Thank you for that! James your god looks awesome! I cant wait to meet her! I'll have mine up here in a bit as I work on the concept.

Ack! How did I miss this!? I've only been online for the last two hours, so why didn't I stumble upon this sooner? No matter, sitting down to read the rules and devise a new absurdly beautiful god idea. Maybe I won't go for a PbP game, and just put my creative efforts into this instead...

EDIT: I will be playing, for sure, just realized I didn't mention that... 

Hmm, this seems interesting! I've no idea how this would play out, so I'll have to do some research into older versions of this game..

My first thoughts are a god of Travel, Surviving/Survival and Luck, but I'm assuming those are all moderate domains so I'll have to pick and choose first? Can I take two moderate and one lesser domain or is it strictly one each of greater, moderate and lesser, or three lesser?
Either way, I don't envision him taking a greater domain ever, or at least not in the near future.

His form will be a hare the size of a large dog, and he prefers to spend his time actually travelling the world rather than sit up on a high pedestal in the clouds looking down over his minions.

Would anyone object to my god lacking a physical body and instead, say... could temporarily inhabit the body of any lizard on the planet? Just theoretically, of course. What if I also made dragons a type of lizard? Would basically teleporting around the planet at-will cause issues?

@James:   It varied from game to game, really, but the answer usually was 'almost immediately'.  I'll speak to the ones that I know something about.

Shardworlds, Galara, AR:  Don't know, wasn't around when they started, but shardworlds was an offshoot of a prior LoC, and AR's name wasn't chosen until after the game ended.

Lightvoid:  Only the first post and who/what would be ascended in it was pre-planned.  Name was more or less meaningless.

Worldwarp:  Overall plan for the game was established before it started (two pocket universes, one vaguely Alison-in-Wonderland, one vaguely Cthulu-ish floating through the void and eventually colliding).  Beyond that, and a division of which Gods were going to which universe, nothing was pre-planned.

Gates of Eternity:  Like Lightvoid.  First post planned out in advance.  Name took on greater meaning as the game progressed.

Sheltering Dark:  This was the most extensive framing story, and lasted somewhere around 20 posts or so.

Balance of Powers:  Concept and initial creation of opposite divinities were planned.  Anubis attacking me right out of the gate... not planned.  Name wasn't chosen until after the game ended.

Chaos Within:  Joran has a starting post prepared to set the theme, and beyond that... we'll see where we end up!


And GOOD.  Timmy Bushytail deserves an epic quest.  He's got a personal God, after all

@Lin:  Welcome!   I like your domain ideas, but as Joran said, you'd need to pick a subset to start with (not that you couldn't expand to the others in your first week's worth of AP).  You could probably argue that 'survival' is a lesser domain if you want.

@Salmon:  Welcome back!  My gut is that there wouldn't be a problem with that, assuming you had some common-sense restrictions on it (no auto-winning fights by teleporting away, no omniscient knowledge of all things that all lizards see, etc).  I'll let other admins weigh in if they think otherwise.  Sounds like a cool concept!

Edit:  Actually, James brings up an important point, in that you'll have to figure out how to differentiate that from an Avatar.  I can think of a few ideas, so PM me if you want them.
