[QUOTE="Majou, post: 67091, member: 3025"] [b]no more gods?[/b] If you are looking for alternate cosmologies where there are no gods you might try "Oriental Adventures" settings. There are no gods only spirits and there may be up to five elements or more planes. Check my oriental adventures [URL=http://www.geocities.com/david_acevedo/OAv3p1H.htm]campaign[/URL] Another idea is to have two pantheons of competing gods or titans like they do in scared lands. This is based on historical mythology: Olympians vs. Titans, Aesir vs. Jotuns, Celts vs. Fomorians, Marduke vs. Tiamat, etc. Or you might go even higher and not bother with gods, asume polytheism and create pantheons: orcish pantheon, human patheon etc. Each pantheon would have a buch of domains with gods associated to them; that way there could be two gods for art and three gods for war. I prefer this options to the traditional DnD poly-monotheism where instead of having many gods they have many churches... Well that is my opinion anyway. [/QUOTE]
