Dawn of Worlds Worldbuilding Game (Playing as gods, shaping a world)

[Vahir]

Okay, we have a tabletop sub-forum, it seems time to resurrect this idea.

Dawn of Worlds, for those who don't know, is a game where we play as gods, and take turns doing god-like things as the ages pass, with the idea being the development of a world, with its own unique cultures, civilizations, and of course beliefs. The rulebook is available online in this pdf.

If we do this, I'd be looking for a smallish group, four, maybe five players.

This is interesting. I would like to try it out.

[Vahir]

Awesome!

I know my post is a bit bare atm, but I've been burned a few too many times hosting this RP, putting lots of effort into OP's without anyone actually joining. I'll flesh out the rules and procedure when a few more people join.

[TalijaKey]

I read the rule book first thats why it took me a while to answer XD

[clanjos]

Eh, what the heck, worldbuilding's always fun.

[Voltus_Ventus]

I'll do this.

[Vahir]

Awesome, three players already! Figure four of us should be more than adequate for this kind of game. I'll wait for one or two more people before actually starting this thing (to have a cushion for leavers), but I'll try to get an OOC up with more details ASAP.

Hey, I am one or two people! (I'm interested matey)

And I make 5.

Alright, I'll have the OOC sometime tomorrow night. In the meantime, I'd like to ask you guys something: Would you be willing to RP it out and create personalized gods as characters, like in other RPs, or would you prefer to play it without RPing, acting as players around a table instead of characters? I'm leaning towards the former myself, but I'd like your input.

[clanjos]

I assumed we'd be roleplaying as the gods, honestly.

[TalijaKey]

hm... we could be gods around a table playing the game of creation? The rules were written so no god cheated and tries to size all the power in the world etc.

Of course god of Luck would be frowned upon to manipulate his dice rolls XP

What I mean in the end we could play as players with a around the table conversation of god characters. I think it would be fun.

[rush99999]

I don't mind either way.

[OscarioTheGuy]

Roleplaying as the gods would be cool.

[Voltus_Ventus]

Oh yes! It's @OscarioTheGuy! The goy who hates bioshock infinite!

:3

[OscarioTheGuy]

What? I like bioshock infinite tho. But I remember you! (Just your username tho I don't remember which RP we were in)

[Voltus_Ventus]

Characters in a steampunk world? We had spider man and princess laya.

[Dark Light]

I've played similar games on other sites that turn out really good. Had much more then four players tho, I can't say I'm interested until I see the rules. I'll keep an eye on this ;)

@Voltus_Ventus

That's right! I was a steampunk one armed genie!

Hurray for OOCs
