A God game where a group of players mold a world.

The article that caught my attention:

For anyone who wanted to create a world for a book this could be a tool to use.

Or you can get a bunch of crazy people together and see who is the best crazy of the Old Ones.

This one has been around for a while, actually. It’s an interesting concept, but I’ve never actually sat down and played it. I think if I wanted to do a “world creation” game, I’d rather play [Microscope](http://www.lamemage.com/microscope/), which is actually more of a “History creation” game than a “world creation” game.

Interesting. I had never heard of such games.
