Stilton: Australian slang is pretty good, too.
Some people get insulted by our slang,either they don't understand or they too stupid to find what it means.
What they should do is a Captain Cook first...

Okay, its 2:02 and time for this Viking to get his beauty sleep. Night all, have fun and games, and if you hear a distant not very nice sounding tuba, lock the doors and turn out the lights... ;-)

l0rdtr3k: With the amount of games that I have on my computer(20,being 10 from Steam and GOG) i think I can handle until the summer sale.
That makes me smile.
It makes me smile for two reasons - one, because I like the thought of people having lots of fun games to play.
And second? That statement is the kind of thing a person says when they haven't lost their godsdamned mind and turned into a compulsively buying sales fiend. That is a statement made by a person who still recognizes things like moderation and restraint.
I have two to three years worth of games sitting on this computer right now, there are two sales going, and every time I see GOG's front page I think to myself, "Oh man, I need more games! Look at all the ones on sale RIGHT NOW! Hell, some of them are even on my neverending wishlist! And the ones that aren't, well they're not that expensive, let's get those too! I mean sure they're games I didn't think were good enough to put on the list, but who cares, they're only like a dollar apiece if I buy all seven of them!"

If the windows start shaking, I'm going to start running for the nearest gas mask. ;)
Goodnight, sleep well when you get there. =)

Hopefully you'll be able to rest, but if not, someone'll still be around.
Goodnight, and sleep well when you get there. =)

CarrionCrow: First thought - looking at each organism, whether human or not, being a small thread, interconnected and woven into the larger, overall thread of energy that keeps everything going.
A person's thread frays, they die. No coming back. For gods, possibly strands that connect them to points that mortal races can't.
How did the gods go away? Most of their threads were cut, maybe to the point that they couldn't actively interact with the mortal world, but still bound sufficiently to still exist in some state that no living mortal could.
How does a demi-god work? Well, you get two mortals together, they reproduce, you get a new mortal thread.
A god and a mortal reproduce, you get a reinforced thread. Stronger the thread, the closer to divinity you are.
The tricky part would be how exactly the gods went away and what they have to do to come back.
First thought - someone managed to find a way to unbind the threads and did so. Why they did it? Who knows. Maybe the gods were complacent, omnipotent assholes that needed a good comeuppance so they'd stop abusing the world with their power. Or something. That's up to you to decide.
But anyway, as for how the gods come back? Well, they might have to sacrifice part of their own essence, losing connection with some things and redirecting the threads to essentially reattach themselves to the world.
Or maybe, mournful followers develop a way to ritually sacrifice themselves in order to give over their threads to their god, allowing the god to rebind themselves at the cost of their own existences.
Ooo, I like this. Actually fits really well with one of my systems of magic (which is based around a tapestry of Life called the Weave which is basically all the possible pasts, presents and futures woven together. So powerful mages can change what happens by affecting the Weave while Seers can see the future and probabilities etc.) I can't remember if that was the system I was going to use in this world or not, but it fits quite well anyway so I might just tweak it about until I like it.

Thanks Crow, idea stolen ;)

Good morning one and all, the Viking has crawled out of his hovel unaccountably early this fine chilly morning and is eager for fun and games. Is anyone awake yet? If not I'll have to talk to myself for a while (and I've done more of that than I'm comfortable thinking about ;-))

You are taking on WAAAAAAAAY more than I ever would in the writing of a novel. I have absolute respect for you, but...I mean...wow, do you realize just how much of a beast you're breathing life into there?

'All the possible pasts, presents and futures woven together...'

HEEER-YOOOOOGE.

It makes my crime novel ideas look like TV ads.

I completely admire your vision, I just hope you're young enough to complete it ;-)
