The Recuitment Thread is here (http://slangdesign.com/forums/index.php?topic=970.new#new).


I'm a little lacking in creativity today, so here's a map I busted out in a minute.  I decided to christen this land "Grand Fenwick"

If everyone's cool with it, we can begin the First Age.

And so begins the first age. . .

Round 1 (Year 1 - Year 500)

In the beginning there was nothing.  An amorphous continent surrounded by some vaguely blue and oceanlike surface.  4 deities looked down on this barren wasteland and decided to make it their own.  They smiled down upon the world they were to create, and it was good.

In those earliest years, Porastun made his first marks on the world, driving a deep trench and filling it with water to create an island off the southeast corner of the continent (3 points).  He then summoned a massive volcano on this newly separated land mass, curious to see what changes and benefits this might bring (3 points)...
(2 remaining)

Okay, you've got 9 points left for your turn (I'll just make the initiative roll also the Power Level Roll).  If you end your turn with under 5 points, you get a +1 cumulative bonus on your next power roll (up to +5).

I was using the 8 I originally rolled and thought that each thing required 3 points, though I could spend more if you think I should...

Sekur Gisu brought forth a dense forest near the river (Shape Terrain 2" - 6 points).

In the new age when the other God's were busy building a lush land for life to flourish Kakistos decided to include a barren harsh wasteland where virtually nothing could survive.

Shape Land 1" 2x spending all 6 of my points down to 0

Porastun works on the island, further separating it further from the main land by sinking land under the sea (3 points).  He then blankets the island volcano in a thick fog (2 points).  With a bit of his remaining power, he digs a deep canyon into the northern canyon (3 points)...

Looking down, Vensilous decides to expand on his river yet again, hoping many civilizations will use it for sustenance.  (8 points of land transformation leaving me with 5 points.)

While no one was looking, Sekur Gisu shaped forty mountains in the northeast corner.  That's as many as four tens.  And that's good.  He then draped them in a dense fog.

(3 for shape land + 2 for climate = 3 points remaining)

Kakistos saw merit in providing a reason for creatures to attempt to cross his harsh unforgiving desert, so he created a lush green paradise on the other side, complete with a beach.

"It will be entertaining to watch the lesser beings of this world suffer across the desert." he says to himself amused.

Shape Land 2x 6 points. Total Points now at 3.

Porastun shapes the land on the southern part of the continent, bringing forth a beach and forest along the coast (6 points).  He then sought to bring some life to the desert by creating a climate of high rain year round (2 points)...

Vensilous expands his river again and this time adds a lake.

: Re: Dawn of Worlds (Game Thread)
: crash2455 October 22, 2010, 05:25:15 PM

Heh, whoops.  Forgot it was my turn.

Sekur Gisu looked upon the river and its connecting lake and new that civilizations in that area would need sensible building materials.  In his benevolence, he surrounded the area with a solid granite valley.

(Shape land 3" - 9 pts, Shape Climate 2" - 4 pts = 0 Pts remaining)

Kakistos flew into a rage upon seeing his work undone, in his anger he destroyed the cavern filling it in with sand, and then dug a deep scar into the world where any mortal magic would be unable to function.

Event 10pts Anti-Magic Scar, Shape Land 3pts 14-13 = 1 pt. remaining.  The area is still rainy I just have no idea how to fix that so if one of you would be so kind as to help me out I would appreciate it.
