Gameplay Example: Rattrap

This is a session of Battle of the Gods I played at a friend's place.

The world we made is a dead rat in a mouse trap where maggot-folk find beauty in areas untouched by the miasma surrounding the “land”

It’s both literally a dead rat & a lived in world, I guess? Below is what our world looked like by the end of the game. Each table presented is a page detailing the world or a character that I've transcribed here.

This first sheet is all the information about our world, reflected by the state it was in at the end of the game.

We had four players, and thus four gods. Two of them were closer to literal gods (Quarwen & Theona) the others were aspects of world around deified (Hue-mown & Iri the beetle)

Quarwen of the Red Hands was a forge god who made weapons & sculptures. She emerged from a knot of rat fur & wanted to make the world beautiful. A story is told where she foolishly tries to lure Iri into her forge again & again for her shell but fails every time.

When the rat died, its vengeful ghost became a demon who haunted the world. It's kindness became Theona, The Warm End: The hearth goddess of love & death. She wanted the world to die beautifully. One myth says she used to meet in Quarwen's sculpture garden to talk about all the things they both loved of this place. However, her presence slowly rusted Quarwen's art and Theona was cast out forever in response.

Hue-mown, the Home Owner, is seen as a greater figure from outside Rattrap. He wishes to remove the rat so that this place called "home" can be clean but is often scared away by Theona, the rat's ghost.

Iri the Unthinking, a beautiful beetle found near Ratrap. She carries a shard of glass that contains the moon. Theona is said to adore Iri's beauty, but Iri never seems to notice.

After we had created these gods, we each made the roll to signify the Battle of the Gods and determine its result. After spending a moment taking our turns and interpreting what happened, this was the story of how this event changed Rattrap. 

It began when Theona foresaw Hue-mown's approach. He came because Iri started laying countless eggs, filling Rattrap with her spawn. Quarwen tricked Theona with a gift: dazzling bracelets that were actually manacles. They died fighting each other. Hue-mown got rid of the rat and killed Iri's children. Iri flew away never to be seen again. The maggot-people found their world unlivable and left in exodus. 

Thus ending the Battle of the Gods.
