Not even half-jelled whalefall idea

[james_davis_nicoll]

TTFRPG setting where from time to time the corpses of vast, incomprehensible beings float down to the surface. These and the irreplaceable resources they contain form the basis of thriving communities... until they're used up. At that point, the communities better hope for another godfall within migration distance because there is no way to sustain the communities as they are accustomed on the mundane resources of the land around them.

Could work as a slightly less grimdark version of Worm - instead of triggering, you get powers by eating bits of a godwhale. You would need other food sources though or everyone would be a cape.

Cauldron capes get powers in Worm by eating bits of a space whale.

The easy fix is that it has to be the right bits. Depending on how those bits are distributed, you could get various patterns of empowerment and ability of the powers that be to control who gets it.
