Core Religions in Actual Play

[MatthewJHanson]

Now that we've had the the core religion survivor thread, I'm curious to see what people have actually played. Vote for any deity who you've character (not just clerics and such) worship.

I mostly DM, so I answered on behalf of my players. Pelor and Kord have historically received the most love from them. I don't know why.

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

I have a player doing a great job as a cleric of Garl Glittergold in my Midwood campaign. The religious parables and references to religious works are fantastically goofy, yet plausible in a "is the entire religion a prank on non-believers" sort of way.

 

[Rhun]

At some point over the last 20+ years I have gamed, I have played characters that have worshipped every single one of the gods listed on that list. So, I voted for every one of them.

 

[Greg K]

None of them are used when I DM. I make up my own deities. As for playing, I have never been in a game where they were used.

 

[Dykstrav]

I've played a paladin of Pelor before and a sorcerer that worshipped Wee Jas. When I actually played clerics in Greyhawk, it was usually of Pholtus, Myhriss, or Tharizdun.

Elhonna and Obad-Hai for my Druids

Orbril the MAster of the Grand Circus Maximus is a gnome Alchemist (Scorcerer/Rogue) who sort of honours Elhonna even though his 'capture' and training of animals have put him in conflict with her agents in the past

I also once played a Human Monk who did ritual exercises before sunrise each day to honour Wee Jas

The racial gods, but only because they appear in multiple settings:

Correllon
Moradin
Yondalla
Grummash
Garl Glittergold

 

[(Psi)SeveredHead]

I can't recall the last time I was a PC in Greyhawk.

I did once play a cleric of the Sovereign Host in Eberron; that's the last cleric PC I recall playing. Being a cleric of a whole pantheon rocks (and is a lot less complicated).

 

[Presto2112]

Of the four characters I've played since 2002, only two have actually worsipped gods. One Garl worshipping gnome, a nature-as-abstract revering elf druid, an essentially self-sufficient whisper gnome, and a Moradinian dwarf.
