Neil Gaiman Influenced Mythos

I have a fantasy/mythology/supernatural board that draws so many inspirations from Neil Gaiman and all kinds of general fairy tales, mythologies and the like. It's a cradle of creativity where we let our imaginations take free reign of our writing :). I'd love to know if anyone is interested

There's more to the plot than the below, but it's the main plot and the starting point of the rest of the board:

The spider weaves his web, carefully tying together the threads of fate and reality. He runs the strands over his loom, imagination his only tool. He is the spider Anansi, and he owns all stories. He owns the impossible, the uncanny, the amazing and the incredible. He owns everything to have ever been imagined. He owns every story to have never been told. He weaves new stories upon his web, fashioning new realities. He peers over our shoulders, looks into our dreams and nightmares for inspiration, and writes them into his story; and they shape his web.

His web is the world. His web is all of Creation. It matters little that this cannot be; it simply is, and cares little for any logic or rational that one might use to disprove it. And as he weaves, he shapes Creation itself.

Man turned his back on the stories. They are a little less real now. They hold a little less meaning. They are bedtime stories for little angels. Warning tales for misbehaving children. Tales of amusement. Once these were songs and stories of power, true tales that held within their very telling the essence of the worlds and the hidden mysteries and secrets of Creation. Man betrayed the gift of imagination.

Without the truths of Creation, Creation would unweave. Lies would become the strands that held together all of reality. The nature of existence would corrode and corrupt, twisting into a writhing, cankerous, arrhythmia of life. The stories need to return. The spider must bring them back; every one of them, and make them more real than they have ever been. Real enough to walk the world alongside the humans. But the spider needs a catalyst. The anger of the gods, perhaps. A tantrum. A shift in the natural order. Something to spark this change.

The spider weaves his web and begins a new story; one that brings back all of the stories.
