[QUOTE="Draksila, post: 4844320, member: 31376"] While they weren't very good as more than beer and pretzel books, the Avatar Trilogy of Forgotten Realms books did one thing; they sold me on Torm. After reading Tantras and seeing the God of Duty and Loyalty portrayed as a gentle, grandfatherly, and forgiving figure who would still give his life in battle to defend his cause, I could honestly see myself as a follower of his doctrines in that setting. As a DM, two of my favorite gods are old-school Bane (Forgotten Realms) and Set from the Egyptian pantheon. Set in particular is amusing to use, as for a dark god brimming with nefarious plots he's actually rather considerate and protective of his actual worshippers. It has thrown off my players before to face evil clerics who love their god rather than fear him. In regards to real world pantheons, I studied Norse and Greek heavily as a child and dabbled in Egyptian. Frankly, though, I don't have a favorite deity... I am partial to the Norse pantheon's myths, though. [/QUOTE]
