->''Mystic just naturally gravitates to making her gods into either creepypasta or something even worse, it seems. Arlom...Was worse than Belithia though.''

Not to be confused with the [[TabletopGame/LordsOfCreation roleplaying game]] published in the mid-eighties or the [[Literature/TheLordsOfCreation series of books]] by SM Sterling. To see another iteration of this game played by some different people with possibly more dysfunctional gods [[Roleplay/LordsOfCreationFateOfTheFaithful click here]]

A [[PlayByPost play by post]] game on the [[http://www.giantitp.com/forums GitP forums]] that focuses on a group of, at first, Twelve new gods and goddesses who ascended via the act of [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu deicide]]. Each of them has their own quirks and is played by a specific forumite. They play using a point based system in which they start out at max power and earn a certain number of points, based on their divine rank, every saturday in real time. Unlike most games there is no win condition, the entire point of a lords of creation game is to weave a complex story and create a diverse new world mirroring what would happen if the gods really did embody certain principles and argue like children. Many [[XanatosGambit devious schemes]] will doubtless be launched in an attempt to gain supremacy and power. The game itself can be found [[http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=266509 here]], the out-of-character discussion can be found [[http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=266477 here]]



Has a [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/LordsOfCreationHistoryOfTheUsurpers character sheet]]

!!Tropes:

* AccidentalHero: Almost all the the twelve starting players ascended via killing their gods by accident. Only one of them actually did it with the express purpose of ending a god's life.
* AGodIsYou: The entire premise of the Lords of creation game is that you are a god and so are all of your friends and enemies.
* AlternateUniverse: Every one of the new gods became that way by successfully offing a god in their own universe, now they have to create their own and hopefully not screw it up.
* AlwaysChaoticEvil: Subverted, there is only a single chaotic evil god among the Original Twelve. There are two neutral evil ones and one lawful evil though.
* AnIcePerson: Aeron, The White Queen, is the goddess of winter and has this power.
* AStormIsComing: Crux, The Broken Storm, is followed by an ever-present smoky mantle that occasionally turns into a thunder cloud.
* BackgroundMagicField: The new universe has one of these thanks to Gharda, The Old.
* BlessedWithSuck: Margereta, The Charcoal Virgin, has mastery over fire, which she dislikes immensely, and loves the ocean, which she cannot go anywhere near without boiling it.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Quite a few of the gods are this. Crux, The Broken Storm, even speaks in blue and orange.
* CoolSword: Very few of the gods actually have weapons but Baelor, The Iron Tyrant, wields a massive sword that is as black as midnight, he used it to kill his predecessor.
* DeusEstMachina: Oxonj, the Synthetic Mind, is a deity that takes the form of a construct that falls into the UncannyValley.
* DesolationShot: Aeron, The White Queen, has the winter domain but more surprisingly her portfolio is (Desolation).
* EvilOverlord: While there are four evil gods there is only one that embodies this properly. Baelor, The Iron Tyrant
* FateWorsethanDeath: What Margereta, The Charcoal Virgin, does to those who she "kills." Since death leads to paradise or reincarnation, she eats their souls and they remain alive within her, burning forever.
* GodOfEvil: Being a game in which everyone is a god, there are four of these.
* GodOfGood: As above their are four lawful good gods.
* HumongousMecha: The architects, a race of massive floating factory-citadels that are controlled by Oxonj, The Synthesized Mind.
* InsistentTerminology: The gods and goddesses are always written with their titles directly after their name.
* OurMermaidsAreDifferent: They are complete and utter nuisances and are only kept in check by The Eternal Serpent, Leviathan and the Quetzalcoatl's.
* PlayingWithFire: Margareta, The Charcoal Virgin, is practically the embodiment of this trope.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: All of the players are odd and they have skewed their gods in ways that appeal to them. Needless to say this results in some odd combinations like the page quote would imply.
* RequisiteRoyalRegalia: Quite a few of the gods have this and it is listed individually on the character page.
* SeaMonster: The first fabled creature was created within minutes of the games start. It was The Eternal Serpent, Leviathan.
* SenselessSacrifice: Hubris, The Glorious Lord and Crux, The Broken Storm are both capable of restoring their lost limbs, they just don't want to.
* ShockAndAwe: Crux, The Broken Storm, is the god of storms and this trope is his thing.
** The Vanguards utilize electricity as their primary weapon.
* ShootTheMessenger: A retinue of troll diplomats representing Baelor, The Iron Tyrant were brutally murdered by Hubris, The Glorious Lord for being disrespectful.
* SpikesOfVillainy: Baelor, The Iron Tyrant, has these.
* TheAlliance: Oxonj,Yankeeyu, Crux, and Rassin formed an Alliance to protect their respective interests.
* TheNothingAfterDeath: Originally the new world was like this after Gharda, The Old, created immortal souls. Syimi gave the souls a possibility of a true afterlife.
* ThePlague: A rather vicious one was unleashed on multiple continents by Helkarava, The Glorious One.
* ThePowerOfTheSun: Yanyeeku, The Benevolent God Of Kings, created the sun and the concepts of heat and light.
* TheStarsAreGoingOut: The Stars in this world are literally sleeping gods. Whenever a Star goes out it means another God has awakened. Theoretically if they all wake up there will be no more stars.
* TheTrickster: All of the less-serious gods have traces of this.
* WaveMotionGun: The Vanguards can fire a lightning bolt that can annihilate large swathes of land when several dozen of them work together.
* WinterRoyalLady: Aeron, The White Queen, is the goddess of winter and, as her title would imply, a queen.
* WizardingSchool: Gharda, The Old, is intent on opening one in the new world.
* YouKillItYouBoughtIt: The method as to how a mortal ascends to godhood.
