[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 4279611, member: 326"] Hiya mate! :) I discussed this recently with someone from these forums via email. I wanted to have three small pdfs. Mesopotamian, Persian and Canaanite which could be released individually and then lumped together to form some sort of Middle-Eastern section of the Immortals Index. They suggested that more people would probably want to see the Greek, Norse and Egyptian mythos. I sort of felt a tad fed up with seeing the same old pantheons in other peoples books. Of course this would be me doing it... ;) ...but even so. Of course I ultimately want to be able to do every pantheon, but again, this is me... :o ...so maybe I shouldn't try to run before I can walk. As I see it, much of the African and Amerindian mythology is basically the same group of deities given different names for different tribes/countries/territories. I know thats doing them a slight disservice, but thats the way I see it. Just like the vast majority see the Greek and Roman gods as the same with different names. Same with the Canaanite/Phoenician, same with Babylonian/Sumerian, same with Aztec/Mayan, same with Irish/Welsh. Yes you can subdivide, but more often that not any such division is a mere facade. Normally I suggest that you reverse all the alignments and make the 'alter-ego' pantheon a sort of evil doppelganger. So the good greek gods will be evil Roman gods and vice versa. But that it itself doesn't call for an entire seperate entry for each deity. It just calls for a footnote. [/QUOTE]
