Anthr4xus Posted November 29, 2022 Author Clone Share Posted November 29, 2022 I would be inclined to lean in on the idea that nothing has a soul until it is explicitly given one. Some of the other big concepts that come to mind we are missing are gravity or a means to measure time. I am working on there being an inherent "Starkin cycle" that is roughly equivalent to a "year" just to give some framing for the passage of time.

The Stranger Posted November 29, 2022 Clone Share Posted November 29, 2022 No way to tell time means no deadlines. But yeah, gravity doesn't exist, which means people can float off into space. I guess everyone is just very careful not to do that... except that do, do that and are never seen again.

Anthr4xus Posted November 29, 2022 Author Clone Share Posted November 29, 2022 (edited) Eh, one of the Greater Drakes or a Tolig should notice them and toss them back towards solid ground (or eat them) before too long. or they may luck into catching some iron webs or something like that.

The Stranger Posted November 29, 2022 Clone Share Posted November 29, 2022 What if instead of gravity there was a giant safety web across the entire world, so that if you float too far, you can just jump off of it back down. But if you go through the web, that's it. You had your chance. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthr4xus Posted November 29, 2022 Author Clone Share Posted November 29, 2022 That sounds like a Mythic concept to me... It is worth noting that since we are in a "bubble" of Reality surrounded by non-reality there is some kind of finiteness to our reality. At least that is my interpretation.

Rumrunner Posted November 30, 2022 Clone Share Posted November 30, 2022 Just change the way gravity is described... Everything is moving fast to a portal to another plane, except there's ground stopping them.

The Stranger Posted November 30, 2022 Clone Share Posted November 30, 2022 (edited) That's a good idea. You would have to use the create plane action, create portal, and then create a mythic concept, I think. The concept being portal suction. The portal would be at the center of the shattered world. Then we could build a safety net around the portal... and if you fall through that, then that's it. You had your chance.

Kaiju Cuddlebug Posted November 30, 2022 Clone Share Posted November 30, 2022 16 hours ago, Avaday Daydream said: By the way, @Kaiju Cuddlebug, I've noticed that Takayaane doesn't seem to be spending any AP? Maybe now there's dragons about, you could use your Power domain to mutate them into fire dragons, lightning dragons, ice dragons...? Or make some of the plants and creatures Veshwoon has made, even bigger? Massive trees with branches that link asteroids together? Fireflies that radiate light and heat to nourish nearby plant life? I'm still looking for a reason for Takayaane to spend AP. Takayaane has two objectives: 1) protecting the universe's continued existence, and 2) making the universe worth protecting. Takayaane's still searching for means of judging which objective is the priority. Not sure where it'll lead, but looking forward to finding out!

The Stranger Posted November 30, 2022 Clone Share Posted November 30, 2022 (edited) Hope you feel better soon, Avaday. Saving your points for the next Epoch or even longer is valid, Kaiju. What do you think about Rumrunner joining the game? I am all for it.

Rumrunner Posted November 30, 2022 Clone Share Posted November 30, 2022 Does this world have to follow real world phenomena/rules. I have an idea, one that may irritate other gods, but may not, but I think it could be fun regardless. Can I create a center mass of water in the middle of the shattered world, then it reach out all tendrilly like one of those static orbs to all the significant floating/airborne land bits, creating a spring of water on each that runs from rivers off the edge back down to the center. This would make for potentially many rainbows. Also I want the landmasses to move in a pattern that tracks similar to the starkin, and invent astronomy. I may make Mermaids as a mythical creature or maybe just sentient with a power or artifact in the watercore that can operate the eternal springs. I'm totally spit balling, so if these ideas are too invasive, I'm happy to collaborate... alternatively could just fill all the gaps with water to create a deep dark ocean, but that's less pretty, I could create the first bit then someone else fill it in, I mean, I could see my goddess creating this ultra radiant overthetop rainbowness explosion on the world, that some of the other gods may just say... "that's a little much, lets tone this down some" Oh, and idea for the goddess is accumulated divinity by the starkin during their first pass through the cosmos, manifesting turning their once per epoch swirl of lights, divine child of light. So the dark progenitor, is kinda sorta my grandpa. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthr4xus Posted November 30, 2022 Author Clone Share Posted November 30, 2022 (edited) I love the visual of millions of cascading waterfalls flowing from the countless masses of the world and the Starkin shine filling the aether with rainbows. I think that is really cool. While it is nice and polite of you to ask, I see part of the purpose of the game is to see how we can each build off of and on top of each others creations. As long as we are all on the same plane, I don't see how we could not. Welcome to the game. It's been discussed elsewhere, but the general consensus has been that if an aspect of reality has not been explicitly created or stated to exist in the initial post then it does not exist. So currently the reality is masses of elemental chunks and the various gods and their creations moving about in a breathable aetheric atmosphere that fills the bubble universe. There is no gravity or "attraction of mass", water cycle, or patterned motion of movement (other than the Starkin), so for your waterfall idea to work you will need to make some kind of concept or aspect of the water itself to cause a "falling" effect.

The Stranger Posted November 30, 2022 Clone Share Posted November 30, 2022 (edited) I like your version of the 'oceans'. It's more interesting than recreating our existing concept of oceans. I don't know what you would call it or how you would describe it taking place, but yeah making the water and then making a concept that acts on the water to get it to do what you want sounds like the way to go. Welcome to the game. One other thing I noticed; you haven't picked a portfolio. Your Domain is Light, so you're good at all things light. Your portfolio is sort of a specific aspect of light that you are best at (though at the start, it doesn't give any mechanical benefit). At least, that's my understanding of it. So, you might be Light (Beauty) if you want. Though you might want to save Beauty for your next Domain. Although, I don't see why you can't have Light (Beauty) and Beauty (Something Else), eventually. I guess the only reason you would not want that, is that the overlap is a bit redundant, and it narrows down what you are good at.
