In this game, one player is an almost-omnipotent god and the rest are mortals who are trying to become gods themselves.
Unfortunately, the pantheon is full and the featured god was the one unlucky enough to draw the short straw. Now he's got to stop them before the heavens get too crowded...and if he fails, he gets booted and the new god takes his place.
How do the mortals intend to become gods? Easy.
To become a god you must climb the sheer slopes of the mountain of greasy soap and prick your finger on the needle provided there. Then "they" (no one knows who they are!) clone you and send the clone back to earth so that no one notices that you were missing. Once that's done, mystical doors will open and you will step through them and fall 5,000 feet to your death. Then you are a god, and your soul can take its place in the heavenly pantheon, where you will sit idle and be godly for all eternity. What fun!
There are two things the featured god cannot do: give life and take life.
Therefore, the god cannot create minions to do its dirty work, nor can it simply kill anyone. It's got to be creative.
This is a game of continual, chaotic, and often silly one-upmanship.
for instance:
<God sees one of the featured mortals walking below him. He shoots a thunderbolt at it for 10 damage, or if it falls off the nearby cliff from the shock, 20 damage>
<mortal responds: jumps off the nearby cliff and then deploys a parachute. Damage averted. "Nyah!" says mortal.>
<God responds: gust of wind blows mortal into cliff face. Ouch! 1 damage.>
etc., etc. ad infininitum or until one of the mortals completes their quest.
Then we begin again, with the newest god playing the god role.
Mortals have 20 hit points, but given that they can almost always get away, it hardly matters. Slippery little buggers, them mortals.
Sound like fun? I'll take volunteers and further ideas here in this post before we start playing.
