Forgotten Gods


Virtually everything the human race has ever believed in is true. And it continues to be true, long after the human race particularly needs it to be true any more.

-- Douglas Adams, The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul



Forgotten Gods follows the deities of ancient mythologies, brought to America long ago by explorers or immigrants from their homelands and eventually abandoned or lost from memory. As their worshippers have moved on to new religions, the gods' powers have waned -- for a god, at its most pure essence, is no more than an idea, and an idea is worthless if there is nobody to believe in it. Some have passed, forgotten, from the world, while others have fallen into madness. Some have simply tried to adapt, to make a life for themselves in this place without gods, getting by on what little scraps of worship and belief they can garner. Others are more radical, intent on regaining the power that was once theirs and reviving their followings.

And then there are the New Gods. Gods of cars and computers, television and radio, cities and highways, all those things that modern Americans put their faith in. They are young, at the height of their power. These newcomers are regarded dismissively by some of the old ones, who have seen so many new deities rise and fall in their time; jealously by others, who wish to reclaim the power for their own; and by all with a deep, abiding wariness.

Inspired by the world of Neil Gaiman's American Gods, this game invites players to step into the roles of deities, old and new, to create their own modern mythology.

Forgotten Gods


"I know how gods begin. We start as dreams, then we walk out of the dreams into the land. We are worshipped and loved, and take power to ourselves. And then one day there's no one left to worship us. And in the end, each little god and goddess takes its last journey back into dreams... and what comes after, not even we know."

-- Neil Gaiman, Brief Lives

Forgotten Gods


"People believe. It's what people do. They believe. And then they will not take responsibility for their beliefs; they conjure things, and do not trust the conjurations. People populate the darkness; with ghosts, with gods, with electrons, with tales. People imagine, and people believe: and it is that belief, that rock-solid belief, that makes things happen."

Mythopoeics; a reincarnated gods game



.old gods never die. they simply get recycled.
In the beginning, there was Khaos.

From it came everything else, and from everything that Khaos was, gods came. You know them from when they were infinite and absolute - their myths, their stories, their legends.

They weren't supposed to die - but worry not, for death is not an end. Their mortal shells hold their immortal souls, a new beginning each turn of the wheel. They bleed. They die.

Khaos collects.

Deities have been reborn once again as mortals in 2010. Welcome to NYC, the cosmopolitan capital of the world, breathe in that fresh air- enjoy that cup of latte (it may well be your last). Your mortal life has been spent spoiled and rich, insignificant with its ease.

It's time to pay up.

MYTHOPOEICS
.applications.
Apps & Reserves- Open from 9th till the 16th Open for application: Aztec, Celtic, Egyptian, Greek, Hindu, Judeo-Christian and Norse. Expect more pantheon openings in the future as plot progresses along.

All anyone needs to write a story is a ink and an idea. What's hard is creating a character.

The Storyteller spends his life creating characters. He's one of the few who can Read characters into the world, making them real and in turn changing their source material so that they can peaceably exist in our world. Since 1990 he has been Reading characters at random- from books, comics, movies and songs. If a character has a name, they can be Read. They wind up in Boston, histories just a memory and new lives ahead of them.

The Fountain is a panfandom game with origins in Inkheart and Vertigo's Fables. Any character who has a name and a fictional backstory is available for play- books, movies, television, song essences, folklore, etc. We're a low-key game- that means the hammer doesn't drop if activity slows, judgement isn't passed on creative content, and nobody's going to hate you if you miss a night or two to catch up on sleep. All levels of RP experience are welcome!

The Fountain opens for game-wide plot on April 1st. Applications submitted before that time will be reviewed for pre-play.

Fabletown

WELCOME TO FABLETOWN. New York’s hidden hideaway for renegade Fables- the people who breathe life into all the fairytales parents tell their children. Having long ago been pushed out of the Homelands by the mysterious Adversary, the Fables have set up a community alongside that of the Mundys- one where they can conduct their business in peace and keep out of the public eye, all the while working on how to reclaim the Homelands from the Adversary.

OUR MOST WANTED. Snow White. Prince Charming. Briar Rose. Boy Blue. Any of the loveable creatures that inhabit the Farm. Flycatcher. Baba Yaga. Bluebeard. Gary the Pathetic Fallacy. The Page Sisters. The Adversary himself.

We're seeking good, regular players- whether you've read Fables and loved it, or if you just think the idea sounds cool. You're all welcome in Fabletown.

We open March 5th or as soon as we reach fifteen characters. Whose story will you choose?

"Immortals are what you wanted," said Thor in a low, quiet voice. "Immortals are what you got. It is a little hard on us. You wanted us to be for ever, so we are for ever. Then you forget about us. But we are still for ever. Now at last, many are dead, many are dying," he then added in a quiet voice, "but it takes a special effort."
