Every god in D&D...ever

[Truth Seeker]

That's not so bad. I've counted a little over 1100 gods so far (it was 1126, but I was manually counting, so I'm not sure that's correct), which means evil has less than one-third, so all's well (though I'm not counting the deities with no alignment listed).

I haven't started on the revised list. Gotta to prepare my printer for the long haul...again

WOW. This is a great list. And it's gonna be useful for crossovers.

Thanks, planewalkers!

No prob at all! Keep a watch out - we're working on a searchable version here soon.

hey, are the demon lords included (before i go and look again)?

 

[Alzrius]

Only if they were listed as actual gods somewhere. For example, demon lords like Orcus, Demogorgon, Baphomet, Kostchtie, and Yeenoghu all have entries as gods, so they're in there. Others, like Graz'zt, are not.

thank you.

Note that Druaga is the same as Ahriman (this is arguable, since they're described completely differently, but they're the same historically). Kwannon is the same as Kuan Yin. Fire is the same as Hastsezini.

For Druaga/Ahriman and Fire/Hastsezini, I don't recall any text distinctly suggesting that they're the same being (this is, after all, D&D and not the real world). But for Kwannon/Kuan Yin, I recall having to think about that one a little.

Basically, in the event that two gods might be the same deity, but there's no direct alias given, I just try and ask myself if it's reasonable to assume two deities may be the same divine entity. Usually, unless almost all of their information (e.g. alignment) is very similar (if not the same) and their flavor text strongly reads the same, I play if safe and list them as separate gods.

Examples of this are all over the place. Odin and Woden for one, and many deities from the Sumerian and Babylonian pantheons, such as Ishtar and Inanna. While the real-world history is that these were different names for the same deities, D&D has established that these are similar but different gods. This sometimes results in in-game history between said deities being given to explain the similarities better.

New updates to the gods list! This takes into account Dragon
magazines #133 and #153. The latter only had two listings for deities already on
there (Asclepius and Hestia), but the former had several new Roman deities.
A few errors were also fixed. Enjoy!

New update! This latest update takes into account Weapons of Legacy and Stormwrack. The former only has another entry for Shevarash, but the latter (in addition to referencing several existing deities) adds two new gods.
