[QUOTE="Ace, post: 8195494, member: 944"] America education often doesn't cover mythology or ancient religions at all in large parts if the country . Back in the day that the DDG was first published it was assumed that any likely D&D player had read Edith Hamilton's Mythology which covered Greece/Rome and the Norse myths. It was sort of an unofficial appendix N book. They are very familiar to most Americans heck still are you see those two in DC and Marvel movie forms but almost none of the others outside of maybe American Gods which is niche. Now in my second game world I just went with bitheism instead of polytheism. Its based very loosely with Christianity and Wicca so just as lazy world building as ripping off Greek and Norse but less to keep track off and no need for temples, event calendars and all that to have a detailed feeling in game religion. When I need something else just throw in a cult with some small Gods or Denomlators or the like and viola. [/QUOTE]
