[QUOTE="Eltab, post: 7406685, member: 6803337"] Maybe your players can help. Talk to them individually; start with any Clerics or Paladins. Explain that you are looking for ideas, not sitting in judgement over them. - What gods do you find interesting in a campaign? Why? - What portfolios (areas of concern) make a god interesting in a campaign? Why? - What gods (or what portfolios) do you think would oppose your character's efforts and your god's goals? - What portfolios would you have covered by an active god? What portfolios would you place in the hands of a 'background' god? - Do you prefer a few gods who each handle many portfolios (and probably also have many aspects), or many gods with a narrow area of concern / action? - What do you know about IRL pantheons, that would make "room" for fun interactions in a D&D campaign? - If the gods are going to be important in the campaign, do you prefer completely homebrewed gods, gods borrowed from other campaigns / sourcebooks, or knock-offs of IRL deities? They might come up with something you haven't thought of, or put ideas together from several sources to get something that is more than the sum of its parts. [/QUOTE]
