BLACKJACK!
The idea is thus. It is the modern day, and earth is operating as per normal. Suddenly, however, ancient gods start to awake. Zeus, Mars, Ra, Shiva, Enlil, Sedna... Major gods from every religion in existence. And, having been awakened into this confusing modern world, seeing what the world has become, and awakening alongside other so called "gods", these ancient deities begin to fight and destroy, threatening to destroy the earth.
That's where the Modern Gods come in. Whether a robotic AI that's improved itself practically to the point of divinity, a popular figure whose popularity is enough to count as a religion, raising that figure to godhood, whether a horrific sentient virus that's spread across the earth, a scholar whose studies of ancient arcane arts allowed them to achieve divine power, a sufficiently advanced alien, a displaced time traveller with a faulty time machine, or anything of that sort. These Modern Gods, who have grown and gained their divinity in the modern world, are the only things that can stop these Ancient Gods from destroying the world.
The players are these Modern Gods, a coalition of just about every modern figure with enough divine power to be considered a deity.
Feedback and ideas for improvements would be greatly appreciated.
