Best RL Pantheon?

Set it in an American high school, and it’s a winner. Parker Lewis Can’t Lose approaches that, at times.

Wow. You really dated yourself with that reference.

I remember that show as well.

Eat now?

IIRC, it replaced Tracey Ullman in the lineup.

Besides that, I'd rate Mesopotamian gods because I get a more exotic feeling out of their stories than the more widely known other pantheons, especially the greek/roman stories which I know since childhood. I'd really like a Mesopotamian-inspired setting.

Just for you:

The PHB includes several Pantheons from real life. Celt, Egyptian, Greek, Viking.

And remember only extinct/ancient pantheons please just to avoid arguements.

Why does everyone forget that the Norse pantheon (mostly Thor and Odin) are still worshipped in Iceland? (Not by a whole lot of people, but not extinct, either.)

That said, my favorite is... you guessed it, the Norse Pantheon!

It's not on Prime here. Go figure. Only watched Season 1.

I liked it enough to want to buy the DVD/BluRay set but, given that it's pushing $500.00 Canadian, I don't think so.

It's because they're revivals and they've essentially invented the modern form.

D&D is fairly safe using them.

There's also revivals of Roman and other ancient religions as well.

On second thought...not an American HS, an American ”party” state college!

Kube’s “Eat now?” line becomes Thor’s “Drink now?” as he looks for various frat parties.

Steiner has a scholarship in the physics department...where he fits in with the other “dwarves”. Mikey jams on the quad. Lewis goes poli-sci.

Lemmer becomes more Loki-ish.

The whole tale of how Utgar-Loki outwitted Thor, Loki and Thialfi with the illusion cloaked feats could make for a hell of a frat party/Spring Break weekend or similar school celebration tale.

Iceland is barely on the radar of most Americans. Bjork and Reykjavik if you’re lucky.
