''Dawn of Worlds'' is a TabletopGame that is distributed for free. Find it [[http://www.clanwebsite.org/games/rpg/Dawn_of_Worlds_game_1_0Final.pdf here]]. Unlike most role playing games, in which the players roleplay as mortals on quests inside a world, Dawn of Worlds has the players roleplay as [[PhysicalGod gods]] making an entirely new world--a collaborative world-building exercise.

Gameplay is divided into three phases: the First Age, wherein the gods shape the world, creating forests, mountains, rivers, deserts, swamps, etc., the Second Age, wherein the world is populated by races, and the Third Age, wherein the various races of the world interact with each other. Note that each Age is not ''exclusively'' about one aspect of the game; a mountain can be raised in the Third Age, but it will cost more power to do so. Power is determined each turn by rolling a 2d6, and players receive power bonuses by finishing a turn with five power or less.

!!The ''Dawn of Worlds'' TV Tropes roleplay provides examples of:
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Being skilled in Godsteel crafting allows the R'lek to make these on a regular basis.
* BilingualBonus: The results of Cwper's work tend to have Welsh meanings.
%%* BreakingTheFourthWall: Done on a regular basis by Malunall and done once in an BonusMaterial-type scene.
* CaptainErsatz: Hammurabi, Codex's avatar, is a straight ripoff of Ramiel of ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion''.
%%* CharacterAlignment:
%%** Codex is LawfulGood.
%%** Morality (duh) is NeutralGood.
%%** Arane and Malunall are ChaoticNeutral.
%%** Cwper is TrueNeutral.
%%** Besak is LawfulEvil.
* HailfirePeaks: The lava pit in an arctic waste.
* HiveMind: The Reptex's Bardic Knowledge is explained as the Bards having a shared hub of knowledge known as the [[VideoGame/{{Starcraft}} Over-Bard.]]
* HumanSacrifice: A small cult of humans in Prowessia have been persuaded to do this by Arane.
* FantasyGunControl: Completely averted. The Azers have guns already.
* TheFederation: Avian society is pretty much this; they're great diplomats and even have a central hall, the Parthenon, to resolve disputes.
* FloatingIsland: Made by Cwper, a group of them have a yearly cycle around most of the southern continent.
%%* LavaPit: Originally made by Codex, birthplace of both the Hyras and the R'lek.
* {{Magitek}}: Azer rifles + Avian magic + Humans = Lightning rifles.
%%* PlantPeople: First off the Handalen sort of, quickly followed by the Ents.
* {{Shapeshifting}}: Malunall's avatar is named Jeff [[SpellMyNameWithAThe The]] [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Shapeshifter.]]
* SandIsWater: Normal Loess can use their sand magic to sail on sand.
* ShoutOut:
** The Azers are essentially a race of Kaminas--Malunall later refers to ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' by name--and are in fact taken from ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons''.
** Morality's avatar is named [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Celestia]]. His ''other'' avatar is named...[[Franchise/CthulhuMythos Cuth'clu]], the...''Neutral Good'' tentacled monstrosity who ''also'' takes the form of the winged elves.
* SuperStrength: The R'lek aren't abnormally strong, but taking a fist of Godsteel to the face isn't going to be pretty.
* TemptingFate: Morality, the NiceGuy, makes the race of Kraken, tentacled creatures from the deep. He gives them +1 good alignment--but whatever can be done can also be undone...
* VerbalTic: The Gnolls pepper their speech with fratboy-esque phrases, ''bro,'' and ''no homo.''
%%* WingedHumanoid: The Avians.
* ZeppelinsFromAnotherWorld: The Nomad Avians have been given aeronautic advancements by Cwper, and, using some bulbous plants, these quickly develop.
