The Book of the Righteous

I got this gem the other day after reading a sample chapter found on Green Ronin’s web site. When the Arron Loeb posted some errata here, I asked if they would consider allowing other companies to use the book as their core mythology.

Having read more than the sample chapter I am even more blown away by this astounding piece of mythology. I have always hated the ‘D&D myth’ – demons and devils, genies, angels, gods, elemental lords, ad nauseum. Arron has turned it all into a coherent myth that feels like it could be real. My homebrew myth appears anemic (if I can steal from SHARK) beside this vibrant story.

Do other people feel that there would be a benefit if other d20 companies used the mythology set fourth in Book of the Righteous?

Yes, I would very much like to see TBotR used as thew core gods in a published setting or referred to in other books. I don't think I can stress enough how much I would like this.

 

[Morrus]

Heck, yeah!

I'm one of those poeple who doesn't like the mix-n-match style that is D&D default. Too many powerful beings, too many sources of magic, too many different outerplanar things. I like a simpler, more cohesive approach to it all.

Not yet owning the Book of the Righteous, I am curious, is the book entirely OGC, aside from the customary artwork?

As long as it doesn't affect my gods, I'm happy with you guys changing stuff up for the new core gods.

I really can't answer yet, but I saw this book on the shelf at Waldenbooks tonight and was impressed, it's a big book!

Sorry, Nightfall. But the Righteous Gestapo will of course be confiscating your copy of The Divine and the Defeated. No competing theologies will be permitted.

My gods (BotR) can beat up your gods (Divine and Defeated).

BotR does not fit the Scarred Lands very well. SL is just to differenet a campagin world from the type BotR was created for.

Sure Crothy... You keep thinking that.

And the first guy that touches my copy of Div&Def will find themselves on the wrong end of Vangal's battle-axes. (Not that he's got a right end but you get the idea! )

Your gods are statted, they can be killed.
