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?

I've not really tried nation RPs before, but I'm pretty interested in this idea. Kind of tempted to try something like an undead nation, or dwarves maybe, but we'll see how things turn out and what's acceptable. XD Or if I get another, more coherent idea. Hmmm.

Huh. :O

Elves please.

i'm in, but i would like to see the detailed information first.

This.

Tentatively interested. Want to see more details first.

Yea, details.

Details, yo!

Details?

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.

Interested; thirsting for more details.

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.

Um, interested maybe.

I could be interested in this. Been meaning to play a nation RP with a particular faction for quite some time.

Is it possible for our deities to be relations or reincarnations of previous, more powerful deities?

Well, that rundown did nothing to curb my enthusiasm, so I'm still interested. Think I'm leaning more towards dwarves at the moment, buuut we'll see how things turn out once an OOC pops up. XD

That could be a unique aspect of your personal deity. Perhaps it has some sort of messianic reincarnation like Jesus, or maybe a sort of Odinsleep knock-off. Up to you.

I'm thinking of creating a mostly subterranean nation, probably headed by the Goddess of Poverty.

By the way, you should probably start this soon, you're going to be overwhelmed by players if you don't close interest. 16 nations would be too much for even myself to handle...
