Do you thing the story line would be good and where is a Belgariad RPG web site? the uber-deities of good and evil are sick of each other and wish to be rid of each other.

My own view is that the Belgariad would be terrible campaign.
It would be subject to all the criticisim that is normally levelled at FR: the NPCs are simply too powerful and overshadow the PCs. And if they don't, then you're looking at tremendously overpowered PCs. Neither situation provides the basis for a long-term campaign.
Also, the story of that world has pretty much been covered by the ten books.
If you really want to adapt a world from a novel, why not try Raymond Feist's Midkemia? After all, that started as a game world and seems to have a lot of backstory that would explain a number of interesting sites etc.... Also, while the NPCs are powerful, they're not "off the scale" compared to high level PCs.
