Okay, so I think I'll hold off on applying at this point in time as I just don't feel like my writing meets the standards set by this roleplay. It's nothing personal, but I just can't shake the feeling that my writing isn't good enough yet for this.

It's a very cool roleplay though and I hope it goes well.

Given a challenge, rise to the occasion.

This is not an easy journey and 9 out 10 will die in the process.


While I understand the sentiment, as one of film's most famous heroes has said, never tell me the odds. Unless the journey is literally Russian Roulette, precise odds are meaningless. More powerful beings will obviously have better odds that weaker beings. We'd rather know why the journey is dangerous or otherwise difficult.

A difficult journey also does not need to be fatal. It might just require an enormous expenditure of power to traverse (e.g. spaceflight) or it might be hard to find (e.g. a connection which is only sometimes open).

P.S. This isn't a critical flaw in your sheet. I just thought I'd bring it up.

@TurboWraith From discussions on Discord, we are satisfied that you have enough for Foe to do to not get bored. You are Approved. You may add your character and Sphere to the wiki.

@Antarctic Termite You have pages on the wiki. Now please put some actual information on those pages.

@BBeast I've added that bit to make clear that crossing from Sphere to Sphere is no easy or trivial task for mortals even with a Gateway (though only the Lustrous Garden's stat takes into account the potential future Gateway), hence why something like the idea of a pilgrimage that takes one through numerous spheres can't be done if my understanding is correct. I've included it as a precaution as it was one of the points highlighted in the reviews of my first CS. If I've misunderstood or if that is something that need not be in the CS I can take it out!

@Kho, I really like the idea of a pilgrimage through numerous spheres, though! Theoretically it should be possible for mortals to plot a course through the spheres after several sacrifices give them enough info on which path is safe.

@Doll Maker We are satisfied with the changes you have made. You have also given us assurances that you have coordinated with Vec and TurboWraith and that you are planning a border with the Palace of Dreams. As such, Ekon is accepted.



In other news, we regret to inform you that @jetipster has handed in his resignation, with circumstances beyond his control preventing him from continuing with us at present. We wish him the best. This also means that the Cold Portfolio is open.

Just a heads up folks, we'll get the might points and age parameters up in a short while. Take this time to do some early interaction and/or 'wuh'ing. A quick turn zero while us GMs get our shit together.

Say hi to your new pantheon-mates!

Our apologies for the delays.

@Cyclone on the Discord, by way of summary:

1) Everyone was just summoned; the Architect has imbued them with understanding of one another and of a vague idea of what their purpose should be.
2) You have a chance to (briefly) try speaking to the Architect or one another, but he's willing all of the gods to step onto a crystal and fly off.
3) These crystals are one-way tickets to wherever your god's Sphere will be. Galbar is currently quite empty and has little besides a great ocean and a few rocky and barren islands.

The 0th post is too obscure for important announcements.

Here is what is in it.

It is currently Turn 1, and every god has 5MP and 20FP to spend. This is the Age of Creation--the very dawn of this world, the time in which the Spheres are to be crafted and Galbar shaped and readied for life.

This Age, FP can be used for the following things:
The creation of Spheres,
The creation of ecosystems, on Galbar or in Spheres,
The sculpting or creation of landscapes and geographical features
The creation of one Gateway (only the first for any given god can be bought with FP; all following ones will require MP)

As a reminder, it has been decided that during this Age FP cannot be spent to purchase abilities or create artifacts. That will require MP. Also worth mentioning is that the creation of sapient mortals and/or extraordinary beings are NOT on the FP catalogue for this turn; the following Ages to come will shift focus towards mortals and monsters. For now, the focus is on laying the groundworks with basic ecosystems like forests and relatively simple wildlife.

On second thoughts I'm going to have to leave Chopstick's response to Narzhak and Ashalla for tomorrow, since it's now too late to continue. See y'all in ten hours.

Everyone, I made a map. The little rocky islands are too small to see on the map, and their positions and quantity are undetermined anyway.



We have a lot of people in this RP, and I suspect almost all of them will be building something on Galbar in the next few Turns. Continents in particular are quite important, as they shape where we put everything else.

As such, I kindly request this of everyone: If you make something on Galbar that's large enough or important enough to go on a global map, download the image, scrawl what you had just made onto the map using MS Paint or something, then post the map back onto the forum or Discord (or both. Inside the Summary is a natural place to put it). Then, when the next player makes something else on Galbar, they can download the updated map and draw their stuff on that. I (or someone else who asks for the Paint-Dot-Net files) will make a tidier version on an irregular basis.

The motivation for this is to reduce confusion and be clear where you have put your continents and stuff. If you rely on words alone to describe the position and shape of landmasses and major locations, then we'll get 27 different interpretations of where your thing is and what it looks like. And with 27 people trying to cram all their stuff onto a globe, these differences in interpretation can get problematic. I remember in Mk 2, with a central map-maker with only written descriptions to go off, every new version of the map would need substantial modification to get the features right. If, however, you draw it down yourself, then it is perfectly clear for all to see. For small features and if editing the map is impractical, you can also use the longitude and latitude to specify the feature's location with decent precision.

This is not mandatory. I merely ask that you do it as a courtesy to your other players.

This scheme is also experimental; I've got no idea if it will work well or if it will fall apart in shambles (although it will obviously work better if people use it). But I figured that it is worth a try.

Mount Chop was made from a single tiny island in a tropical latitude. If anyone's raising continents, you can choose to have either leave it in the sea or have it raised up with your landmass.

While I'm going nuts with the portfolios, did anyone have their hearts set on Cuisine or Lanterns? The former fits well with Chopstick's general themes, and the latter is just an aesthetic I'd love having, like Kites.

@Oraculum@DracoLunaris@Crispy Octopus Your characters are the only ones I think there's a risk of stepping toes on, with Knives, Kites and Lanterns, respectively.

Random object portfolios are the future, my dudes
