[QUOTE="Maldin, post: 1950345, member: 27170"] Lord Pendragon: To each his own. There's a reason why multiDM campaigns are very rare. Ya can't get two to agree! ;-) Thats ok. Makes comparing notes more interesting. I must think, however, that you hadn't gotten around to reading my webpage yet. Love it or hate it (and there are many on each side - which is also ok), "mundane" is not an appropriate adjective. Its something I've always liked doing... tying things together that were never meant to be tied together. I must admit complete ignorance of anything Eberron, though. They have an abbreviated outer planar wheel? And yes, I agree that most "facts" known by any fantasy world resident would be (and should be) very incomplete, possibly incorrect, and certainly steeped in propaganda from various religious leaders (and ultimately, gods) and tainted by historical contingency. I like it as a way of explaining why some gods (Powers) are more powerful then others, power that yet may or may not reflect any correlation with numbers of followers. Of course, here we are talking about a multiverse with many gods (some of whom, as BFG says, may actually be "duplicates", ie different avatars or faces of the same god), rather then a very small group like Pendragon's pantheon or (in a few rare examples I know of) monotheistic campaigns. Of course, this may lead to interesting strategies between the followers of rival gods. Got a beef with the god of the forests... burn them down! Defoliate the planet! ;-) I guess that may be why the gods don't let on that they're getting their mojo from some source other then their followers. Followers need to feel important if you want to keep them. Denis, aka "Maldin" ============================= Maldin's Greyhawk [url]http://melkot.com[/url] Check out the ton of other cool Edition-independent stuff on my website, New Spells, Magic Items, Notoriety, Artifacts, Kyuss, secrets of the Twin Cataclysms, the Dreadwood, the cities of Melkot, Greyhawk and Irongate, and much, much more!!
