Introduction
Have you ever wondered what it would be like for a to play as group of deities creating a world from nothing?
In Our Pantheon you do just that. Shape the earth, breathe life from dust, meddle in the affairs of mortals. These are a few of the things you can do in Our Pantheon.
This game was originally a hack of a free TTRPG from 2005 called Dawn of Worlds. Just like that game, Our Pantheon is and will always be completely free! (Though tips are very much appreciated.)
In this game 2 to 6 players will draw a map, set scenes, and and draw Chaos cards to create entire civilizations, histories, and worlds. This game takes additional inspiration from games like Microscope, PbtA, and many others. If you're looking for something to create a fantasy world to use for a campaign in another system, then Our Pantheon is the game the job.
Legends
As for October 2021, I am proud to bring you Our Pantheon: Legends, a whole new take on this game. While the same in spirit, it is mechanically very different from the game I originally posted in late 2019. Legends is intended to be a more streamlined and less crunchy version of the game. It has a heavier focus on collaborative creation and roleplaying. It's a pretty massive departure from the hack and I hope you all enjoy it.
I am currently looking for feedback on all aspects of it. Please share your thoughts on the stickied thread in the forum below.
