The world in which the game takes place. As things stand, no sentient life exists and few patches of land exist above the endless sea- only the tops of underground mountains, on some of which beaches have formed. An ice cap exists to the far south.

>Izl'aksii-Krosis

>Personality: Secretive, Plotful, Regal
>Appearance: A wafting sheen of blackness vaguely resembling the upper body of a humanoid. Black arms move about from this fog of a upper body, writhing in motions of incomprehensible to the mortal eye and even confusing to another God.

Rolled 5, 5 = 10 (2d6)

>>1283593
First God, good. Remember, you start with 2d6+5 so you've 15 starting power.

>>1283600
Use my power to make a three land continents, two large ones, with one small one seperated from the main two.

>>1283632
Make the continents where on the map?

>>1283640
The two large continents in the middle, with the smaller one near the glacial cap.

What are the personalities you can choose for the god OP? I can't see them on the pdf.

>Ari'kratin

>Domain: Desert of the the eastern most continent
>Alignment: Chaotic neutral
>Personality: Decisive, calculated, loyal, depressed
>Appearance: A tall lanky figure, who has arms that go down to his knees. An aura of deep red surrounds his tall figure, with a long flowing green robe. A feeling of calmness seems to surround this figure

Rolled 1, 3 = 4 (2d6)>>1283654

>>1283653
I'm playing as the GM, I just use this tag to make me easier to see. I don't have a god, per say, in the world.

>>1283653
>>1283654
You have 9 Power, thanks to starting +5.

>>1283647
I'm a bit unsure still, but I hope I've got it right. Can I ask people be specific as possible or copy the current map and edit in the changes you're doing yourself

>In a realm far from the mortal world, a god flicks one of hs many arms, making a gesture of power. In the mortal world, the oceans shake as several large areas of stone are forced to rise from the sea bed to the top of the waters.

>>1283668
I mean is there a list of personalities for me to choose from when I make my god or do I just make them up?

Rolled 5, 4 + 5 = 14 (2d6 + 5)

>>1283569
I like this idea

>Ishi-lo

>Domain: Ice, Rain, Change
>Alignment: Chaotic Good
>Personality: Excitable, Understanding, Easily bored
>Apperance: A large creature of multi-colored ice, constantly melting and reforming. A permanent cloud lies above him giving more water to freeze as other parts melt off.

>>1283675
You can make them up, making a list would be limiting. If you need ideas, just think of Greek gods or other historical pantheons and the characteristics of the deities there.

>>1283681
Nice to see another. When you and Ari'kratin make your moves, we can move onto the next round.

Just to make something clear, unless you summon an Avatar, the gods all exist in separate demiplanes.

>>1283692
Using my power to Shape land, I'm gonna create spires of black ice (so it doesn't melt) throughout the large desert in the bottom left.

>>1283697
How much power do you wish to use? Shape Land affects two hexes for every three points spent.

Rolled 2, 6 = 8 (2d6)

>>1283692
Ok thanks

>Jenahri

>Domain: Justice, Order, Law and Honor.
>Alignment: Lawful Good
>Personality: Protective, Kind, Stoic, Vengeful.
>Apperance: Tall pale woman with steel grey eyes and long dark hair. She wears a pure white dress with an iron circlet on her head. In her right hand she carries a sword of divine light and on her left hand she wears a steel gauntlet and carries a book of laws.

>>1283706
I'll use six points and get some in the one tile of water that the three surround.

>>1283749
Use six of my points to add 4 tiles to the one tile island in the north, doesn't matter where.

>>1283770
Just asking, so I can keep track of things more easily, could people put their god's name in their post/user tag?
Also, not as important, but also manage their Power as they post.

>>1283790
No problem. Though the three in the thread have posted now, are we moving to turn 2?

>>1283825
I think we will, the other guy can join back in later.
Everyone gets another 2d6+5 Power, and now the rounds will move forward every forty minutes once people are done rolling.

Rolled 5, 1 + 5 = 11 (2d6 + 5)

>>1283832
Neat. Rollin then

Rolled 4, 4 + 5 = 13 (2d6 + 5)

>>1283832
Current power saved = 7

>>1283836
>>1283856
We'll give the last guy ten minutes.

Rolled 1, 5 + 4 = 10 (2d6 + 4)

>>1283868
I strike a roll.
Saved power: 5

>>1283897
Just in time

You have forty minutes to do your stuff. If finished earlier, we'll move on. If you haven't posted by then, we move on regardless.

>>1283906
Would changing the terrian from mountains and desert into something else count as shaping land or climate?

>>1283914
Shaping Land for mountains, climate for desert.

Current points = 14

Use 5 essence to create this Jungle landmass

Fair enough.

>At the strict orders of the deity, the mountains themselves take knee, the ground becoming less steep and barren. Grass and other flora flourish and the island becomes a pleasant and fertile place.

>>1283945
Feel free to join in.

>>1283997
I now have 10 power for this turn.

>>1283997
>>1284001
Yeah, that works- Shape Land five times leaves you with 5 Power.

>>1284022
I actually had 15 OP. I spent five to form the Jungle continent.

>>1284038
How exactly? Shape Land costs three per two Hexes, not 1. You created ten new hexes, using Shape Land, so that actually leaves you with 0 Power.

>>1284010
Thanks. /tg/ thread had a 3 god limit, didn't know if that was carrying over or if you wanted new people in after the first turn.

>>1284044
forgot to roll for PP

>>1284044
That was three gods to start, not a limit. Roll 2d6+4 for starting power.

>>1284043
Oh your right, just read the PDF. My bad.

>>1284010
>>1284001
Gonna use all of my 22 points to break the current mold and zap some life onto this world. Unto the Ocean I create Giant Leviathan's to inhabit the sea! (pic related) First creation is at the tile north-east of the black ice pillar in the sea.

I'm now at zero points for now and creator of the first life on the planet, monsters.

>>1284057
It is fine, just keep an eye on the PDF in future.

>>1284044
>>1284060
Well done. I'm going to create a shallow lagoon-like area of sea, but I'm not sure what the map is currently. Are we at >>1284010 or >>1284001

>>1284060
Create Race is usually used to create sentient species, as natural wildlife is presumed to exist already. If they're not sentient, then I'll allow you create them for 17 points instead.

>>1284080
Sentient, but in the way that dragons are sentient.

Rolled 2 + 5 (1d6 + 5)

>>1284098
How sentient is that? Are we talking 'riddle games with hobbits' or 'able to figure out where cows and delicious people are'? Do they have speech, a culture, family identities?

>>1284080
>>1284060
Actually, let's do it. The Leviathans are the first fauna in existence, sentient or non-sentient. There's plant life, but no fish, mammals or avain life forms. A pretty interesting concept.
A non-sentient race can be added for 12 points if it a real world race, e.g. bears, or 17 if mytihical.

>>1284080
I'll update it now. The purple L represents where the leviathans live.

>>1284120
thanks. Would the lagoon be a new climate or a new landmass (made of what is currently ocean)?

>>1284102
Missing 1d6 there bud

>>1284102
Sounds cool, roll another d6 for power.
May be the last to join though.

Rolled 1, 5 + 5 = 11 (2d6 + 5)

>>1284129
Ah, my bad.

Rolled 5, 6 + 5 = 16 (2d6 + 5)

Am I too late to join?

>>1284146
Probably not!

>>1284146
Absolute last guy.
>>1284098
If they are sentient, full 22 points (maybe more, because they seem like a powerful race) and you need to describe their three personality traits and whatever their physical traits are.

>>1284129
Shape Land

>>1284142
>>1284157

I'd like to build the lagoon between the two-hex mountain area, the green lands, and the upside-down L chain just above it. 9 points for six hexes. Warm and fertile (does coral count as a fish or plant life)?

Are we updating the map ourselves, or do you want to keep control of it so there's a clear continuation?

>>1284120
I guess since they would be fauna, lets go with non-sentient, but extremely territorial. They are monsters after all, dangerous ones. So 17 points for a mythical creature then.

That would leave me at 5 points, not 0.

Also, taking a look at what gods we have currently, it's a surprisingly even mix. Two Chaotic gods, two good gods, one Evil one. The rest are unaligned. It's a pretty good mix imo.

>>1284166
Darn cross-board posting took away my name.

>>1284166
You can update it yourself, if you want, because I'm not entirely sure what you wish to do with the lagoon.
After you are done, next round. Those who joined this round, if you haven't acted, don't roll.
Coral would be plant, I guess.

>>1284175
kk. Vacation home for the leviathans established

>>1284192
Nice.

Everyone who spent power this round, roll for more power. If you haven't spend power, hold on.

>>1284200
Rolling. We're at 2d6+3 for the third round, correct?

>>1284200
Going cross-board lost my tag.

Rolled 4, 1 + 3 = 8 (2d6 + 3)

>>1284204

Rolled 4, 2 + 5 = 11 (2d6 + 5)

>>1284157
>>1284171
Damn, missed some of that. As far as their traits go, Incredibly territorial. Physically, very large and strong, with two strong arms in the front for grabbing food and keeping others out of their territory. Much like the picture posted, with the exception of thick flat teeth for grounding up plant matter and whatever else it grabs to eat.

And then the roll is for points gained in the next round. I'm assuming it's still 2d6 +5

Current points: 5

>>1284212
The bonus goes down 1 every turn, according to the rules in OP

>>1284229
Got it, my bad. subtract 3 from my roll.

Rolled 4, 1 + 3 = 8 (2d6 + 3)

>>1284200

So since I'm not doing anything this round, I retain my 16 power and add it to whatever I roll next round?

>>1284252
Eight power now.

I'm also going to delay this round. 2 Power left over from my last turn, plus 8 this turn, do not leave me with many options. I'm gonna go eat some ambrosia and take a celestial nap.

Rolled 3, 5 + 3 = 11 (2d6 + 3)

>>1284200
Current points = 14

>>1284316
I'll use six of my points to connect the two mountains in the east by converting four of the ocean tiles to grassland tiles
Current power = 19

I'm going to use twelve of my points to create an upward flow of water in the marked areas on the map, creating a mile high wall surrounding the icecap. The water is pulled from the depths and pushed upward, then falls of on the side, if possible.

This leaves me with two points

>>1284607
Ops forgot to roll a dice.

Not actually a player in this game, but I'm running DoW for some friends. Had a few questions for the DM of this.

>>1283569
What do avatars actually do? Are they just a cost-reduction mechanic? Can they fight in battles?

Movement. How do armies and avatars move on the map? How much do they move?

>>1284672
I've also got a thread going on /tg/ but no one has replied. If anyone wants to go over there to talk mechanics, that'd be cool. I don't want to shit up your quest thread.

So by my count, we have

>Ishi-lo
>Jenahri
>Agulie
>Geanni
>Wicker

Going into turn 3 here, Wicker and Agulie are passing this turn, Jenahri made some grasslands (but didn't update the map) and Ishi-lo made a waterrise. Last action was 2 hours ago.

How long are we going to wait for the other 3, OP?

>>1284845
I just rolled, I'm retaining my power for now.

>>1284845
Wicker - No action
Agulie - No action
Jenahri - Connecting mountains through turning ocean to land
Ishi-lo - Waterwall shit

We're missing action for
>Izl'aksii-Krosis, God of Intrigue, Deception, and Inspection
>Ari'kratin, God of the Eastern Desert
>Geanni, god of Nature, Plant Life, and the Hunt

>>1284714
Meh it's fine.

>>1285319
Yes, I'm going to wait for the next round. No action for me.

I'm a tourist from /tg/, so I'm not sure how it works here. Is it usual for OP to wander off mid-turn without a word?

Rolled 1, 4 + 5 = 10 (2d6 + 5)

I'll start up my own DoW if no one posts up in a half hour. If not, here's my God, and roll for initial PP.
