Bio
Been on-and-off of the site for a long time. Male, late-twenties. My interests are varied, but steer towards western fantasy and sci-fi. I'm picky with my weeb media.

Hiya' Raineh, Tatsua, and Nex, firstly.
The Gods will not only have tangible effects, they will actually be physically present. As far as scale of power, try to think less God, and more Greek Demigod heroes, though that won't quite do them justice, and I'd prefer everyone refrained from a Greek motif.
The Gods will not have formed the world, but they were formed with it. Therefore, the world will already have been created, and the Gods will simply have their stake on whatever land suits them. There are no rules about making appearances in front of mortals unless your god has made that law for themselves. And yes, Gods will probably be taking to the battlefield. An army fielding a God would stand at an obvious advantage against an army that wasn't.
Which brings me to my next detail, the Gods will have unique powers, but also universal powers such as improved durability over a mortal, immunity to aging, etc. I'll list all of those in the OOC. However, the Gods will not be impervious to harm. A single God could fell battalions of mortals, but wouldn't necessarily fare so well against an entire army. Depending on the God's unique abilities, it's actually possible for a God to be felled by, say, a really lucky catapult shot. The unique abilities for each God will determine how effective they are in combat. This will be balanced by how effective they are as a leader.

Do the gods that we create have real, tangible effects on our nation's affairs? Would this be more free-form or statistics based?

would the gods form the terrain of the land or would the land be fully created and we just pick a region? Edit: also are there like laws where gods cant appear in front of their believers or do anything that directly affects the world, like appear in the middle of a battle and destroy the enemy.

/\ I haven't really had any issues so far, to be honest. I spilled hot ramen on my crotch once. That sucked.

Games: The Metal Gear Solid series. Fallout, of course. I'd also recommend picking Skyrim up if you have't played the DLC. Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver holds up, if you're not a stickler for graphics. Dragon Age, Mass Effect, and the lot are also quite good.
Movies: Not sure what you're into, but I'd suggest Jacob's Ladder, John Dies at the End, and the Man of Steel movie was really good. I'dd also recommend watching (or more likely re-watching) The Matrix trilogy, as that shit remains fucking awesome.
Shows: Try Lost, Game of Thrones, Sherlock, and some of the others you likely hear about a lot. Chances are you hear about them often because they're good. That said, if you watch Supernatural, stop after the first ending. You'll know what I'm talking about.
I may have bitten off more than I can chew. If anyone's still interested in this, I'm more than willing to relinquish my spot as GM.

Tried this on oldguild, and I vaguely remember it going okay. Basically, high-fantasy universe create-a-nation roleplay. However, our nations will be ruled by active gods. You will be creating your own races to live in your nation, and your own culture, etc. Any takers?
Nations it is then.
