While the existence of multiple deities was acknowledged, most historic polytheism did not involve worship of the whole Pantheon but rather people devoted themselves to a relatively small number of local gods - Household/Ancestral Spirits and their local Village or Trade Patron. Most of the...

I started singing Feliz Navidad to myself yesterday after seeing the first lot of public decorations in the council gardens - haven't heard Last Christmas yet

Yeah I would have started with plotting out the general 'cultures' of the setting before going in with the Pantheons - since as I stated above its more important to build the Religious Institutions/Structures the PCs interact in rather than the Pantheons - but the OP launched us in to Pantheon...

I no longer build pantheons for my homebrews, especially polytheistic ones. Instead, I focus on Religious Institutions, which function as the true “adventure engines” for PCs. First, decide what type of religious structure exists in your world: Polytheist – Many gods. Your deity could be a...

Character skill first and allow them to cover awide swarth of possible tasks. For instance I have no real world skill in picking locks but I like to play skilled burglars - I have no idea how different locks function or how jimmying tumblers, or listening for clicks works but I expect that my...

Penny Dreadful? I think an Azalin Rex series could be interesting - Brilliant Draconian Lich Necromancer, who explores across the Domains of Ravenloft, gets in to ongoing conflicts with various Darklords, sets up his own Vampire Gestapo and then gets betrayed by it, all while fighting to...

Space xianxia ? - Im not familiar with this, any accessible examples I might explore? And while Id love to see S&S, I wouldnt want it with 5e rules

Mystery Investigation Intrigue and Politic seem more like adventure types than settings I think 5e has pretty heavily leant in to an Urban settings already and its already kinda bright. Eberron already has modern covered and 5e is already pulled thatvway with Artificers et all. What Id like to...

you mean Morrus isnt harvesting our data and selling it to all the high rollers in the indie games market?
