Message: <blockquote data-quote="Commissar" data-source="post: 7431613" data-attributes="member: 6811422">I'm Greek and I have read a ton of inconsistencies and conflicts in Wikipedia. For example, Hades was included in the 12 Olympians for years, while he isn't. Wikipedia refers to Homeric tradition and Orphism as resources of equal weight as Hesiod's Theogony. Also, it's almost impossible to remember the names and attributes of the Deities without tables that give translations and the Latin equivalents. So, even if you are not Greek you will be able to find the God you want easily; for example, Chronos means Time in Greek. So, if you have trouble remembering a name, you can just refer to him as the God of Time.The majority of the Gods are there as DM tools. For example,I have included the three Fates and the Angels of Death in order to introduce artifacts related to them: Pandora's Box, Thread of Life, the Rod of Death and the Dagger of Fate. The Overgods (Primordials) are forbidden to be mentioned and they serve as Cult Patrons with blood rituals and so on. The Titans are sealed, so they could be a subject to a campaign equivalent to the Rise of Tiamat. Also, the Aspects (e.g. Nemesis) do not have a physical form and tend to consume mortals and dominate them; so, they can be in a thematic insanity table. I have also included Typhon, a creature equivalent to Tarrasque.In short, the majority of Deities are there to be involved in plots, campaigns, artifact backgrounds, legendary places, monsters and the planes.I navigated through your blog and it is very interesting. I will definitely give the book a try when I get paid! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
