[QUOTE="timbannock, post: 9391692, member: 17913"] I found it quite easy to excise most of the real-world deity references, at least in FR; haven't revisited Planescape in many years where calling out specific gods mattered, so didn't bother with that yet. The Mulhorandi pantheon is filled with alternate names from Thay, or can be swapped for Greyhawk and 4E deities with ease (Set = Zehir, for instance). Same with the Untheric pantheon, which is almost all decimated anyway. I found mixing in Greyhawk gods actually kinda worked better than I hoped, giving players a sense that gods are wanderers and go where their power is: if several Greyhawk gods were Untheric, well, it stands to reason they'd leave FR for GH when their worshippers dried up after their avatars were quite publicly defeated. Between the sheer number of FR-original and GH deities out there, it's easy to make swaps. (In part because everything you need to know about any of these gods is right there on Wikipedia.) One route is simply "this was an aspect/avatar of..." When I've been at a loss, I'd just mine other original settings like Seas of Vodari. [/QUOTE]
