The Elthos Meta Game - Proto-Test

A quick report on my most recent (and current) game experiment ...

We played the first Elthos Meta-Game last night. It's a competitive/collaborative World Building game in which GMs play the Gods. It's intended to be a wrapper game around a regular RPG via which the God's actions create the world's terrain, races, cultures and dynasties... forming the back story of the regular campaign.

Here's the starting board, and then the board after the first round of the Primordial Age.

It was totally fun. :)




Elthos Meta Game - Map Images

Below are a few detail shots of the Meta-Game Map thus far. The hexes are 100 miles across, so those mountains are actually mountain ranges. The Celestial Island is about 3600 miles in diameter. The hexes shown are those that our Elkron-Players have already used Kismet to create terrain on. So far so good!

On to the images...

This grid map shows the locations of the 12 Planetary Elkron Thrones.


So far so good.  I'm very pleased with the way things are going.  I have written up 11 pages of rules for the Meta Game (aka God Game), and am working on refining them.  In addition I have a couple of spreadsheets that help do the Kismet Point number crunching for the game. 

If all goes well I will package this up and send it along to the community.

As always, don't be surprised if it takes me a while.  You know what an incredible slow poke I am!  haha.
