History Roleplay / DestroyTheGodmodder

'''Destroy the Godmodder''' is a series of PlayByPostGames originating on the Minecraft Forums that is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. It takes place in the world of VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}, which is being terrorized by a very powerful player known as [[GodModders The Godmodder]]. The Godmodder possesses the uncanny ability to [[NighInvulnerability block nearly every attack]] thrown at him, which makes the titular goal very nearly a lost cause. However, it is possible to beat him by either using attacks that can't be blocked or godmodded or by counter-godmodding one of his blocks. Of course, [[DeathOfAThousandCuts each successful attack (usually) only does 1 damage]], turning the fight into a long and excruciating grind.

The first game, aptly titled '''[[http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/off-topic/forum-games/434145-destroy-the-godmodder Destroy the Godmodder]]''', was started by [=TT2000=] on December 7th, 2012 and ended on September 1st, 2013. It details [[BigBad the Godmodder]]'s rampage on [=GenericCraft=], a suitably generic Minecraft server. Over time, a dedicated playerbase started to form, intent on completing the game. In a saga that took nearly nine months, the players had to deal with many different enemies, such as [[KingMook Terror Mobs]] (giant Minecraft mobs), a dimensional monster, [[TheGrimReaper Death]] himself, a [[OminousVisualGlitch reality-breaking]] [[EldritchAbomination Glitch]], the Godmodder's [[StormingTheCastle massive in-game fortress]], the Godmodder's promotion to Admin rank on the server, and his last weapon, the Anti-Chuck Norris Turret Tank.

The second game, '''[[http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/off-topic/forum-games/435676-destroy-the-godmodder-2-operator Destroy the Godmodder 2]][[ArcWords Operator!]]''', was started by [=TwinBuilder=] on [[ArcNumber September 1st]], 2013 and ended two years later on September 1st, 2015. It details the Godmodder forming his own Minecraft server after the events of the first game. Called [=GodCraft=], he traps the entire Minecraft playerbase on the server where they are doomed to eternally ragequit. A new group of Anti-Godmodder rises up to fight him in an epic two-year-long battle spanning multiple universes. In addition to fighting the Godmodder, the players had to deal with the machination of the mysterious [[TheManBehindTheMan Employer]], working behind the scenes to bring the villains from Webcomic/{{Homestuck}} onto the server in an invasion. They also had to combat the governments of Earth and their rogue supercomputer dubbed [[AIIsACrapshoot Project Binary]], as well as many other unseen forces, both player-driven and not. The game was split up into four acts, each with their own major villains to fight, and three intermissions, which were breaks in the action that focused on side plotlines. The fifth act wrapped up the game's story. An epilogue was produced one year after the game's end, on September 1st, 2016, intending to tie the game into future games in the series and set up [[spoiler:a reboot]].

The resulting game, '''[[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/destroy-the-godmodder-msparadox-destroy-the-godmodder-homestuck-multicross.765619/ Destroy the Godmodder: MSPAradox]]''', is created and run by [=Gutza1=] and acts as a reboot of both the failed original MSPA session and a revival of the original canon. Starting on July 4th, 2019, it takes DTG 1, 2, and the [=TvTropes=] session as canon while selectively taking elements of other spin-offs in BroadStrokes. The plot concerns the machinations of the Godmodder as he enacts a hostile takeover of Homestuck's Paradox Space setting, merging every session of SBURB into one gigantic session- but the game and its playerbase are equally focused on the Descendants that rise to stop (or assist) the Godmodder this time around, bringing such characters as the [[RobotGirl robot girls]] D.I.G.I. and Aurora, the [[OurVampiresAreDifferent luck vampire]] and [[SpoiledSweet sheltered megacorp heir]] Keane [=McZupp=], and the quirky yet omnicidal [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Devastator Undying]] (among others) to almost as much prominence as the Godmodder's schemes. It is ongoing and intended to be the start of a new series of games in the [=DTG=] canon.

* '''[[http://forums.terraria.org/index.php?threads/destroy-the-godmodder.20086/ Destroy the Godmodder: Terraria Edition.]]''' Created by [=Jondanger23=], and [=GMed=] first by Jondanger23, then by [=CrypticCataclysm=], then by crystalcat, then most recently by [=TrickleJest=], and hosted on the Terraria Forums. It showed the Godmodder attacking a Terraria server. Recently canonized, it takes place after the [=MSPA=] Edition's end. It is currently dead due to its last GM leaving the DTG community and community agreement to let it die, and has been made "loose canon" by community agreement due to being unfinished.

** In the case of video games, creating one also creates a [[CyberSpace code-based universe]] in which the events of said video game are real (see: VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}, VideoGame/DwarfFortress).

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: The Godmodder is fabled throughout Minecraft and beyond as the only Omega+ godmodder in existence; the highest rank of godmodder. Of course, to do this, he had to get through all of the other tiers first, which requires tons of asskicking. That's why he's got the capital G.

* AttackAttackAttack: The standard tactic of near everything in the game, players and godmodders included. The Players, well, [[PlayedWith play]] [[AccidentalPun with]] this trope, as they can and will [[SummonMagic summon entities]], but this usually doesn't get in the way of attacking directly and that same power can also be used in massive [[AlphaStrike alpha strikes.]]

** [=TwinBuilder=], the Game Master of Destroy the Godmodder 2, was summoned as an entity himself. He became one of the most story-influential entities, breaking the Fourth Wall in the process.
*** Although that last part didn't matter because [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou it was gone anyway.]] {{Literal|Metaphor}}ly.

* CounterAttack: What godmodding is, combined with [[RealityWarper reality warping]]. Often used by the Godmodder, but some other entities can use it as well.

* DeathIsCheap: Zigzagged. For players, if they're not invincible they have ResurrectiveImmortality, playing this straight almost all the time. For the rare instances when that fails, or for entities, however...[[SubvertedTrope Oh no it is not.]] Ignoring how almost every entity death is [[KilledOffForReal final]], The [[DimensionLord Council]] [[AncientTradition of Nine]] have taken every measure to make sure Limbo (where they usually go) [[DefiedTrope defies this trope]], and it shows. [[DamageSpongeBoss The Limbo Gatekeeper alone is nigh-invincible]] [[TheAssimilator and any soul who fails to defeat it is absorbed into it to fuel its might]]; staying in Limbo causes one to slowly lose memory until they become [[EmptyShell empty shells]] and thus do nothing; [[spoiler: and in the case of the [[EldritchAbomination Red Dragon]], even after he had been defeated and was inactive, they took the extra measure and had made sure to impose an additional {{Seal|edEvilInACan}} on it. There are only two recorded [[EscapedFromHell break-outs]] of Limbo; one is little-known but was perpetrated by the [[EnemyMime Mimes]], while the other was directly caused by the Players, which subsequently caused almost every dead Godmodder (and Flumpty Bumpty) to come back to life.]]

* DigitalAvatar: The players of the games are (unless otherwise specified by them) essentially controlling two characters at once: their real-life self, and their Minecraft avatar. Their avatar does most of the work, whereas the real life one is usually reserved for RP. The MSPA session, MSPAradox and Thymium all buck this trend, however, with both MSPA ones having the players be actual people playing [[TheGamePlaysYou SBURB]] by default and Thymium containing a diverse cast of original characters.

** Actually worked for Splashcat in MSPAradox... although only because it was somehow backed up with large amounts of UsefulNotes/{{Kabbalah}}.

* HyperspaceArsenal: Everyone pulls weapons seemingly out of nowhere. This gets worse in [=DTG2=] when people abuse this mechanic to use more weapons than they can hold at once. Justified, however: The setting of the game is either {{VideoGame/Minecraft}}, {{VideoGame/Terraria}}, [[{{Webcomic/Homestuck}} SBURB]] or a video-game representation of Website/TvTropes, all of which feature this system to some degree in their inventory.

* PlayerAndProtagonistIntegration: Everyone is playing as their own Minecraft account ingame, unless they decide to expand their character to something greater or make an entirely different character. All three scenarios are common.

* ShoutOut: [[MassiveMultiplayerCrossover it may be stretching it,]] but when it's not a direct crossover it's likely this. Most obviously {{VideoGame/Minecraft}}, or {{VideoGame/Terraria}} when the games moved. {{VideoGame/Fez}}, VideoGame/TeamFortress2, {{VideoGame/Portal}}, {{VideoGame/Antichamber}}, WesternAnimation/GravityFalls and {{Webcomic/Homestuck}} (especially Homestuck) have also been referenced quite often.

* AbandonedLaboratory: In this case, Aperture Science from VideoGame/{{Portal}}, which actually exists in the game's "real" version of Earth.

** B1NARY 1S becomes this after Project Binary [[spoiler: [[TakeOverTheWorld takes over the world.]]]]

** The Godmodder's backstory is sad too, with him being bullied in his childhood. Although he went on to become successful and make lots of money, he felt empty and directionless inside, leading a meaningless existence... [[FaceHeelTurn Although that ended up turning around when he discovered Minecraft.]]

* TheMonolith: The '''Black Monolith''', an ancient artifact that comes from the game {{VideoGame/FEZ}}. It can grant the wish of anyone who uses it. This seems like relatively cliche stuff until you realize that every player could achieve an independent goal with it, and that the big bads could use it as well.

* TheMostDangerousVideoGame: Minecraft becomes this in Act 3, because [[spoiler:if you play it there's an extremely real chance that you'll be arrested, shipped to the Moon, and either brainwashed or killed for your actions.]]

* Rule63: [=PitTheAngel=], as evidenced on the 5,000th-post attack, has had some issues with genderbending in the past. Later on in the game, genderbending weapons started being produced that - you guessed it - changed the gender of whoever got hit by it. When this happened to the Godmodder, he became the Girlmodder, and any attack directed at the Godmodder that ''called'' him the Godmodder would fail. These shenanigans ended when the Godmodder stated that everything in Minecraft canonically has no gender unless stated otherwise by its creators.

** Escape from Antichamber, an insanely long sidequest where Flare Flames had to navigate and escape the world of {{VideoGame/Antichamber}}. He finally did so and got [[VideoGame/{{FEZ}} the Fez]] and the coveted Black Gun.

** Charles Barkley didn't have one, but is retroactively the Big Man after a {{Webcomic/Homestuck}} ShoutOut.

* RealityBreakingParadox: In [[TemporalParadox Temporal]], [[TeleFrag Spatial]] and [[DivideByZero Metaphysical]] varieties! Also what many of the AZ players are trying to avoid in assisting Richard, as they come from the future of [=DTG2=] or some derivative where he [[TimeTravelTenseTrouble was/is/will be]] the Omega+ Godmodder.
** [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration Also a gameplay mechanic.]] If a paradox-generating action occurs, which is thankfully rare, then a random roll occurs to see the result of the Paradox. Paradoxes are basically non-sentient [[RandomNumberGod Random Number Gods]], so what happens can vary between nothing of note, an incredible boon, a massive crippling backlash, or TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt.

* ShoutOut: The usual mass referencing in entities aside, {{VideoGame/Undertale}} is particularly prominent in this installment, with two bosses and one godmodder hailing from there and [=UserZero=] personally interfering with events there as well. [[VideoGame/BarkleyShutUpAndJamGaiden Barkley Gaiden]] was also involved in the form of the protagonists being a [[GateGuardian Gatekeeper Boss]].

* TurnsRed: Invoked by several entities, such as Ultra Greed, mirroring his attack patterns in VideoGame/TheBindingOfIsaac.

* MiniGame: In lieu of the Game master's absence, the players did a mini game involving the other popular mini game, [[VideoGame/BloonsTowerDefense Bloons Tower Defense 5.]]

* RealityBreakingParadox: At one point, [[Videogame/SuperPaperMario Dimentio]] created a paradox that wreaked havoc for a number of rounds. [[note]] It was the first ever multi-thread event, cooperating with [=DTG2=].[[/note]] In-universe, Dimentio's antics almost ended the multiverse.

* DiscOneNuke: Abuse of the resident ItemCrafting system has led to the creation of some very potent items, the most powerful of which is the [[EnergyWeapon High-Powered]] [[LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe Shielder's]] [[LaserBlade Laser]] [[BoomStick Gunblade]].

* TramuaInn: In Zone 3, there's an alcove where people can rest to fully recover their HP and MP.

*** Eliti are known exceptions to this rule; Daikon could casually reverse time to restore Droplet to full HP, the NaClestial (and Saltlings by extension) could copy a player with a healing ability, and Lucid could bring his crystals back from being downed. [[spoiler: Monika, using the data of old builds, can also summon healers through Spawn Point (and used [[WhiteMage Keiko]] as part of her first wave), on top of having both a self-heal and the ability to change her damage to healing.]] The Mitosystem Infection used their [[HealItWithFire extreme immunity to posion to heal themselves with their own poison-inflicting attacks,]] but that is more [[ExploitedImmunity]] than intentional healing.

* Non-Elemental: Glitch, Mana and Thyme serve this role for the most part. Unusually, Glitch is the favored element of the Rose Cult, while Thyme, despite being the composite substance of most Iti, is only resisted and used in attacks by very few. Mana, meanwhile, refers to Mana Damage, IE directly attacking the MP bar instead of the HP bar.

The game is managed by the [[GameMaster Game Master]], who, in-universe, updates the thread using an Update Terminal, letting them control a mysterious force known as The Narrative, [[RealityWarper changing the very plot of reality]]. In real life, though, the [=GM=] just takes all of the actions the players have done every turn and responds to them, determining whether they [[EpicFail fail]] or not, and how successful they are in standard forum game fashion.

* '''[[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=14374538970A34357900&page=0 Destroy the Godmodder TV Tropes Edition 2: Salvation.]]''' Created by Lord_Herobrine, later [=GMed=] by Tabbune, and hosted on the TV Tropes Forums. A loosely canon sequel to the first TV Tropes game. Its main story is complete, but the thread itself has been used to host a couple of [[BonusBoss bonus bosses.]]
* '''[[http://forums.terraria.org/index.php?threads/destroy-the-godmodder.20086/ Destroy the Godmodder: Terraria Edition.]]''' Created by Jondanger23, and [=GMed=] first by Jondanger23, then by [=CrypticCataclysm=], then by crystalcat, then most recently by [=TrickleJest=], and hosted on the Terraria Forums. It showed the Godmodder attacking a Terraria server. Recently canonized, it takes place after the [=MSPA=] Edition's end. It is currently dead due to its last GM leaving the DTG community and community agreement to let it die, and has been made "loose canon" by community agreement due to being unfinished.

** In the case of video games, creating one also creates a [[CyberSpace code-based universe]] in which the events of said video game are real (see: VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}, VideoGame/{{Dwarf Fortress}}).

*** Although that last part didn't matter because [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou it was gone anyway.]] [[LiteralMetaphor Literally.]]

* BrokenBridge: {{Invoked}}, {{inverted}} and [[PlayedWith played with]] by the "Crevasse Bridging" event. Usually an early-game event that only occurs once, either the Godmodder or circumstantial forces will arise to create a massive crevasse, separating the factions. For whatever reason, [[GravityScrew gravitational forces are strong enough to prevent attacks from reaching the other side]], forcing players to bridge the gap manually. It's {{inverted}} in that, from a gameplay standpoint, the players not only create the bridge from scratch, but the bridging itself ''is'' the plot event that is preventing game progression by attacking the Godmodder.

** Beyond even these are the Unsung, who apparently form 99% of the actual forces in a given conflict and yet, despite this, aren't mentioned. They're not [[{{Unperson}} unpersoned]] or being forgotten about-they just die ''that fast.''

* DeathIsCheap: Zigzagged. For players, if they're not invincible they have ResurrectiveImmortality, playing this straight almost all the time. For the rare instances when that fails, or for entities, however...[[SubvertedTrope Oh no it is not.]] Ignoring how almost every entity death is [[KilledOffForReal final]], The [[DimensionLord Council]] [[AncientTradition of Nine]] have taken every measure to make sure Limbo (where they usually go) [[DefiedTrope defies this trope]], and it shows. [[DamageSpongeBoss The Limbo Gatekeeper alone is nigh-invincible]] [[TheAssimilator and any soul who fails to defeat it is absorbed into it to fuel its might]]; staying in Limbo causes one to slowly lose memory until they become [[EmptyShell empty shells]] and thus do nothing; [[spoiler: and in the case of the [[EldritchAbomination Red Dragon]], even after he had been defeated and was inactive, they took the extra measure and had made sure to impose an additional [[SealedEvilInACan Seal]] on it. There are only two recorded [[EscapedFromHell break-outs]] of Limbo; one is little-known but was perpetrated by the [[EnemyMime Mimes]], while the other was directly caused by the Players, which subsequently caused almost every dead Godmodder (and Flumpty Bumpty) to come back to life.]]

** [[DemonicDummy Creepy Adrenaline Rush]] (A case of [[AuthorAvatar Author Avatars]] being turned into a dummy) can qualify due to his attack style: He cries blood and pyschically assaults his victims with nightmares.

*** When ''that'' was averted, [[spoiler:the Godmodder promptly went [[OmnicidalManiac omnicidal]] and promptly decided to [[ApocalypseHow destroy all of existence, starting with the universe of Minecraft]], with the aid of the [[EldritchAbomination Red Dragon]]. The Conflict also has this as their ultimate goal.]]

** Actually worked for Splashcat in MSPAradox... although only because it was somehow backed up with large amounts of [[UsefulNotes/Kabbalah Kabbalah]].

* HyperspaceArsenal: Everyone pulls weapons seemingly out of nowhere. This gets worse in [=DTG2=] when people abuse this mechanic to use more weapons than they can hold at once. Justified, however: The setting of the game is either {{Videogame/Minecraft}}, {{Videogame/Terraria}}, [[{{Webcomic/Homestuck}} SBURB]] or a video-game representation of Website/TvTropes, all of which feature this system to some degree in their inventory.

* TheMainCharactersDoEverything: There are supposedly uncounted numbers of individuals wrapped up in the conflict. And still, every single thing has to be done by the players or one of the [[BigBad big bads]].

* ShoutOut: [[MassiveMultiplayerCrossover it may be stretching it,]] but when it's not a direct crossover it's likely this. Most obviously {{VideoGame/Minecraft}}, or {{VideoGame/Terraria}} when the games moved. {{VideoGame/Fez}}, [[{{VideoGame/TeamFortress2}} Team Fortress 2]], {{VideoGame/Portal}}, {{VideoGame/Antichamber}}, [[{{WesternAnimation/GravityFalls}} Gravity Falls]] and {{Webcomic/Homestuck}} (especially Homestuck) have also been referenced quite often.

* ThrowTheMookAtThem: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] quite comically. If you throw a [=PG=] entity at the Godmodder, the Godmodder's minion will take damage instead of him. It proves to be an effective attack 100% of the time if you can get around to throwing the entity without being blocked.

* VoidBetweenTheWorlds: What the Void is. It's a massive dimension of nothingness that represents the majority of reality, with every universe in existence represented as a bubble of sorts, floating inside. The Void is nearly inhospitable and is home to many [[EldritchAbomination Eldritch Abominations]].

* PlotDevice: Several. The '''Black Monolith''', the Disc of Mojang, the First Block, the Ancestral Artifacts, the FEZ, and the Hexahedron. All could be considered MacGuffins, but they all have fairly important relevance to the story, even reappearing in later acts.

** Charles Barkley didn't have one, but is retroactively the Big Man after a {{WebComic/Homestuck}} ShoutOut.

* ShoutOut: The usual mass referencing in entities aside, {{VideoGame/Undertale}} is particularly prominent in this installment, with two bosses and one godmodder hailing from there and [=UserZero=] personally interfering with events there as well. [[{{VideoGame/BarkleyShutUpAndJamGaiden}} Barkley Gaiden]] was also involved in the form of the protagonists being a [[GateGuardian Gatekeeper Boss]].
** For the cases that aren't directly Crossovers at the same time, we have a scene wherein [[DeliberatelyMonochrome everything goes inexplicably into monochrome]] for a calm, quiet chat with sans when Richard killed him. [[{{Franchise/AssassinsCreed}} Sound familiar?]]

* SuckinessIsPainful: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] by players at various points, usually involving music.

** [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by Persecles near his intro:
--> '''Persecles:''' In days long past, the Argynth people fought over large swathes of territory in the vast ocean, forming their own kingdoms which rose and fell. This continues to this day as a stage of conquest is about, with advancing armies both claiming new lands and clashing with each other. I hail from the Cerulean Empire, an empire that is young and hungry for territory.

* TanksForNothing: [[http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/off-topic/forum-games/2513701-destroy-the-godmodder-s-acolyte-dtg-spinoff?page=70 The boss of the second episode]] was a tank. It didn't last very long. This is [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]], however, as it and the [[ZergRush backup wave of Mooks]] managed to punch a hole through Anti-Acolyte lines.

* InterfaceScrew: The True Silence status effect prevented the targeted player from saying much more than their actions in their post, disabling their ability to communicate. Inverted by Toast, who had instead screwed with the interface to suddenly respawn mid-fight, with **interesting** results.

** Every other faction in the game averts this, even the [[ReligionOfEvil Rose Cult and Dark Carnival]]. The Chairian Legions have plenty of sympathetic soldiers JustFollowingOrders for the most part, with only a few Jerkass xenophobic nobles; the Rebels are [[WellIntentionedExtremists Well-Intentioned Extremists]] that run from legitimate freedom-fighters to flat-out crooks; The Rose Cult is objectively pure evil in the present day but only due to being BrainwashedAndCrazy, and a few (like [[DefectorFromDecadence Bass and Ga’aunt]]) have resisted or are merely Cloudcookolanders rather than legitimately hostile; and the Dark Carnival are explicitly doing [[RealityBreakingParadox what they do]] to bring forth what they sincerely, genuinely believe to be a paradise, and a few members were non-hostile (if not outright friendly).

* ForcedSleep: Lucid and the Slumberer class of enemies possessed the ability to induce sleep on the players. For the Slumberers, afflicted players would be woken by taking damage or just waiting the effect out. This was taken up to eleven in Lucid's boss fight, where taking damage [[DeepSleep would not remove sleep inflicted by Lucid]]. Instead, the minds of the sleeping players were transported to an [[MentalWorld alternate map]] where the only way to escape was to defeat the [[Mini-Boss dream construct of Lucid.]]

* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: Anytime a [[BFG Railgun-wielding player]] or anyone buffed to high heavens scores a Critical in general. Specific examples below:

* CoDragons: Piono, [[WebAnimation/{{Madness Combat}} Tricky]], and Professor Mayonaka all serve as Alpha’s main and most important lieutenants.

* HandsomeLech: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] with Keane [=McZupp=]. Keane is legitimately attractive and a shameless skirt-chaser ([[LGBTRepresentationInMedia although one not strictly limited to skirts per se]],) but his [[CloudCuckooLander oddball tendencies]] tend to drive away suitors when they're not simply disinterested in the first place.

* LightningBruiser: Oh so many. Irongutta, Hex, Simeon, Destiny (though she veers into Glass Cannon/Fagile Speedster territory), Wyvern, pretty much every boss bar [[TankGoodness R4-Sat0skr]]... And even that had a charge attack that covered a lot of ground.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Omorika and Cypress, despite all that has happened, are perfectly willing to give the players a chance and hear them out; Omorika enough to [[DefectorFromDecadence outright defect from the Highchair because she believes the Sphere is a deathtrap]], and Cypress gives them a fair shot in spite of first meeting the party after [spoiler=badly burning Acacia in what was supposed to be a friendly duel], though thus far he has remained loyal to Spark and the Legion [[spoiler: until Spark declared him a traitor]]. Abies and Chaiere are known posthumous examples.

* Deconstruction: A major theme in Thymium is the paradoxical nature of [=DTG=]'s entity mechanics. In most other [=DTG=] games, writing flavour and using creativity to make entities their own sentient beings are encouraged- but at the same time, entities are usually treated as disposable, mindless soldiers. As such, Thymium's two major villain factions, the Iti and the Chairian Legion, embody this debate- the Iti are a hivemind of mostly-animalistic monster mooks that have almost zero personality (excluding the [[EliteMook Eliti]]), while the Chairian Legion is an actual army of soldiers with hopes and dreams.

* '''[[https://dtgforums.jcink.net/index.php?showtopic=33 Destroy the Godmodder: Chaos.]]''' Created by Irecreeper and run on the DTG Forums, it broke the mold of what a [=DTG=] game really was. It can be thought of as a grid-based RPG, with traditional stats, abilities, weapons, and such. [[LooseCanon Its importance to oldcanon is dubious]], but it takes place after [=DTG2=], with the players being trapped in the mind of a malevolent being known as Chaoscreeper. It has ended and now has an ongoing sequel, known as '''[[https://dtgforums.jcink.net/index.php?showtopic=102 Project Thymium,]]''' also run on the [=DTG=] Forums by Irecreeper. Project Thymium concerns the former Chairheir of Locaa, the Descendant Irecreeper. Upon returning to his home planet, Ire was forced to ingest the remnants of the Waluigi Thyme (his Spoil of War from [=DTG2=]) as punishment for his reckless actions in the Second Godmodding War, and subsequently mutated into a malevolent being called [=WARE=]. [=WARE=] was imprisoned and began to siege the planet with mindless monsters from his prison, the Sphere- which is also primed to explode, taking out at least one-third of reality. Thymium has reached its final arc, and a "[=DLC=]" campaign, Children of the Thyme, is currently being planned.

* VampiresAreRich: Overlaps with OurVampiresAreDifferent. Keane [=McZupp=] is the son of quintillionaire Emericald [=McZupp=], the [=CEO=] of [=McZupp=] Corporation. The [=McZupp=] family also happens to be a family of vamprobabilitants- luck vampires

It can be thought of as a grid-based RPG, with traditional stats, abilities, weapons, and such.

Project Thymium has reached its final arc, and a [="DLC"=] campaign is currently being planned.

* SealedEvilInACan: Unlike in Homestuck's "postcanon," the Alpha Timeline Lord English (who is distinct from the "Omega Timeline" Lord English that appeared in [=DTG2=]) was sealed away in Calliope's black hole, and is still alive.
* StandardSciFiSetting: Paradox Space has become something approaching this following the canon events of ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' and the discovery of the Cherub Relay network, though travel is between entire universes rather than mere star systems. Much of the worlds on the network are controlled by various minor troll polities, though there also exist larger factions such as the [[TheEmpire Neo-Alternian Empire]], [[MegaCorp Nanotrasen]], or the [[HegemonicEmpire Teladas Union]].

** Sky High's characters have set up a network of quantum teleporters to allow for faster travel around the Megasession.
** [[spoiler: On a smaller scale, the [[Franchise/DragonAge eluvians]] used by the Agents of Fen'Harel to move around the Incipisphere undetected.]]

Starting on July 4th, 2019, it takes DTG 1, 2, and the [=TvTropes=] session as canon while selectively taking elements of other spin-offs in BroadStrokes. The plot concerns the machinations of the Godmodder as he enacts a hostile takeover of Homestuck's Paradox Space setting, merging every session of SBURB into one gigantic session- but the game and its playerbase are equally focused on the Descendants that rise to stop (or assist) the Godmodder this time around, bringing such characters as the [[RobotGirl robot girls]] D.I.G.I. and Aurora, the [[OurVampiresAreDifferent luck vampire]] and [[SpoiledSweet sheltered megacorp heir]] Keane McZupp, and the quirky yet omnicidal villain [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Devastator Undying]] to almost as much prominence as the Godmodder's schemes. It is ongoing and intended to be the start of a new series of games in the [=DTG=] canon.

The second game, '''[[http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/off-topic/forum-games/435676-destroy-the-godmodder-2-operator Destroy the Godmodder 2]][[ArcWords Operator!]]''', was started by [=TwinBuilder=] on [[ArcNumber September 1st]], 2013 and ended two years later on September 1st, 2015. It details the Godmodder forming his own Minecraft server after the events of the first game. Called [=GodCraft=], he traps the entire Minecraft playerbase on the server where they are doomed to eternally ragequit. A new group of Anti-Godmodder rises up to fight him in an epic two-year-long battle spanning multiple universes. In addition to fighting the Godmodder, the players had to deal with the machination of the mysterious [[TheManBehindTheMan Employer]], working behind the scenes to bring the villains from Webcomic/{{Homestuck}} onto the server in an invasion. They also had to combat the governments of Earth and their rogue supercomputer dubbed [[AIIsACrapshoot Project Binary]], as well as many other unseen forces, both player-driven and not. The game was split up into four acts, each with their own major villains to fight, and three intermissions, which were breaks in the action that focused on side plotlines. The fifth act wrapped up the game's story. An epilogue was produced one year after the game's end, on September 1st, 2016, that tied the game into future games in the series and set up [[spoiler:the reboot]].

The third game, called '''[[http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/off-topic/forum-games/2521706-destroy-the-godmodder-0rigins Destroy the Godmodder 0rigins]]''', was started by [=The_Nonexistent_Tazz=] on September 9th, 2015. It was the last game in the main series. It showed events before [=DTG1=] and [=DTG2=], detailing how the Godmodder went from being a Gamma Tier godmodder to being the Omega+ Tier he is now by battling the previous Omega Tier Godmodder, [=UserZero=], on her own server. In a stunning reversal, the players defaulted to ''helping'' the Godmodder by defeating [=UserZero=], who had her own nefarious plans at the heart of the server's World Tree... However, there were players who chose to side with Uzi or forge their own paths, believing if they stopped the Godmodder from winning, they could prevent the catastrophes that will occur later down the road. It ended prematurely after concerns over rampant drama and arguments affecting the GM's health were raised by players, and has been relegated to being "loose canon" by community agreement due to being unfinished.

The main series ended with [=DTG0=], though the canon story has been continued through spinoffs, text adventures, and other miscellaneous works. Some spinoffs, however, are noncanon. A [[ContinuityReboot reboot]] has also been perfomed, creating an alternate continuity known as "altcanon" with the hopes of simplifying the series' [[KudzuPlot labyrinthine plot]]. Below is a list of spinoffs.

* '''[[http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/off-topic/forum-games/436300-be-the-godmodders-defeat-notch-finished Be the Godmodders: Defeat Notch.]]''' Created by Fseftr and hosted on the Minecraft Forums. It showed an alternate reality where the players themselves are godmodders and are helping the Godmodder storm Mojang's base and defeat Notch. Non-canon. It is complete.
* '''[[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13969038880A73377900&page=0 Destroy the Godmodder: TV Tropes Edition.]]''' Created by pionoplayer and hosted on the TV Tropes Forums. It took place in the main series' timeline, chronologically after the events of [=DTG2=]. It is complete.

* '''[[http://forum.chocolatepi.net/showthread.php?tid=829 Destroy the Godmodder: MSPA Edition.]]''' Created by pionoplayer, later continued by Fseftr, and hosted on the Chocolate Pi Forum. It took place in the main series' timeline, chronologically after TV Tropes Edition. It shows the Godmodder attempting to take over SBURB by merging all sessions into one gigantic conglomerate. It ended after a lack of players forced Fseftr to end the game, and has been made "loose canon" by community agreement due to being unfinished.

* '''[[http://s15.zetaboards.com/DTG_Forums/topic/8323068/1/ Destroy the Godmodder: Pain and Suffering.]]''' Created by [=ConsumerOfAll=] and run on the DTG Forums, it was intended to contain much [[TitleDrop pain and suffering]] for those who dare oppose the godmodder. The godmodder in this game, Alicia, has taken over [=AscensionCraft=], a typical faction server with a few sprinkles of weirdness. Non-canon. It is no longer ongoing.
* '''[[http://s15.zetaboards.com/DTG_Forums/topic/8059969/1/ Destroy the Godmodder: Chaos.]]''' Created by Irecreeper and run on the DTG Forums, it broke the mold of what a [=DTG=] game really was. It can be thought of as a grid-based RPG, with traditional stats, abilities, weapons, and such. [[LooseCanon Its importance to canon is dubious]], but it takes place after [=DTG2=], with the players being trapped in the mind of a malevolent being known as Chaoscreeper. It has ended and now has an ongoing sequel, known as Project Thymium, also run on the [=DTG=] Forums by Irecreeper.

* WeekendInventor: The second game has an alchemy system that falls under this, especially considering that the game supposedly takes place in a vanilla [=Minecraft=] server.

* HyperspaceArsenal: Everyone pulls weapons seemingly out of nowhere. This gets worse in [=DTG2=] when people abuse this mechanic to use more weapons than they can hold at once. Justified, however: The setting of the game is either {{Videogame/Minecraft}}, {{Videogame/Terraria}}, [[{{Webcomic/Homestuck}} SBURB]] or a video-game representation of Wiki/TvTropes, all of which feature this system to some degree in their inventory.

** [[UpToEleven Beyond even these]] are the Unsung, who apparently form 99% of the actual forces in a given conflict and yet, despite this, aren't mentioned. They're not [[{{Unperson}} unpersoned]] or being forgotten about-they just die ''that fast.''

** [[spoiler: The Conflict, an Anti-[[SentientCosmicForce Narrative]] empowering two villainous figures, also counts, [[UpToEleven on an even more insane scale than the Red Dragon]], and was the direct reason why [[TheManBehindTheMan The Employer]], [[AIIsACrapshoot Project Binary]], and even [[GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere Binary Prime]] were so ridiculously dangerous. Those three? They're just ''fragments'' of this thing. It was also responsible for a massive cataclysmic war that nearly destroyed existence in the past. Fortunately, it's weaker than the Narrative now, but that's hardly much comfort. Its Agents are all this by extension, which includes the aforementioned Red Dragon.]]

*** In Terraria, ''[[UpToEleven it got upgraded]]'' into Unlimimatum.

** If they DO, they're CListFodder turned UpToEleven and aren't even put into the End of Turn Battle.

** The Incarnate [[UpToEleven takes the cake here,]] being so large that its limbs, chest and head were ''whole areas'' and it had a ''gravitational pull''.

* MagicWand: Commonly used as weaponry among the mages of the game. [=TheLordErelye=] took this [[UpToEleven]] and made the Hazel Wand, a devastating wand with a number of powers that took hundreds of charge points to fully upgrade.

** The End of Act 4, [[UpToEleven full stop]]. It brought almost every event in the game together, making a storypost so large it had to take 6 posts to publish. So many important events happened in this mega-event that they have to be listed in bullet points below:

* TheDreaded: The Black is this (mostly OutOfUniverse). Noteworthy in that this is despite his powers being unexplained beyond having the ability to [[KilledOffForReal soulkill]] through some undefined method and ''[[UpToEleven not even being canon yet.]]'' The threat of his canonization and subsequent summoning is the stated result of a roll of 1 on a Paradox Roll, and is the primary reason why [[RealityBreakingParadox Paradoxes]] are not intentionally exploited. It doens't help that he's one of the two Mirthful Messiash according ot Dark Carnival lore:

* WaveMotionGun: The Beam Spell, especially on a high-[=INT=] character. The Wide option unlocked at 5 [=INT=] takes this UpToEleven

* ForcedSleep: Lucid and the Slumberer class of enemies possessed the ability to induce sleep on the players. For the Slumberers, afflicted players would be woken by taking damage or just waiting the effect out. This was taken UpToEleven in Lucid's boss fight, where taking damage [[DeepSleep would not remove sleep inflicted by Lucid]]. Instead, the minds of the sleeping players were transported to an [[MentalWorld alternate map]] where the only way to escape was to defeat the [[Mini-Boss dream construct of Lucid.]]

** Taken UpToEleven during the second BonusBoss fight, where players were given plenty of means to increase their damage outputs, including various {{Mooks}} that provide buffs to their killers on death. In the final round, the boss was not only defeated, but dealt overkill damage exceeding its maximum [=HP=], including one attack that dealt over thirty thousand damage. [[spoiler: Subverted and Deconstructed: The boss in question managed to actually ''survive'' all that devastation, only to [[DefeatEqualsExplosion violently detonate]] and [[TotalPartyKill wipe the party.]] Thankfully this was a noncanon battle.]]

* SacrificialLamb: Most of the summons that manage to last a significant amount of time. [[{{Kitsune}} Wilson]] managed to Subvert this due to his initial insignificance and neutrality and survives until the end of the game, and [[CombatReferee Build]] managed to do likewise.

* {{Kitsune}}: Wilson, Talist's main character, is one. He starts off as a simple potion brewer, but by the end of the game, he turns into an unstoppable force with a large array of power.

* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: Adding onto the above, nearly every major character has a certain color they talk in. Justified in the case of split personalities who are represented by opposite colors known as spectra. Build talks in green, Split talks in red, the Godmodder talks in goldenrod, [[spoiler:Alpha talks in cobalt, the Employer talks in orchid]]... And then there's the players!

* SupernaturalIsPurple: [=The_Serpent=] spoke in an orchid text color and became clearly associated with the color orchid pretty early on into the game. Because of this, Project Binary ended up becoming heavily associated with the color orchid as well. [[spoiler:Later on, the Employer and Binary Prime would also fall under this.]]

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Oh yeah. Hundreds of summons, many of which with tidbits. There are over twenty people that have posted enough times to be at least semi-relevant, and more than twice that number in plot-relevant entities. Major entities measure almost in the hundreds, and all in all, the total number of summons may measure well over a thousand.
** If you were to include all the off-screen characters that supposedly contribute to all of this the numbers go obscenely high due to the fact that it is very largely a crossover.

* LoadsandLoadsOfCharacters: Hoo boy. This trope is a given for most [=DTG=] games, but with its sheer number of players and plotlines, [=MSPAradox=] takes it Up to Eleven. Special mention goes to the numerous one-off and joke characters who become important later on in the story.
** The "sidekick" system allowing players to control multiple player characters also contributes to this.

* AdultFear: Your best friend abruptly going missing after a major fight without a trace. Being kidnapped, experimented upon and emotionally manipulated by your best friend’s brother with no way to call for help. Having your little sister no older than seven get whisked away by a wild animal, then seeing said sister unintentionally wander into a live firefight and get badly burned in the chaos with you unable to help. Your only children vanishing to an unknown and dangerous location and being unable to follow them. For a game in [=DTG’s=] whacky setting, Thymium is ''rife'' with this.

** On the other end of the SlidingScaleOfSillinessVersusSeriousness, there's Keane [=McZupp=]'s proposal during the Intermission 1 meeting of the AGs. His plan, while initially seeming sound enough, falls apart rapidly under scrutiny, establishing him as an UpperClassTwit who's in over his head, but ultimately has [[GeniusDitz hidden]] [[BunnyEarsLawyer depths]] and [[AllLovingHero relentless compassion]], with no hesitation about trying to truly help.

* Magitek: Wielded by multiple Descendants. In addition, the Godmodder's main army, Project Nexus, wields armaments that fire bullets of magical energy rather than conventional projectiles or particles. This was an intentional choice on his part, as he wishes his army's equipment to be confusing and "bizarre" as possible, making it more difficult for opposing forces to fight it.

Godmodder slain!

[[folder: [=DTG=]: [=MSPAradox=] ]]

[[folder:DTG:Chaos]]

** On the other end of the SlidingScaleOfSillinessVersusSeriousness, there's Keane [=McZupp=]'s introduction. What at first seems to be a legitimate declaration of intended omnicide on his part is undermined by his next actions- summoning a giant rocket based on a fancy santa and crashing it through the roof of the Godmodder's base, immediately establishing Keane's status as [[ButtMonkey a goofy loser in over his head.]]

It immediately establishes Keane's status as a goofy loser in over his head.

* PointBuildSystem: Just as in [=DefTG=], the stats of entities in MSPAradox are purchased by investing charge points into areas such as health, defense, attack, or other special abilities, allowing players to customize their entities to a far greater extent than previous canon games.

* BigBad: Alpha, naturally. Though like with [=DTG2=] there are other players at work in the background, such as [[TheChessmaster The Employer]] and [[EvilEmpire the Neo-Alternian Empire]], led by [[Webcomic/{{Homestuck}} The Condesce]]

* MegaCorp: Seems to be a common occurance due to the relatively lawless nature of Paradox Space and Fiction as a whole. Without any centralized authority to keep the peace, major enterprises are forced to look out for themselves.

Godmodder HP: 100/100.

** Sky High's characters frequently make use of equipment provided by CallNowCo, though not much is known of it.

* StandardSciFiSetting: Paradox Space has become something approaching this following the canon events of ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' and the discovery of the Cherub Relay network, though travel is between entire universes rather than mere star systems. Much of the worlds on the network are controlled by various minor troll polities, though there also exist larger factions such as the {{TheEmpire Neo-Alternian Empire}}, {{MegaCorp Nanotrasen}}, or the {{HegemonicEmpire Teladas Union}}.
