Glory Days.

[Earth]

You wake up.

All you have left, out of a staggering empire that lacked nothing (Or everything, but we don't care about that now) is a simple shell, out of armies of thousands (Or hundreds) of them, and yet it is the most important one you could ever want: A worker. So, lets begin making that empire again, eh?

 

Okay, very short and terribackstory aside, this is the new game I was thinking of. You are a Spirit, one of the 'gods' of the realm, feared or reveared by the people of the realm. Your armies, workers, and general populace will be made up of 'Shells', magically created vessels with tools, weapons, or skills that caused them to be made. Unfortunately, there was an.. Accident.. during the golded age of your, and other Spirits, rule, sealing all of you away for a time and disintigrating most of the Shells. When you woke up, wherever you were, your vast empire was gone, all the buildings looted and decayed. The only thing even remotely resembling a usefull object for you, would be the Worker. It is basically INDESTRUCTABLE, but can be injured and will, if that happens, be pulled out for repairs. IF YOU LOSE THAT WORKER, IT'S GAME OVER. Unless you can make another one, and until then your industry will grind to a halt, because you need that worker to keep everything going.

 

Now, this game is a blend of Hegomony and D'neering, but in a different way than Space. Later on in the game, you may get minion spirits, or make them. These little buggers can inhabit Shells, but aren't terribly bright.. They can help you do your dirty work with a little less effort on your part, leaving you to keep plotting and working on schemes. Them being stupid and all, they could screw up whatever you wanted done, so it's a dcision of whether to get the job done right, or let it have more risks so you can do other stuff.

 

Other things will be made apaprent as the game goes on, but this WILL take place on the IRC chat client.

[Retech]

Still confused. :P

[Earth]

Tell me what you're confused about and I'll try to explain.

[Retech]

Are shells more like automatons or suits? As in, do they function by themselves or do you have to be in the shell?

[Earth]

Both. You can give a Shell specific instructions to follow, which makes the Worker so valuable. Instead of having to slog through the grind of digging out a home for yourself, you can just give it some plans, make specific orders, and bam, it's working and you can plan and ask questions.

 

OBviously, that doesn't work so well in combat, where even the best plans go awry. Thats when you want to be in the shell and piloting it..

 

Although, if you mean that do you need to be Magically IN the shell, yes.. It requires magic to function, you give it the magic. You don't have to do much else to keep it running.

[Earth]

Do you have any other Questyions or do you want me to clarify some more stuff?.. I know i'm not the clearest of people.

[Nexaduro]

o.o

 

How do we build stuff?

 

How do we make more shells?

 

Can we do divine god st00f?

 

Can I be Cthulhu?

[archimage_a]

Ok. So simply:

 

We are Gods.

We have the ability to 'possess' an individual called 'The Worker'

We can also tie other spirits to 'The Worker', but they are not as good as if you control them.

 

 

If we get more 'The Worker' then we can use minions to control them, and have them do useful things.

 

AKA, instead of building a town by ourselves, we use our 20 minions with 'The Worker's.

 

 

I think that is basically it.

[Earth]

Eyupp. As I said, the worker builds. You can't do squat by yourself, so you're quite lucky the Worker is alive.. Shells can be made only through specialized forges. You can'y expect to put a rock with a rock and say it's a Shell. God stuff no, you aren't ACTUALLY gods, you just.. Are the only thing close enough to be them. And no, you cna't be Cthulu unless you make a shell to look like it.

Edit: Any more questions, or can we move on to making a schedule that works for everyone?

[Earth]

How do Thursday sessions sound to anyone who's playing? And can I get a post or soemthing from each of you so I know whos playing and who's not?

[archimage_a]

Hell, I will give it a try.

 

Styx

Demi-God of the Underworld

[Jehosaphat]

Worth a shot.

 

Playing as Joe, Lord of the Mundane.

[Retech]

Jen,

 

Lord of Vengeance

[The_Mather1]

Håkon, Lord of Honor.

[Earth]

Cool. Titles mean your shells look a litttlle different. Mkaes it easier to differentiate who's who on the Battlefield. And, last question, do you want this on IRC or the Forums?

EdIT: Polled it so it's easier.

[Nexaduro]

Nex,

 

LORD OF STRANGE GLOWY HUES OF GREEN!

[Earth]

Okay then. I'll wait until everyone has voted, then start up the session around.. 5 o clock EST?

[Leiana]

I change my mind, I'll give it a go.

 

Arrin, Death's Trusted Servant. (lol, I almost went with Lynx, but I can't)

[Earth]

Right then. Half an hour until the Session starts as a heads up.

[Retech]

I might have early (Nex too) to perform at Graduation.

[Earth]

Kay, good to know.

[Earth]

... Judging by the votes, we'll be playing on the Forums. Sound off, who's here and who isn't?

[Resistance]

I'd rather IRC personally.

 

Also, I am a character but I don't have a name yet because I want it to be a good name.

[Earth]

Votes went to Forums, although that could be invalidated because I voted and I prolly shouldn't have. Set your vote to whatever you want mate, and I won't count mine.

[Earth]

Roight then, IRC it is... Oh well.
