Dawn of Worlds Discussion Thread

Well, uh, nobody has any coastal cities, and squid don't do so great on land, so...

Also, uh, in the fluff, are the Perelandran Avians aware of the other races? The R'lek have met and interacted with the Nomads and Hyras, and are plausibly aware of the Perelandrans, but I don't know about the Peleandrans themselves...

Well now the Handelan have a coastal city.

Anyway, they're basically Halflings with plants for hair and an semi-prehensile ivy-bush stuck of their backs.

Somewhat odd question, but if multiple players pool points to make a race (as mentioned under create race), would they each get a free sect in that civilization? (Since it says the creating player gets a sect)

EDIT: Saw that it says that the creator(s) of a race get the sect for free.

After post EDIT: Basically, he's suggesting the creation of a seperate race of demigods. My thought is that we could each pay 1 point towards creation and get a free sect in the race. Other than that, I thought that we could say that for each point a player puts towards the race (in advancement, corruption, purification, city-building, army-building, land, etc), that player gets a new demigod that joins the race.

Each would be basically the same as a member of a previous race, except for advancements - with each demigod being roughly the equivalent of a small group from the race they were drawn from.

We're allowed more than one Avatar?

...

I guess I should have asked instead of assuming.

How many Avatars are we each allowed in total?

Um, as many as you want?

EDIT: So I assume this means Taco can roll twice next turn.

EDIT*2: And a PSA, this is 10* easier than random.org to use.

Actually, I was thinking of just taking my turn later this 'cycle,' then resuming my normal turn directly after Chubert.

Um. Well, we don't know when you're going to be back by, so when do you think you'd fit into the cycle?

Sunday evening EST. I figure I'll go between Morality and Besak or something.

Okay, so if you come...somewhere between Morality and Besak, go, after Besak, don't go and just wait for me to post. Sound good?

Yeah, cool.

Hey Luthen, what would you say to the idea of you and me pooling points to joint-create the Ents?

Sure, Why Not?

Any way in particular you think we should handle it from an IC perspective?

Well, Morality could approach Cwper with the idea. Then when it gets to my post we could include the actual creation.

Where would they be based? Or would each get subrace for each forest?

Edit: Or I guess, we could do more than one post per round again...

Alright then.

I've just gotten the conversation going.

Oh hey, collaboration!

Meanwhile everyone else is gearing up for war. Ladies and gentlemen, our pantheon!

I think the Ents should be ready as a species, Cwper just needs to put them down somewhere. Unless you'd like the creation process to go on longer.

Okay. So, um, Passer's kinda gone, again.

That is who we're waiting on at the moment, isn't it?

Yup.

Sorry about that - my grandpa's needed someone to keep an eye on him and I'm the only one without a job during the day.

Getting post up now.

The only thing better than rules pedantry is rules pedantry done well after the transgression occurred!

Taco, when you first raised armies in Incendia, you raised two, which you can't do:

so yeah. If you want to do anything, you can reduce the number of armies in Incendia by 1 and give yourself 4 power, or you don't have to do anything.

Um, edit to say that imgur isn't working for me, so I can't upload a map until this evening, around 7 PST. Marinares is on the right side of the mouth of the river on the Avians' island. If anybody makes changes to the map, make your post, wait until I post my map this evening, and then just make your changes and upload it to the DT.

So were you planning on keeping track of advancements and developments, too?

oh, shit, i forgot.

argh.

ummm. okay. I am actually planning on writing a trope page for this thing, so I'll post advancements and cities and EVERYTHING, I SWEAR when that happens, maybe around this weekend? And I'll update every turn. I swear. Really.
