[QUOTE="VelvetViolet, post: 6193017, member: 6686357"] There are a number of mythological afterlives/pantheons that could be focused around: (some have been condensed due to occupying similar space) Amerindian (Great Plains, etc) -- this is where the Happy Hunting Grounds comes from, includes deities like Coyote and Raven, unexplored territory Celtic (Irish, Gallic, Welsh) -- includes the Tuatha De Danann and Arthurian mythos Chinese -- Celestial Bureaucracy, plus the idea of hell as a place of purification rather than torment Egyptian -- no explanation needed Greco-Roman -- no explanation needed Indian -- this isn't explored very often, and has an interesting comparison with Zoroastrianism in the Ahura/Deva conflict Japanese -- unexplored territory Mesoamerican (Aztec, Maya) -- unexplored territory Mesopotamian (Arabian, Babylonian, Canaanite, Zoroastrian) -- unexplored territory (aside from Tiamat and Bahamut, who don't even resemble their original myths), also the precursor to Abrahamic faiths Norse -- no explanation needed Slavic -- unexplored territory South American (Inca) -- unexplored territory West African/Caribbean (Yoruban, Voodoo) -- unexplored territory What would be really great is if there was already some OGC books about the real-world pantheons, like what Scion did. EDIT: Okay, Bastion Press' [I]Lore of the Gods[/I] has all OGC text for the Greek, Egyptian, Norse and Mesopotamian pantheons, which is great. And I found a Celtic pantheon [URL="http://dcrouzet.chez-alice.fr/gaming/d20downloads.htm"]netbook[/URL]. [/QUOTE]
