Yeah, Hermes gets a lot of play in the religious sphere, but Hermes Trismegistus hits his greatest popularity in the medieval area. He's popular on Maya (with Wizards and Sorcerers, naturally), but I'm trying to reconstruct the original cults that traveled to my campaign. Once I have an idea of...

He's on the list, but also Hermes. Which seems odd to us in D&D-land, but think of the real world -- how many Christian denominations that disagree might be found in the same city?

-Michael Scott No, really, that one sounds like him.

If you felt like lobbing a grenade at the whole mess, you could have piped up from the peanut gallery: "Uh... can someone explain to me Damage on a Miss? It looks like a great mechanic!" But seriously, I ran at cons for over twenty years. I've seen things...

So, I have been noodling around with my forever-in-development home game setting, which grew out of something I created thirty (or more!) years ago for a campaign. And I thought it would make sense to track progress, because it seems like, when I take a mental break from one project (currently...

While I reprehend you perfectly, I think the perceived prevalence of that on these boreds is just a pigment of your imagination.

I should have stuck with my OSE item. Ah, well. Call of Cthulhu isn't as popular as D&D on these boards, I guess.

My spite is load-bearing, I'm sorry to say.

I will wait to see what happens when the next Marvel movie, Jared Leto: It's Letoing Time, comes out next year.

I am a strange, strange man. Almost two decades ago, David Schwartz wrote a series of short articles for Dragon magazine describing the Aztec pantheon in D&D 3.5 terms. I really liked them, but Paizo's run of Dragon ended before the series could conclude. He ended up posting the last two short...
