Dec 25, 2010 18:48:17 So Im trying to craft A Few new gods for a campaign I'm working on, I have a few ideas but would love to have some Major input on this pantheon.

A Few questions are.

-Are Major Gods limited to 5 Domains? and does giving them more domain make them to powerful?

-Need Help woth some good back stories to the Gods.

-General ideas, such as weapons favorited, nicknames, the Way they Look. Anything wpuld be of help.

Thank You!

Dec 25, 2010 20:59:10 You're the DM. They should have as many Domains as you want.

For the other two stuff, do you have any basic ideas for what you want? If so, go ahead and PM me, we can craft some good backstories, etc.

Or, you can post them here, and get a whole bunch of ideas. Really, I think, either option is good.

I'm not saying they'll definately be excited to help build the world they'll be playing in, but I've found that players that do help with world-building (or god-building in this case) tend to become more invested in the game, and, often, have more fun playing in it.

Dec 27, 2010 2:51:49 Make sure to make the gods petty and childish. The Greeks used to love that stuff.

Also some need to hate each other a lot (preferrably also on the same side)

Dec 27, 2010 13:15:12 They are really juvenile and petty, well except for one whose the oldest of all the gods...He's more like that big brother that finds his little siblings really annoying.
