"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."
-- Douglas Adams |
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. |

We are the chick; the egg is the world.
They say that there is a secret arena somewhere in Ohtori Academy. From there, and only from there, you can see a castle hanging suspended in the sky, a castle that nobody has ever been inside. They also say that, on some afternoons, select students gather there, take up swords, and fight against each other for something incredible - the power to bring about the world's revolution. Of course, that's just a rumor. Isn't it?
This game is about a cast of original characters who have been selected to compete in the next incarnation of the duel games at Ohtori. They have been recruited, once again, by the Ends of the World; they have been promised the power to revolutionize the world––and their heart's desire––should they win.
