OVERVIEW:

You are a god. You are sustained and powered by the faith generated by each of your your individual followers, known as Belief. Belief is the resource you spend which allows you to create miracles. Miracles, in turn, generate further belief by enriching the lives of your followers and reminding them of your glory.

Gameplay will take place in turns known as seasons. Four seasons make a year. During each season, you have the ability to task your followers with specific duties, perform miracles, or do as you please. You are, after all, a god - and your will be done.

Voting on the choice of race begins now, I'll allow time for discussion and questions as well.

is that deerbutt?

>>17031016
Yes. But not the same deerbutt. There are many deerbutts, potentially.

Dorf.

deerbutt

I vote Hinds!

Hinds look to be the worst choice overall.

I'll vote for them anyway.

>>17031022
in that case i vote deerbutt

>>17031053
The races aren't necessarily competing against one another.

>>17031062
That is really not their choice anymore.

Dwarves.

Time to become the god of Logic, Reason, and SCIENCE.

Having highly organized, respectful worshipers who know how to prioritize is always a good thing.

>>17031071
Touche. Voting closes in 5.

>caotenu weakly

>>17031077

Is there any choice but deerbutt?

Hind. For we are the god of the Rut.

Dorf

Dwarves

>>17031077


Dwemer up in this bitch!

There's elf, but for some reason, we're going for needy deer-sluts. So elf if it matters, needy-deer-sluts if it doesn't.

Hinds! Fertility rituals and adorableness Ho!

Voting has ended.

Dorfs need a break from the spotlight. Let's see what goes down with hinds under the forest canopy.

Yeesh. Nothing but deer and dwarves.

No one's going for humans?

>>17031149
Humans look shitty in this scenario. They worship themselves more than they'll worship us, and that would make us a weak god.

Hobgoblins, because they look like Thundarians from Thundercats.

>>17031166
Agreed. Although, honestly I was hoping for dorfs or horse-people

is this a real game

>>17031194
The sprites come from Fire Emblem, I believe?

>>17031149
Perhaps another time.

Inbued with the power of the songs lifted in your honor, you manifest before your chosen people, the Hinds.

Your High Priestess is a young, cheerful doe by the name of Helili. She leads a small band of a fledgling race of deer fey who inhabit the deep forest.

When you appear amongst the ring of plump mushrooms where Helili dances, you appear as nothing more than a formless glow. Her eyes widen to see you, however, and the brightly colored garlands of flowers and tinkling bells draped in her antlers nearly shake loose as she jumps excitedly.

"You're here! You heard our singing and you came! I knew you would come!"

She looks about, as if trying to discern your presence, but finds nothing. In truth, you are not truely there. You have neither form nor purpose. This will have to be rectified if you ever intend to be worshiped properly.

WHAT IS YOUR PRIMARY DOMAIN?

>>17031265
WAR

>>17031265
magic

>>17031229
Yeah. I started out by drawing them myself, but then I became lazy.

>>17031265
Joy.

>>17031265
While it's tempting to say fertility and just go with the most obvious, I want to be a little bit more creative

I say our domain is protection. The watcher of the herds.

>>17031265
Order

>>17031265
Bonin'.

FUCKING

Also, you guys suck for not picking the Dwarves.

Magic

>>17031265
PRIMARY DOMAIN: Your primary domain is the domain to which you will be most closely associated. Miracles cast within the realm of your primary domain will be significantly cheaper.

It's not necessary to choose from this table. First Doman with 7 votes will be the primary domain.

Goddamnit guys, we're all over the place here.

yayifications

>>17031265
Primary domain should be something broad I think. Since the description says they're not terribly good at fighting, I say go for nature. The creatures of the forest at our command!

>>17031329
REVELRY

WE SHALL CONQUER THROUGH SONG AND DANCE

We should be a god of SCIENCE!

>>17031286
I say they came out pretty well.

As for domain, I'll go with Travel.

>>17031329
We are a god of freedom! We shall abide no tyranny! Viva Le Revolution!

>>17031353
Can we be hearth and home or civilization?

I feel like we should be a protective counter balance to our more care free worshipers

87 spring

God of apathy!

>>17031353
>>17031321
>>17031296
Combine these for a God of drunken sex parties.

>>17031335
>yayifications

>>17031353
>REVELRY

We'll fold those into "joy"

WAR: 1
MAGIC: 2
JOY: 3
PROTECTION: 1
ORDER: 1
FERTILITY: 2
NATURE: 1
TRAVEL: 1
FREEDOM: 1
SPRING: 1
APATHY: 1

Whatever man.

>>17031329
what is this table from?

Joy seems appropriate

>>17031396
Opps meant >>17031377

Will we get secondary domains or are we just going to concentrate on one aspect?

>>17031391
Yeah, joy. Lets yay it up with these deerbutts.

TIME
Lets get all sorts of time hijinks going.

>>17031391
Joyifications.

>>17031391

Estimate the number of lurkers in this thread. Add that number as votes for the god of apathy.

Humankind
>Trollface

>>17031368
I second this now.

>>17031427
Forest is being burned down by angry dorfs. Hinds call up to you for help. You look down and whisper: Whatever.

>>17031421
Humans may build great cities, hobgoblins may amass great armies, but when deerbutt comes to town, everyone shall know JOY.

hey OP, where are you sourcing these images from?

Joy won? I think Order makes the most sense with the way they perform rituals-song and dance are very orderly and rehearsed, and they primarily perform them during scheduled times that they can observe.

Not to mention that they follow a reproductive season, which is even more scheduling.

>>17031400
New Gods of Mankind. It's the system we're adapting for this thread.

Joy has 6 votes.

>>17031412
You may choose up to 3 secondary aspects, but they are more specialized than the primary domain.

Secondary Domains:
Wine
Humour
Medicine

>>17031445
We are Dionysus, party god of the deer people.

>>17031447
how many books does the system have

>>17031447
Our secondary traits should include common sense.
It's so damn rare it's practically a superpower

Voting for Joy, bet I'm slowpoking. I always do. (Puddleglum.jpeg)

>>17031445

But a god of revels AND order would be...

A god of Morris Dancing...

Oh no...

Joy

lightning, pirates, and traps

>>17031472
This, except replace medicine with madness.

>>17031447
tyranny
discipline
loyalty

YOU WILL BE HAPPY, OR ELSE. JOY COMES FROM SERVING.

I think the Hinds are particular adept at following a god of Travel, but from what is seen, we're probably going to be going the way of Joy.
I'm okay with the later though, sort of like a Dionysus-type god.

>>17031472
No no no. Sports (Dancing), Duels, Engineering.
DANCE BATTLES!

>>17031481
I vote for common sense being a secondary trait as well

And also include overcoming obstacles. Seems useful.

>>17031474
Satyrs won't even know what hit them.

joy with fertility, hearth and home, and magic as subdomains

Learning, Archers, Overcoming Obstacles

>>17031490
We can take travel or roads or something as a secondary trait.

I support this.

You manifest of great joy, and Helili brightens in your presence, her eyes lighting as an immense grin spreads across her face. She skips and jumps through the faerie-ring, amongst your nebulous form, clapping and giggling.

You are gladdened by this simple act.

>>17031510
Aww. Isn't she adorable.

We should be a god of folk dancing, close-harmony singing, and unpronounceably phlegmy words.

Yes my friends, we should be the god of Wales

anyone have anymore pics of deerbutt people

Forest, wine and passion. You know this is the only way.

Bestiality and golf.

>>17031510
What can your humble party God do you, sweet thing?

>>17031523

Your Secondary domains reflect the deeds of your legends or other aspects of your godly personality. You may chose three such aspects. The first three domains to reach 7 votes will become yours.

Miracles cast within your secondary domain are cost less faith than normal.

forest
traps
common sense

>>17031478
Four, iirc.

>>17031538
Common sense, discipline, and Horizons

>>17031540
Going with this.

>>17031549
Oh, and learning too.

Rum, sodomy, and the lash

Well, we've got purpose now. So I suppose we need form?
Any thoughts? We could go with a Hind, or maybe some sort of plant-life.

Beauty, good fortune and sight

Wine, travel and humour

Forests, Humor and Prosperity. Good times!

>>17031562
I propose that we take on the form of a hind. I don't think it's best to get overly allegorical on our followers

>>17031562

We manifest as Totoro, that our followers may sleep on our belly when they tire of the revels.

>>17031538
Common sense, engineering and accidents.
SCIENCE!

>>17031540
This
Traps of all kinds!

>>17031571
We should be a large, muscular man-hind who's mighty wang crushes those whio despoil the forest's sanctity.

Wine, accidents and parenthood.

>>17031576
YES!

>>17031583
No, we should be an effete hind of indeterminate gender.

Traps look like they're going to be part of our secondary traits.

traps, common sense, hearth and home
nobody fucks with those we care for, they don't even get the chanc3

>>17031599
I do like hearth and home a lot. I vote for this.

>>17031578

Androgyny and sexual misconduct!

> ploesno salting

Damnit captxha! Our followers love salt! If you were worried about your bloodpressure you shouldn't have manifested as a Hind

We should take Salt as a secondary domain

Your first secondary trait is Common Sense.

Helili looks at you cockeyed, her jaw droops slightly and her ears twitch. After a moment of gawking, she laughs and commences to dancing around once more.

>>17031597
Trickster god? one who beguiles and confuses their enemies with revelry and their shifting shapes, luring them into compromising positions with the shape of a simpering fawn before revealing their more masculine and aggressive form.

Like bugs bunny, only a deer.

There, that's number 2.

MOAR TRAPS!

Traps and learning and forests

>>17031633
Nah, no alcohol. They're deer. How are they supposed to ferment things?

You are now the god of joy, with secondary purview over common sense, alcohol, and traps. It's really not such a strange combination, you think. It suits you, after all.

Helili seems happy enough about it, anyway.

Fledgling god as you are, you must now decide how you will interact with the world. What is your preferred form of miracle?

Creation: Creation miracles bring things into being
Transformation: Transformation miracles physically alter things
Destruction: Destruction miracles destroy or kill things
Control: Control miracles mentally alter people and creatures

Miracles cast within your inclination cost significantly less Belief.

Definitely the Totoro god of the hinds

>>17031650
Transformation to let our people see good changes in the particularly devout thus increasing belief and joy among the people(?).

>>17031650
Control. Cause our enemies to become drunk, and stumble into traps. Hilarious!

>>17031650
Transformation. With a bit of common sense, and being able to turn one thing into another, should be able to get our followers out of trouble.

Transformation

>>17031650
transformation. our people make their tools, traps, and booze with their own two hands, we just help them do it. no better joy than looking upon your own creation

>>17031650
Transformation.

Water into wine. Barren fields into orchards. Men into women.

I'll get on the transformation bandwagon. But don't think I can't see the real reason behind the choice tg.

transformation. Things are never the same in the morning.

>>17031680
see
>>17031674
>men into women
OP, this quest is about to spiral out of control.

>>17031680
having the gods hand something to you just doesn't give the same level of satisfaction as making it yourself, we just need the gods help sometimes

>>17031650
Your inclination is towards Transformation miracles.

You must now chose a form of miracle you are opposed to of the remaining three.

Creation, Destruction, or Control.

First to reach 5 in the interest of speeding things up.

>>17031688
I've died a little inside.

>>17031699
Control. Oh god control, before this gets any worse.

>>17031699
Control since that takes away natural joy.

Destruction. There's no joy in blowing things up.

>>17031699
Control. Why would we even need to control anyone when we can just, you know, make em happy?

Although practically speaking Creation is probably least useful with Transformation since we can just change X into Y rather than create Y.

>>17031699
Destruction. Where's the fun in making the world a worse place?

>>17031699
Controll. That sounds like the god of buzzkills domain.

destruction

I vote for Control.
Destruction can be used for creative purposes...

Control

Traps and Alcohol are far classier ways to go about things.

Your opposed miracle type is control.

Yours are a people who believe themselves to be the heralds of spring, and your holy day is the Waking of the Flowers, a annual festival of singing and dancing in which the hinds affix bells to their antlers and sing in order to assure that the hibernating colors of the world rouse from their slumber.

Yearly upkeep and Belief generation will take place in this season.

If it please you, you may give Helili commandments to bring back to her herd. By now she has stopped dancing, and stares up at you expectantly.

Destruction. We can use control to cause more destruction if we need it. Let's keep our havoc classy and fun!

Control. Why get what you want by coercion? We're a god that just wants everybody to be happy. No need to force them.

>>17031776
No murder.
No rape.
Never fuck up another man's party.

>>17031776
Our first commandment: The forests be our place, our home of joy. Let all those, save those that would mean us great harm, be enraptured in delight here. Merriment is my gift to you.

>>17031787
But be sure you point out that it's not rape if it's an elf.

>>17031776
Be excellent to each other.

>>17031776
Second commandment: Alcohol shall be our gift of joy to the world, our greatest gift to all, that it may bring merriment and relief.

AWESOME BLESSED BOOZE FOR ALL WHOO!

(Invoking our Common Sense Aspect)

Learn. Survival is based on the sacrifice of one thing for the welfare of another. Proper learning is the stone in which every one of us still stands today.

And you need to be standing to DANCE.

Let it be that our followers maketh bright marks upon the cheeks of their posteriors, such as apples and hearts, that they may be known by these marks, and learn the true meaning of friendship!

>>17031800
You're mistaken. It's not GAY if it's an elf.

>>17031793
I like this. This is good.
>>17031803
And this, too.

>>17031800
Shut up, Elf-Raper.

>>17031793
Seconded

Commandment: Use your wits and cunning to trap those that mean the race of joy harm in life

>>17031809
>>17031810
I second both of these! We need seven though. SEVEN COMMANDMENTS OF BOOZE, COMMON SENSE, AND YAYIFICATIONS!

>>17031776
"Oh! Hi! You're a priestess right? If it's not too much trouble, can you bring a message from me to your herd?
I want you tell them about me, and that I give them four gifts. I give them cunning, so that they will always be able to escape the hunters traps, and turn them against their enemies. I give them the fleetness of their feet, so that they may canter and express the joy of life, as is right and good. I give them the sweetness of nectar and the movements of passion.

My gifts to you are the world about the joy you feel now as you dance, and the sweet smell of fresh dew on grass. Remember that, above all else, that they are my people, and they are blessed.
There may be hardship. You will have enemies. And when they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you; digger, listener, runner... Be cunning, and full of tricks, and your people will never be destroyed."

>>17031822
I LIKE IT

Sacred Hospitality is a fine measure of the nature of a being. Any being.

>>17031787
"Oh! I can do that. And I *like* parties."

>>17031793
Helili nods solemnly. "But are there many people who want to hurt us?" She looks around, her legs stiffening slightly, as if she is preparing to bolt. "Maybe, do you think you could keep them away?"

>>17031800
"What?"

>>17031803
Helili's eyes widen with a sudden, grave understanding as if she has been touched by the very intelligence of the universe itself.

>>17031809
Helili's tail swishes in the air, her head tilting. "What is alcohol?"

>>17031810
". . . Oohh."

After a while, it becomes obvious the hind is growing confused. She watches you, faithful and witless as a puppy, as you pass down commandment after commandment. This is probably too much for her.

You'll have to narrow it down. Four is probably a good number, one for each hoof.

Touch not the root of the plant known as ginger, not the leafe that which is known as Cilantro. They are anathema to us.

>>17031846
Love life. Love each other. Protect each other. Find purpose.

>>17031822


I agree with this

I think these four are enough. Pretty broad
>>17031803
>>17031810
>>17031822
>>17031844

>>17031848
Helili gapes, taking a step back. She trembles slightly, flanks quivering. "Oh, oh no! Never!" . . . "Ginger is *bad*" she whispers hoarsely, as if invoking the name of some dread demon.

>>17031846
Okay. Our first commandment was good. THEY NEED TO KNOW WHAT BOOZE IS. We need to become alcohol gods. Be awesome to each other needs to stay. We need them to know well of traps and cunning to, y'know, stay alive.

>>17031867

Oh... Oh dear, I think I may have just inadvertently been the cause of a war with the Dorfs

1. Be Excellent to each other.
2. Never fuck up another party.
3. Use your wits to trap and outsmart those who would fuck up your party.
4. All life is joyous, enjoy it while it lasts. Happiness is to be found in this world.

>>17031846

First Commandment: >>17031793

Second Commandment: >>17031809

Third Commandment: >>17031810

Fourth Commandment: >>17031844

>>17031903
first two are perfect
three is fine
four needs to be about trap making though, defending themselves using the world around them or something

>>17031903
1 and 3 I'm fine with. May as well change 2 to 'Be Excellent To Each Other' since we picked the one race that can't make booze.
4 I'm fine with, since trap-making and such is covered by 3's 'learn stuff'

>>17031920
Fourth commandment: My final gift to you is that of cunning and deft fingers, that you may trap and outwit those who mean you and those under your protection and guidance harm.

Good enough?

>>17031940
they can make booze, we just have to teach them how

>>17031940
I agree with this

>>17031940
Where does it say they can't make booze? Booze is one of our domains! We have to find a way!

This is going to turn into Friendship is Magic isn't it?

>>17031947
very very yes

>>17031940
Not if we teach them to make pine cone liquor.

>>17031957
if it does it will be with alchohol

>>17031968

I don't know if I should be terrified or amazed.

>>17031976
yes

You clarify your decree, and give your first commandment: "Learn. Survival is based on the sacrifice of one thing for the welfare of another. Proper learning is the stone in which every one of us still stands today." You think for a moment, then add "And you need to be standing to DANCE."

As you speak, you watch Helili's mouth silently move with your words, her brow knitted as she commits this to memory. When you are done, she grins and claps.

"The forests be our place, our home of joy. Let all those, save those that would mean us great harm, be enraptured in delight here. Merriment is my gift to you."

At this, she beams with such forcefulness that you can nearly see her molars.

Finally, you announce "Be excellent to each other."

Helili jumps onto her hind legs, prancing for a moment before coming back down to the ground. "Yay! I'll make sure I tell everyone! They'll be so happy! We're all so happy you're here now. It was so quiet and lonely before, but now everything will be better!"

Helili runs off towards the forest, bounding between the dark stands of trees.


Your followers will now do their utmost to follow your four commandments as best as they are able, no matter the hardship or inconvenience it causes them.

>>17031955
>>17031949
They don't appear to have many permanent structures, and from their racial overview, they migrate during the fall and spring.
We need a whole infrastructure and agricultural base created in order to create booze in any significant quantities.

>>17031957
>Friendship is Magic

Yayifications is Dancing, otherwise Wine and Trap Everything

>>17032005
Well, wine can be fermented without anything more then just a sac to carry it

>>17032005
so we have them use some transformation magic to turn regular fruits produce alchoholic juices, plant them, and migrate between different crop locations as the seasons change and the crops mature, so we don't overtax the land

>>17032005
If we're going to live up to our porfolio of wine, we need to teach them about it. Start small, pick berries and carry them in some sort of gourd while it ferments. Even kids can do that stuff.

It is Spring, your holy season. The flowers have awoken and you are a newly-formed god. You take stock of your followers, the 100 or so hinds and harts that constitute the entirety of their race in this early era. They are all of able body, though they seem primarily concerned with prancing and frolicking rather than building.

You have 1 black token and one elite follower.

Elite Follower: Helili: your "high priestess" - despite her demeanor, she's quite capable - and The tribe regards her as a manner of matriarch and seeress.

Black Token: This represents a unit of 100 population. You can give them a task to perform for this season.

You may also chose to perform a Miracle this season.

You may also chose do nothing and end this turn.

>>17032026
Yes, but how much of it would be ruined while being on the move? How much can actually be created from limited surpluses gathered during regular gathering?
Man created civilization in order to be able to have a steady source of booze. If we want a steady and large amount of booze, then we need farms, agricultural infrastructure, vineyards, wineries and breweries.

>>17032033
The wine cantaloupe. I LIKE IT.

>>17032059

...So can we go Greek and produce demi gods ?

>>17032059
Declare a festival. Lets kick off the new year with a party.

>>17032080
Seconding this. We're the god of joy, let's show our people what we're all about.

>>17032080
This would probably count as worship.

>>17032059
The people should build a small shrine for us, and we should use our miracle to create perhaps alcohols.

>>17032059
May as well have them create a Shrine. It's easy, only takes 1 Season, and it can give us a steady boost in Belief.

Also, for our Miracle, can we transform a hardy squash to produce alcohol? Or a vodka watermelon?

>>17032080
Lets throw the wildest party that this young world has ever seen, and every year strive to top ourselves.

This will be great once someone invents tourism.

Season Order:
Common Sense-Hinds aren't warlike, so let's have everyone start weaving our teachings in their upbringing. Traps and learning should be their sharpest tools.

Miracle:
Hmmm, something about booze? Failing that, we give them some Transformation deal, like a tree that hardens after drying to make better tools.

>>17032075
You are a god, and may do as you wish. If it please you, you may expend belief to create heroes and champions as a miraculous function.

>>17032080
>>17032087
>>17032088
You may chose to have a festival that counts either as "do nothing" (giving you a chance to increase the number of your followers) or "worship" (increasing your Belief).

>>17032095
>>17032089
You may task your people with building a shrine if it please you. As a god, it is well within your powers to do a paltry task as creating an alcoholic plant that springs from the earth itself, though extended, permanent miracles of this nature require yearly upkeep.

>>17032118
Party, as worship.

>>17032118
why would it require yearly upkeep, wouldn't the new plant grow on its own after the seeds of the first were planted

The First Shrine: an eternally flowing fountain of healing cordial that eventually joins river and flows to the sea.

>>17032118
Well then, we should get a shrine built.

The festival should count as Do nothing. The herd needs to expand.

Can we take part of the festivities ourselves or with an avatar?

It would be a good way to get a head start on producing champions and heroes

I say a Miracle and Construction (if we can do both). Turn water into wine and tell them that more can be made if they build unto us a vineyard temple.

Perhaps we can work out a circle of monasteries kept by holy priests, worked and protected between group migrations.

>which vaways
Dammit, Captcha! We won't know until we see a map! Focus!

>>17032158
Maybe the shrine should be like
>>17932152
said. A river of sweet tasting water that the herd can follow as they migrate?

>>17032130
>>17032152
Your people can build a shrine in your honor, but imbuing it with the ability to create healing cordial will require expenditure of belief.

>>17032156
A token can perform one task a season. You currently have one token. The hinds are able to build OR do nothing (party hardy).

>Can we take part of the festivities ourselves or with an avatar?
Yes, but physical manifestation requires Belief. You may appear as any form you desire. Larger, more grand forms may cost additional Belief.

I'd say we should have a tradition in the near future where we produce a hero/champion with the High priestess

Anyway to be more serious, our first miracle should probably be creating a Garden full of alcoholic plants and fruits that hibernate during all season beside Spring, make it a landmark for our migrating people to return to, maybe planting the seed for the start of what could be called a home.

Sorry for my shitty grammar.

Let's focus on worship for now. They're a herd, anyways. A stationary place shouldn't be important for right now.

For this season, let us introduce our people to their new God, Totoro. Start it off with a bang. A hoorah of joyous worship.

>Yes, but physical manifestation requires Belief. You may appear as any form you desire. Larger, more grand forms may cost additional Belief

How about just channeling. We take a ride on Helili during the yayifications.

>>17032185
Party hardy! We are a joy god, a party god, the first thing we tell our people to do can not be work. We should let them ALL know what we're all about, right from the get go.

You are able to change a nearby, bubbling ground spring into enough wine for 100 hinds for one week at a cost of 2 belief. (The cost is reduced for your inclination and secondary domain)


Would you like to spend 2 belief to create a temporary ground-spring of wine?

1 week: 2
1 season: 4
1 year: 8
Perpetual: 8 each additional year.

We posses her body and party in her place when she gets drunk enough during the parties!

High priest/priestess

There shouldn't be distinction of gender in our faith. All can party equal hardy.

Let's go with these. Revel in the worship, dudes!

Not right now perhaps, but we eventually need to turn this place into a deathtrap for any invaders, like those knobgobblers. You are a god of traps, teach them to make traps and then trap the entire motherfucking forest.

Yes, the hinds are not a warlike people. This way, they don't actually have to fight directly, just make any invasion impractical. and costly. If an army marches in, hinds start running and arming the traps that fill a dozen per square meter. The forest become a meat grinder, a terrible meat grinder where the soldier never see their enemy only the devious machinations that swallow a dozen of their comrades at a time and generally play with their heads.

Break their spirits without risking a single deerbutt and without letting them ever see the misery they cause, as it would surely break their spirits just as hard.

Let's make the spring flow as wine for one week, during which our followers have a baccanalian revelry

>>17031998
We kind of mind tricked a fourth commandment while saying three?

>>17032291

My issue with this is that I can easily see an other race seeing this and going "You know? Burn the fucker down."

>>17032291

Conflict doesn't seem to be on the horizon for now, but we shouldn't rely on traps alone in case of war, but I do agree that all battles should be fought on the defensive.

I think we shouldn't party as worship. It compromises the joy of the occasion if we do it with motive. Let it be done purely for joy.

>>17032311

Then we can say ``Fuck that noise`` and rain the fuckers

rolled 2 + 5 = 7

>>17032258
You create a bubbling spring of wine, a libation heretofore unknown to the herd. They take freely of it, and prance about drunkenly for what seems to be days on end. The merry music and laughter they produce gladdens your godly, allegorical heart.


The fecundity of the land allows your black token produces an additional white token.

Your black token generates two faith.

Okay, Yaiyifications seems to be the general idea, with a wine garden as our miracle.

I guess we can ride Helili after each partying and give her the down low on our secondary aspects. Like Hangover Theology or something.

>>17032317

Maybe it's part of a tradition. Before each day's "revelry," a host is declared. The party is thrown in this host's honor, praising them for what they do. Each individual's first time as "host" is on the day they come of age. In this way, not only are the parties joyous events, but they also bring extra joy to others. Don't think of it as a motive, OOC it's a motive. IC it's just spreading cheer and joy for cheer and joy's own sake. As a traditional act of humility, the host praises the community.

So, a new man or woman is praised for his or her achievements as a child, speed in learning and growing, and his or her future prospects. In turn, the host praises his parents for raising him or her, his teachers and mentors, his neighbors and friends.

>>17032357
Oh yes!

>>17032357
Make sure to mention that, if we prosper, this shit will go down BIGGER AND BETTER next year. But they have to work for it.

>>17032372

So now we're a Work All Day, Party All Night God?

It is Summer, year 1.

You have 200 followers.
You currently have 50 belief.

You have 1 black token and 1 white token.

You may give your black token a task for this season. Your white token, being newly established, only has the free time to conduct basic activities such as relocation or doing nothing.

Tasking your white token with "doing nothing" gives it the chance to turn into a productive black token.

You may also perform miracles as you so desire.

>>17032403
Time for them to grow some brain cells.

Grant them the miracle of basic tools! The stick shall become the bow, the plow, and the knife!

We need that wine garden shrine done. Probably teach people how to make it out of damn near everything, depending on season.

>looking at costs
We can't give them super trees until we gather some serious Belief.

Oh shit, it's midnight.

We'll pick up again later.

>>17032443

Best way to gain belief is dedicate to Worship. We might as well, to save up for those major actions that will keep us set for life kind of thing.

>>17032403
White token does nothing
Black token builds a party hut, in which the coming-of-age festival parties are held (shrine construction)

>>17032464

FFFUUUU-udge.

See you next time, Fate.

>>17032464
What's the timeable, by weeks, holidays?

>>17032464
Awwwww, but I just posted my first suggestion!
Have a good night. When will we again be able to influence our followers?

I look forward to the future FATE. Yay deerbutt.

>>17032479
We'll go again next Saturday evening. I'll try for 7PM EST. I'll have some condensed rules for you guys and possibly some slicker graphics - but don't hold me to the last part.

I'm going to see if I can get some expressions made for Helili.

>>17032519

Cool. Thread's been archived. Chose the name Miracle Quest because of OP pic.

Friend of fate here, been helping with the quest. A few things for you guys to mull over until the next time: The setting for this is in like the early days of the world. Like, humans are mucking about with bone spears and thatch huts and shit. Everyone is primitive and tribal, and probably doesn't think of the world as being all that large. This tribe of hinds only numbered about 100 people until the deity came along, mostly due to forest predators. The forest is probably filthy with wolves and bears and such. Hinds aren't excellent fighters as it said in the overview but that's why they turned to the deity.

There might be other races (or hinds) in the forest doing their own thing. Possibly worshiping their own gods, what our god of joy and wine wants to do about that is up to you.

>>17032553
Partying
Survival, a lot of
Wine, from clear to fubu
Bolas and javelins everywhere

Good show, good show. this almost make me want to start up my own quest, these things are addicting.

>>17032589
>Partying

>bear traps and triplines everywhere

FTFY

...How on earth did we manage to turn 100 hinds into 200 hinds in the space of a season? Do these things have more than one child at a time, or what? And have REALLY short pregnancy times?
I mean, god damn, what were we putting in that wine?

>>17033338

>>17033338
"mommy, who is my daddy?"

"well, dearest... that night was pretty hectic, and there was a lot of wine... im pretty sure it was one of the hunters... probably.... maybe..."

>>17033429
i have a porn related pic for that scenario as well

>>17033467
Oh, I heard of this. Next page, next page!

>>17033475
ok, and if you want to look it up it's called Papa Nanka Daikirai, which i beleive translates along the lines of I Really Hate You Daddy (or at least that's the title i first saw on it a few years back on another site)

>>17033467
Post away, oh pervert you.

>>17033499
can't post anything NSFW sorry
