I've been thinking about running a game on NPF for a while and I discussed it briefly on Ajax with a few people and i've decided to throw up a thread and see if people would be interested.
I've not nailed everything down and i'm open to discussion if people don't like certain elements and would prefer to have them changed.
Basic premise: Think Civilisation meets Populous
The players are a single gestalt deity like entity that has control over a single tribe through a line of oracles that live in the tribe, it is the players job to help direct the tribe. as the tribe gets larger and more powerful so does the deity that the players represent eventually gaining the ability to directly effect the world in potentially profound ways how ever using this power weakens you.
typically however the players would act through the oracles giving advice and pushing the tribe towards certain endeavors, the details of exactly what you tell the tribe to do being upto the player.
PS, I'm willing to drop the whole populous aspect and make it a text based variant on Civilisation if people would prefer that.
