[QUOTE="Voss, post: 3949044, member: 57593"] The short list of Greyhawk gods (in the 3e PH) was pretty adventurer-slanted. But that didn't mean the rest of the Greyhawk pantheon got set on fire. This is a bit more than not listing the not-particularly relevant gods. (Wastri, anyone?) This specifically says 'cut out gods that aren't useful for D&D'. This bit is really talking about designing the pantheon and cosmology just for gaming, and cutting anything that goes beyond the adventuring party. It makes for a shallow and insignificant setting. Point of interest: FR is killing off a whole slew of lesser gods and demigods (not just shoving them in the background, but actually setting them on fire and burying the bodies in the cosmology change). Any bets on Chauntea, Eldath and those in that vein getting the axe? And Matt's point, I think, was more 'You can overcomplicate things and have a big pantheon if you want to, but we certainly don't see the point'. [/QUOTE]
