>>6032682[A(no)nimus]: what about alternative tech development, known some groups that get pissy if you go for vril rather than electricity. You know how those "historical only" guys can get[Jhon_Doe](admin): As long as you make it viable in worldgen then there's no problem, no changing the laws of physics midway through the game.[Trips_on_stairs]: how about making analogues?[Trips_on_stairs]: like, what if I make necromancy and then I get a wizard to build a tomb like a computer with skeletons as memory?[Dovey]: Like Trips said, what if I make connect the forests together through mushrooms and have that work as a computer?[Jhon_Doe](admin): as I said above,[Dovey]: That exists in real life by the way, it's called a Mycorrhizal network (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycorrhizal_network)[Jhon_Doe](admin): if it's something that can result from the worldgen, then go crazy.[A(no)nimus]: I see.>>6032725[A(no)nimus]: Quick question about rule 6, is it only about copying irl civs?[Jhon_Doe](admin): It's more about events and npcs[Jhon_Doe](admin): You can make use of irl aesthetics and naming conventions, but try being creative with the stories you cultivate out of it, at least more creative than a Hitler clone[Slips_on_stairs]: I call dibs on the aztecs[Dovey]: Pray tell, what do you mean by "creating atheism"?[Jhon_Doe](admin): Ok so, one of the feature from the arcservers is the ability to make multiple religions,[Jhon_Doe](admin): Unlike in goop where they are always cults of you or of the pantheon you associate with, in arc those can be whatever[Jhon_Doe](admin): So a guy from there made a religion which was just atheism, which generated no worship but the game still treated it as a religion[Jhon_Doe](admin): Meaning that you would end up with cultists of atheism who got boons but generated no worship[Dovey]: Honestly, that sounds pretty amusing.[Jhon_Doe](admin): It was, the admins even played into it a bit and created a Greater Avatar of Atheism...[Jhon_Doe](admin): In the form of a fedora[Slips_on_stairs]: I think I was in that game, were you playing as Kong Tian?[Jhon_Doe](admin): Then it became meta to make a ton of cults of unrelated things and make it harder for the other players to get worship[Jhon_Doe](admin): Yes, I don't remember you being there though.[Slips_on_stairs]: I was spectating Got to go for now, see you in ~8 hours, ask any other questions you have and then we get to worlgen

>>6033658that's us ? if so, how exactly can we do things and what's abyssal price ?
>>6033658Magic [Tonal]Price (self-hood)Contractual Price (foreknowledge)- continued or excessive usage will cause increasingly detailed flashes of the death of those near to the caster, and eventually their own demise, sealing their fate in stoneContractual price 2 (Service)- The caster will be expected to usher souls to Kthos and personally work to remove those who would cling to existence and life beyond what was naturally givenAbyssal price (Fated to fade)- a destiny to instead become one with the shadows and the dark, Kthos' eternal aid, faceless and unknown as the multitude of the inglorious dead

>>6033658>Magic [Spiritual]>Description: Allows casters to summon various spirits and bind them, temporarily or perpetually, to the caster's service.

Sentient beings contain more vitality than non-sentient ones, and mages even more. Certain castings may require some of the caster's vitality in order to make sure the spirit remains in their service.I like the idea of believers 'bargaining' with us to bring all sorts of weird spirit monsters and machines back from our embrace.
>>6033688hmm>>6033665>>6033684Change abyssal price to stygian price, keep everything else the same

It works like Oxytocine.**- a Dominant Sense does not mean that said race relies only on that one, singular sense, there are others too. Humans have sight as their best sense, but that does not mean hearing or touching aren't valuable or that they can't substitute in case of blindness.This is primary a story quest so don't fret too much over numbers, ironically. They exist so I can see what the direction you intend to go and maybe be actually useful if we get to combat. Also, ID change, so no more fancy colours, I'm also a phonefag now but that works with the quest's minimalist style I suppose, it's good that this is the last stage of worldgen.

>>6034208=======================Wind scatters dust shimering in the sunlight over the desolate horizont, which is broken only by spiraling grey monoliths pointing towards the heavens. Through one of the many entries into the stone towers, crevasses akin to cracks in glass, a lone gust of air ventures down through labyrinthine passages until the warm brightness of the overworld is replace by a cold, still, darkness... but that too is temporary. As the heat of the unseen sky above is replaced by that of the earth, echoes bounce through the veins of the mountain, echoes of running water, of rustle of plants, of skittering prey and pursuing predators. The tunnel gives way to the entry of one large room, the ceiling and floor widen away from one another slowly, plateauing in the middle of the circular chamber. The floor is covered in a pale, mossy coat streching from the foliated walls down to the shore of a crystal clear lake in which tiny islands are made by the tips of submerged stalagmites, the light of millions of tiny swimmers forming the sole testament to the existance of colour in the deep below. The curbe of the ceiling becomes jagged the closer one gets to the top of the cave, spindly and fingerlike stalactites coalesce into an upside-down stony forest from which droplets of water disturbe the calm of the lake below. It is those very stalactites which are bound together by a will other than that of the Last's. Silky threads make way from one salty spire to the other and beings unique under the heavens dwell on them. A myrriad legs stretch and and a lone tap is enough for speech to be born. Deep, lightless eyes open from their furred lids to little avail. Each of them take notice of the other one besides itself, though not one would be able to explain what that itself is. A lone word is said to them however, "Aranae", sung by the wind and the tremors of the earth, and that primordial voice told them such...>{Kthos, the Last}:Deeper still one finds a less forgiving cradle than that of the sunless lakes. The stygian cavers are encrusted with long corridors of bald crystal chaining together small crevasses teaming with life, islands of plenty amids a sea of quartz. Tectonic rumblings form the heartbeat of the Deep Below, yet while for the Aranae that is a beautiful song, their fellows in the dark have no room for sych luxury, to the them the tremors of the earth are drums of conflict, a call to action, to surviving.Chitanous bodies mingle with one another, legs intertwined then released, clicks spoken and heard, stings brandished with instinctual familiarity. Their name is written on the edges and of their shell, Viriskiae, that is what they are, and their maker made them, and on the hard flesh of their stings are the words: >{Kthos, the Last}:>cont.
>>6035296Far from the deep earth are shores caressed by sunlight, yet whom rose though smoke and pyre. Under the waves, scars braze the land, a union of the surface and the subterranea fire, setting the sea ablaze with magma and brimstone, and giving birth to verdant islands. The fast waves break on black sand, the breeze blows through the ample folliage, nurtured by the destructive forces emanating from the micro tectonic plates below. Monkeys swing from vine to vine, crabs climb for coconuts, kelpies trot in shade, but none of these are chosen.A leathery hide slides across the sand, pushed by finned, webbed feet. A weak sight is meet with the refracted sight if the sun, it is their meaty wiskers protruding from their sleek shoulders that reveal them the world. Muscles contract and relax following small electrical discharges beneath their silvery skin. A head rises abose the water, the mouth opens, pale teeth shine in the light and a first breath is had. "Lungs... men of lung" their hearts tell them, that organ fizzling electric discharges in the water and air.

Also, how would you consider the descriptions? I intend for denser paragraphs like those for "in game" senctions, such as land descriptions and npc POVs.
>>6036225>spoilerI liked the paragraphs! The perspective they're written from is pretty good considering we're (presumably) just watching them from above, like cells wiggling around in a Spore game. The description of the scenery covers plenty, which gives a good idea of what their environments and lives are normally like, which in turn makes it easier to lead into setting a religion for their mindset.As for the lungfish, I thought of a good thing to tell them:>And that thunder in their heart, willfully put there by a power outside their comprehension, said to them one simple phrase:>Don't let them kill you.
