The other day, in my post about using College Football Teams as the basis for Cleric religions, I half-joked about the new deities Avrae and Ikea, then hit FB to crowdsource more in that vein. As can be imagined, it was a popular topic in both groups I posted in (Dungeon Master Resources and D&D DMs Only).
So thank you to all that participated, to include the honest individual stating that they would avoid a game that used such deities.
One of the responses sent me to a pair of blog posts by the
Angry GM: Conflicted
Beliefs: Building a Perfect Five God Mythology for D&D | The Angry GM and Conflicted
Beliefs: Fluffy Story Bulls$&% | The Angry GM. Both are worth reading if you’re serious
about building your own pantheon.
A few kind folks shared their homemade pantheons, and one
even went so far as to provide some creation myths and necessary domains. While I was initially planning to politely
ignore the bit about domains, it occurred to me that having them allows me to
focus my researches.
Typing this up, I realize that it is American-centric. It happens.
