Haven't you mentioned you don't find use for the much of the TTRPG material out there? That would make it difficult to recommend without knowing what you've already seen and what exactly you are looking for.

Hi Celebrim, it's a bit late but I am glad to see you return to enworld. I missed you in those few years you were gone. I always enjoy reading your posts. Especially the ones about your homebrew material and setting. If there is any place else you talk about it I would like to know if you don't...

The problem is that kind of statement along with "it's just beyond mortal understanding" Has too often been used in D&D(and fiction in general) as a substitute and/or cover for poor writing.

I quoted your post to a discord contact because I liked it and they gave a reply I feel I should post. I think that there is room for seperation of church and state, because of D&D's character class system. Full on theocracies would be societies run by clerics, and have no seperation of church...

Knowing vampire weaknesses and being able to do anything about them if attacked or even knowing the person at your door is a vampire are very different things. Unless you're a dedicated hunter you probably won't assume every person you meet at night is a vampire.

I don't know about that. The "Holy Grail" of "Race Realists" is to prove people of "african ancestry", like us, are a different species, not just race. Any bigot that could use the word species over race to refer to their hated group would probably do so without hesitation.

This, I cannot stress how true this is enough. Many a modern woe can be traced to one group or another trying to force someone to comply either at literal or metaphorical gunpoint or trying to make every discussion about a single thing even if it has no bearing on what anyone is saying.

I see, so you already had a Far Plane and 3e just gave you a label other could understand from a phrase. It's kind of interesting how many settings go with "beyond stuff" or as I call them 11's(from how people describe things beyond the 1-10 scale). To use them or not is something I continue to...

Just to focus on this, I find it interesting you have the Far Realms in your homebrew. From what you said in other threads you updated to a modified 3e because it mechanically fit things you already had from previous editions. But that implies you already had a setting more or less done and just...

Other than the Book of the Righteous is their any premade setting whose religion you do like?

I ran into the same issue when it came to "refining" the planes. Infinity tends to cause more problems than it solves. I notice the goblin god is part of your pantheon even though many of the other names are homebrew, why keep Maglubiyet and not the others?

Interesting the gods would keep the humans around after such an act of rebellion. What with 5 other free peoples to act through. And with Karophet being a lawful evil fiend god. Does that mean you use a different structure to the Hells than D&D's Great wheel does?

Yeah, sorry I must of misunderstood at some point. Because as I was thinking about it after I posted I remembered the magic shop thread and how you explained you have hedge wizards that make minor magic items on commission. Which wouldn't be explained by shamans alone. Though I wanted to ask...

I forgot you mentioned somewhere you didn't like gods of things that are too close to class niches. But it's interesting you address a few of my key problems with divine classes, mainly they don't properly match up with their deities focus. Incidently I remember before you said you use the...

How do you handle the flavor issue of caster focused clerics and melee focused champions with gods of portfolios that focus on classes or concepts different from those types of characters? For example strength gods like Kord having caster focused classes like clerics serving them. Or magic based...

I know your a history buff. Is there historical precedence for champions in polytheism or is it just so you could have a paladin niche? And how is the class distinct from a melee spec'ed cleric?

Is Nuati one of yours? From what I've gathered your homebrew has multiple deities. Do you handle them in a polytheistic way? I know you have a champion class similar to paladins. How do those influence any polytheistic worship?

But couldn't CE deities that offer "easy" power be popular simply for that reason? Chaotics attracting fervent worship? Indeed it was this argument you made in other threads that got my interest in how you see things in D&D. That and your slaadi lord write-ups. I definitely agree alignment has...

How would these differences manifest in good or evil chaotic deities? Also how do you feel about the standard portrayal of drow society?

Interesting, I was wondering what you would say about this. Ever since seeing one of your earlier posts on alignment. But could a church really function under such guidelines? Or is it more you believe a chaotic god couldn't have a true organized church at all?
