Godbound is a game of demigod heroes facing the sorrows of a broken world. You and your Godbound companions work together to achieve your shared ambitions, whether those ambitions are for seas of shining golden coins or dreams of a world redeemed from its slow decay. There are countless troubles and terrors in the scattered realms of the former world, but you and your allies have the power to defy them all.
Even as novice Godbound, even as a hero new to your powers, you can stand against the mightiest mortal heroes of your realm. You can work miracles by your raw will, or mold the natural laws around you in obedience to your divine Words. There is no greater authority to command you. There is no God on the Throne to tell you what is right and what is wrong. There is only your will, and your choice, and the world you wish to make. Together with your allies you will shape a realm fit to your desires, or you will be destroyed by the unnumbered legions that rise up to thwart your holy will.
Godbound is based on "Old School Renaissance" rules. You still have Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, etc, but the rules are simpler regarding attribute checks, saving throws, and combat.
The main draw of this game are the Words of Creation, portfolios of authority over the elements of the world. Each one addresses one of the fundamental qualities of the world: Fire, Night, Time, Beasts, and other archetypal elements of creation. Each has its own realm of authority, though some overlap in their effects; both Fertility and Health can grant healing, for example, while Night and the Sky both know secrets of swift flight. Each Word describes the extent of its potential abilities. Your hero is bound to three of these words.
Your divine energy is measured in points of effort which are held in a pool. You commit effort to use your divine powers. How long it stays committed or when it can be committed depends on what you try to do.

Hello, this will be a sandbox style game of Godbound. Therefore, the setting, direction of the campaign, and nature of challenges will all be decided by the players.
I'll try my best to make this a regular game, at least once a week on Monday, Wednesdays, or Friday afternoons CST time.
