[QUOTE="Rystil Arden, post: 3890572, member: 29014"] I recently did this to much success, unintentionally at first--I was home in MD for a weekend for an ENWorld Gameday, and my little cousins, who were staying with my parents and had never played D&D before, plus my youngest brother (who had) all bugged me for a game. When they saw the deity list and I was about to mention some typical D&D deities, the two of them asked if they could have Zeus and Kratos (if you don't know who he is, he's a god of might and brother to Nike, goddess of victory) as their deities. And then my little brother insisted on playing a size Small character (I didn't want halflings at that point, so I used the legends of the Argyreoi Daimones, the remnants of the silver age of man, so he played a fae with wind powers). Somehow I improvised a game and it was a lot of fun (they got to fight some harpies with an ancient Greek twist, a lesser Kraken, and then some Amazons). But yeah, you don't even need to add Isis and Serapis--you can cover the goddess of magic well enough with Hecate, who adds an awesome and creepy witchery factor to it. ~Loves Greek Mythology Spikey [/QUOTE]
