Once they ruled the heavens, grand beings with the power of
cosmos at their fingers. Now they fight to remain...
Here in our current
age the gods of old still live. These beings, while remaining greater than
mortal and mythical creature alike, no longer have the power they once did and
strain to adapt. Forging existence for themselves in this epoch of non-belief
some have adjusted themselves to suit while others fight for a return to what
once was, to this end many have employed the aide of their mortal followers and
avatars. Meanwhile, among these struggling deities of old, arise the new gods of
technology and modern power who vie against them for dominance and would
eradicate them altogether.
Loosely based on American Gods, Dies Deorum is
and intermediate/advanced setting structured as a collaborative creative writing
effort, not just an RPG. We've only recently opened the board and are currently
hashing out plots so now is probably the best time for joining. At present the
most needed characters are those of the Japanese, Slavic, or Egyptian pantheons,
as well as Mortals and God-Slayers, however all suitable character-types are
welcome. While not all plotlines revolve exclusively around deities, their
existence is the basis of the premise so they are important...but ought not
overshadow the others. Really what it comes down to is a matter of balance, and
that's what we're looking for. In addition, because of potentially mature themes
player age 18+ are preferred.
