Well, with necromancy and undead there will at least be some magic. Though that hasn't been fully realised IC as I don't think anything significant enough has died yet.

1. Can Mortals and gods breed/ be impregnated by God's?

2. Can gods die or reform themselves?

You can impregnate a mortal to create a demigod, but said demigod’s power would subtract from your own such that you the player do not exceed 100% divine power.
Gods can be rendered catatonic and unthinking or ejected from creation but they can’t truly be destroyed.

What if gods become obsolete, or our mortal counterparts worship false gods, themselves, or a set of ideals?

Are new gods made? Are old ones rendered impertinent?

Well her bio does state that she doesn't care about others feelings. She does as she wishes.

Wait, does mortals worshipping you for something turn some of your power into power of that domain?

No, but if you act like it is with enough confidence nobody will likely stop you from pretending it is.
In essence it’s a deception, but a deception could be useful, you can preserve more personal power.

New gods can and will form over time, maybe they will form alliances to strategically Null the creations over other gods in attempt to take over. Really that’s their own choice and presets some interesting alliance gameplay.

Guess I’ll just invent stories then

I mean or they could just bugger off with their own followers and say “I’m gonna make a new planet, with blackjack and hookers!!”. Nothing is stopping anyone from partaking in multiple creation events, or no creation events.

What about monotheism and atheism? If they ended up taking over a majority of ur mortals would many of gods become weakened?

Or perhaps aid Caversine in courting Ellendelle. Partake in the making of the first love story.

I was actually hoping to become some kind of goddess of magic through the character that I am going to post tomorrow. I can only hope that you will decide that at least limited mortal access to magic will be allowed.

Before you get a love story you need stories. I’ll help in that, though..

Probably not going to happen, Anamara has her abominations and many will likely fear the undead hordes. Athiesm likely will not be favored, or will actively get you killed by the abominations.

And you can’t spread a story when the god of stories is constantly saying “Dude. That story just ain’t right.”

His Lordship von Blob has stopped procrastinate and made some humies.

You can if you tell the God of stories "Your a nerd go back to the library and cry, dork!"

I guess you could say he gave his creations a considerable amount of grey matter...

..I'll see myself out.

Even if a story is unfinished, it’s still a story.

Now I understand...
Perhaps my guy could help out in teaching these mortals how fishing works, and the growing of land plants. Humies need eats.

The problem is, neither of us have a method of murdering each other.

Could I possibly spend only 10% to nudge the humans in the right direction in making writing, so I can still keep some minor domain over it?
