[QUOTE="tzor, post: 1464353, member: 12826"] I tend to run Lankhmar type campaigns which place a different importance on evil deities than would be normally true in most common scenarios. Since the deities of Nehwon are generally located in the same place (godsland) the evil deities are usefull in giving neutural deities an occasional evil idea. Here the gods are less in war with each other than in trying to promote their own portfolios, they get in each other's way. But in general, demons and devils don't get worshipers. They get those will serve and those who will use, but rarely do they form a cause in their own right, as would be the case of an evil deity. One could say a similiar argument for good deities and celestials, but in the case of good there is a general cooperation between the inhabitants of good planes and the deities of the good planes. In the case of evil, neither would give each other the time of day. They become like oil and vinegar and only a good shake will ever get them together. [/QUOTE]
