
Hmm i had better go get thinking of a name for my god
Beidamon
25th of May, 2002, 01:38
I don't steal, I just creatively borrow
Dont think its summer yet, then again i only had half a school year this time so I have had alot of free time these past few months, since im still unemployed, boy I love my life :)
Thats one of the main reasons I want to start DMing, ran out of computer games to play and need something to do now hehe
Beidamon
25th of May, 2002, 01:41
Hmmm maybe I should get that one program to be on all IM's at once so I can listen to all you players whine.... Ummm I mean share your thoughts, on your developing deity. Dont want any of you to go and get a few wrong ideas and have to have me smite you for a error you never thought of (While I, being a DM of course cannot make any errors since im infalable and every error that I seem to make is really calculated and intentional, including all my bad spelling which is merely to give the words a unusual dialect, yes, thats it)
BigRedRod

Gah i have exams up until the 27th of Junt (i think)

or i go to uni
i'm hoping for the uni option :)

Because while Im extremely good at english class, Im better at being lazy and not doing any work (Got a 96% I think it was on my hamlet essay though, yay!(Wrote it all the night before ;))). I went back a extra half year to do english over (didn't fail just needed a higher mark) and since I was at it i took a few other classes as well. Since I wasn't taking that many classes though I only went back for half a year, and got the other half off.
BigRedRod
25th of May, 2002, 01:48
you know my stance on that
Actually i had anpother thought about that, but you'll have to wait
either way the only way you will get a Mare is if you entice one to be your friend
I'm not letting anyone get a familiar of equal or greater size that themselves (in my eyes it doesnt make sense, and as its my world mine are the eyes that matter)
Still you may be able to get yourself something hellish to ride
And it may not be a nightmare
It depends how much you are going to invest in the idea and how you go about in the game
Maeko
25th of May, 2002, 01:49
Been thinking of a few possibilities/ideas for the pantheon; that is if our overgod hasn't already decided on it.
We could be:
1 an extended family (more or less like the Greek/Roman ones)
2 a pantheon where some of us are 'blood-kin' and others came from a different group (like the Norse Aesir and Vanir).
in either case:
A: 'adolescent' godlings just starting to make a name for themselves.
B: former mortal heroes who found themselves recently elevated to godhood.
What do you think oh all-powerful?
Beidamon
25th of May, 2002, 01:50
Hmmm a Fiendish small clown Tricycle, its the right size, its hellish, but somehow I just dont think it portrays in image I want (Although clowns sure are scary)
BigRedRod
25th of May, 2002, 01:53
i'd rather avoid the heroes ascended background myself
combing 1 and A would be fun
i.e. we are the children of the gods with some serious designs on their power :)
Still its up to Beid really
and this is getting cluttered we sooo need a forum to have a pre-game thread :) or three :)
Beidamon
25th of May, 2002, 01:54
Well, currently my thought on the matter is this, the world is a fairly young one, created by the overgod (ME :)) and inhabited by people. Now I like the planescape idea that belief has power, and thats why gods want more people to believe in them. The world has been around for a long time, and has finally started to form culture and civilization, towns and cities have formed and as they did people went from superstition and stuff like that to true religion, and when they stopped believing in abstract aspects and in those aspects personified, you sprung forth. That is why your initial followers will match your portfolio type and why there are so many little portfolio's scattered around without anyone being able to claim the big ones.
BigRedRod
25th of May, 2002, 01:54
yeah clowns really freak me out
there is nothing (or very little) the right size that you can ride effectivly
if you wanted to ride your "pet" you should have played a druid or paladin :)
No i was thinking of a less intelligent hellish steed for you
you would have to still to quite abit to get one
but it would be less hassle that keeping a nightmare happy (i doubt your job would keep the mare satisified)
BigRedRod
25th of May, 2002, 01:56
yeah that kinda makes sense as a background plot
Plus everyone likes the whole :
No. of followers and strength of belief is proportional to god power :)
Maeko
25th of May, 2002, 01:56
Of course, I'm not aiming to steal the place of the over-god himself ;-) , just though to post a couple of 'what ifs' who could spark other ideas
BigRedRod

combing 1 and A would be fun

although combing them might be fun too
Beidamon
25th of May, 2002, 01:58
Still, because you were born all together of the world you can consider yourselves brothers and sisters, with The Overgod as your father and the earth as your mother. You will be existing on the same plane with each other for a while so you might as well have a connection
(You dont start with planes so to start you all exist on a small plane where all gods can go and talk and mingle, one layer of your godly conciousness is always on this plane so you can have a perminent RP thread or OOC thread to talk to each other in)
Maeko
25th of May, 2002, 01:58
I like that background a lot :-)
BigRedRod
25th of May, 2002, 02:00
Yeah keep it up
i'm sure beid is happy if we throw ideas about
I'm gessing the overgod thing is effectivly Ao
so even if all the other gods turned on him they would do nothing but at the same time is rather distant and hasnt been heard from in 487 million years
can i *ahem* the ladies , to make some half-god children ala hercules?

Sort a "Divine Comm-link" plane
sounds good
and we have to quest to get avatar, planes, favoured weapons, an army of dragons etc
hmmm
oh and by quest i mean use our folllowers
BigRedRod
25th of May, 2002, 02:04
seems to me that with a small collection of half-mortal kids people would be hard pressed not to believe in me
and i'm sure they could use their talents to encourage the people in worship
Beidamon
25th of May, 2002, 02:07
Yes, a God going on a quest doesn't happen to much. If you really want you can go on a few quests if you want. Anouther of the notions I like is the infinite amount of planes in existence, so its really easy for there to be a plane not only that has a special item you need, but also has armies of dragons, devils, demons, celestials, and a Arch Devil Demon crossbread named Ted around that could provide a challange for your avatar.
I as a DM like to keep things open, if you want to play around with extreme avatars of great power ill likely allow it as long as it doesn't really mess stuff up, but then again ill also want you to do quests in the real world because that is where your power is based in, and any holy item you make must at least have one component from it.
Beidamon
25th of May, 2002, 02:09
Wow, I seem to have you guys hanging off my every word and desperete to hear more, I feel so special ;)

yeah "special"
its a fairly novel camapign idea
plus i'm kinda killing time waiting for big brother 3 to start

i'm sure we can damage the Prime Material a little :)

Wow, this thread has exploded. Great.
You see what happens when you listen to me Beid? Eh? This crazy college student has a few good ideas stored up amidst the horde of bad ones (oh and it is summer for me now, whee!).
You're right, Sun would be too much. I'll have to refine and rethink his personality. Although ultimately I imagine each of the greater powers will cover a wider area than they originally intended ("What? I didn't want to have to be the bane of undead! Fine, I will. Stupid mortals...")
Beidamon

no doubt there will be another 50 posts when i get back :)
Beidamon
25th of May, 2002, 02:31
Oh, that reminds me, anouther idea I was thinking up was a Dueling Plane. Pretty much one big slab of rock with nothing in it, because of this the landscape can be shaped by the minds of the gods in it quite easily, and so the Gods can have big battles fighting each other and turning the very land itself to their advantage while not really doing any perminante damage. Still, a few arguments have to spill out onto the material plane where there aint any rules ;)
Beidamon

Have you read the Silmarillion? It should help you form a hierarchy/background.
I'll create the forum if you give me a name and description.
Btw, there has been a game LIKE this (there were 15 or so players in it) on ENworld. Only prob was that it ended in a huge fight among the players and DM.
Now please stop posting this much, cos I can't keep up (I'm at my friends' place right now, and we will prolly go out to the pub in a bit).
Oh, and I think this game shouldn't be just destruction and war. Gods do use diplomacy to form alliances etc...
Beidamon

I dont want to make myself vulnerable to te other pesky gods :)
Still its sounding great, i can hardly wait

Hmmm maybe that should be the name
Bigger Brother
.....

I know i just want to post something
no one has posted in VSF (i might just do a fast forward with that though, but i'll give everyone a little time. I dont want to rush anyone)
I think whonan has been busy recently so his game has slowed down to a point were it seems not to be moving
so all i have left is this, which needs setting up, and the game were its your turn to DM :)
so really in 3/4 cases your needed :)
:cat:
I suppose bigger brother could be a backup name
as for the little tag line
take a film one
like
"When you kill people they die"
(i think its that, i cant fully remember. I'll ceck my mail for what it actually was)
"From the makers of Schindler's List and the Lion King"
"When there is nothing left to believe in, believe in hope"
That last one might actually work :)
name are tricky
GOD BATTLE 8000
Small gods
yup sure is hard. My name suggestions really do suck .. suck mighty

"From the makers of The Planet, and You, comes their newest project, Gods"
How bout the title of
"When Gods Attack!"
or
"Godwatch" (With this title you gain the special power to slow down time while running along beaches)
Maybe
"I dream of god" (All somantic components of spells can then be done with your nose)
How bout this
"Gods"
With the description
"Because when you can smite people into oblivion, whatever name you choose works"
BigRedRod

Just choose one so i can start making my god fully :)

so how is that portfolio list coming along?
We had a couple of hours of frantic discussion and now there is just an empty void
c'mon let's actually make sure this game happens
Pick a forum name, get that set up
or just post in one of the games that we both play in
actually no one seems to be about, is there some reason for this? (like an american holiday ,or america has been nuked or something?)
BigRedRod
27th of May, 2002, 20:04
hold up
my calender claims it is memorial day
what's that? a Bank holiday or something
whoops my washing machine has arrived

Hey, in FR allied deities seem to be able to share portfolio's...
Will we be able to do that too?

...And another question how do you define (in game terms) a new godling?
I mean stats, skill levels and so on...
BigRedRod
28th of May, 2002, 02:41
Deities and Demigods has details on that
makes me wish i had bought the book a few weeks back as it is gonna be about a fortnight before i can get it (and watch ep2)
something to do with divine ranks
i'm not even 10% clear on how it works though
as it seems to rely on anthropomorphic deities

BRR Memorial Day is when we honor all the americans who have died in war, ALL wars from the War for Independance AKA the War of 1812 up to modern day. Except of course the confederate soldiers....
BigRedRod
28th of May, 2002, 05:24
ah
well that kinda explains why i hadn't heard of it. It's a very american thing
Speaking of Holidays if anyone cares, it's the Gold jubilee weekend next weekend, which is good. Everyone gets a few days off anbd there is a load of stuff on tv. But i might (as i keep banging on ) be in america that weekend. Whooo, i hope there ar

See unlike most americans I know that the golden jubilee is in celebration of the queen survivng 50 years as queen. it has actully been on the news alot here, American media is trying to convice us that US and the UK are one nation..... And in the last few decades we have acted as such in international affairs so its not surprising.
BigRedRod
28th of May, 2002, 18:54
Thats pretty suprising
I didnt think it would get much news coverage in any other countries
Still well done for knowing :)
Maeko
28th of May, 2002, 19:16
It will get a lot of coverage here in Italy too, it seems we have a lot of 'fans' of your royal family over here...
BigRedRod
28th of May, 2002, 21:31
glad to be reassured that I still live in the centre of the univere :)
The monarchy is fairly unpopular over here, it' suprising that there is a degree of popularity on other countries

"War of Independance"? Funny you should say that since in the war you were trying to wrongfully subjegate the canadian people, and in return we kicked your ass back to USA ;)
Cadrius
29th of May, 2002, 01:22
Well as much as I'd like to get into the monarchy...
Hmm, well it could be worse. You could live in New England.
"Come to Maine, it's practically Canada."
So what's the story, morning glory? Beid, are ya going to get a forum and get us going here? I'm psyched to start.
Beidamon
29th of May, 2002, 08:29
Sorry, Ive just been really tired the past few days, have got most of the work done, but I still need a name and description, currently im going with the "God" one unless someone suggests a good name for use.

29th of May, 2002, 09:11
What, didn't like any of my suggestions? You meanie, rejecting all of my 10 seconds of brainstorming. :P
BigRedRod
29th of May, 2002, 20:04
The name isnt important
it's the quality of the name#
I'm sure you can change it if someone thinks of a good one later

29th of May, 2002, 23:23
Just a note FYI: I'll be away with no PC access from June 1st to June 7th, will catch up as soon as I'll be back.
Any possibilities to have the domains posted before Saturday?

Ok, we have a forum, everyone who wants to join who's posted before go post your intention in the thread there, it makes it simpler to find how many I have, gives me up to date info on who wants to join, and makes it much easier to look stuff up.
