[QUOTE="haakon1, post: 7397744, member: 25619"] Cool. Not that anyone asked, but: (a) I agree with you on a mostly neutral world, with NPC's with their own agendas. (b) I try to act neutral about the gods. In general, I think some gods are cooler than others, but if a PC is into a god, I'll look deeper and see what's interesting about that god, which is often a lot. I see the appeal of Fharlanghn, Rao, Heimdall, and others. And understanding what makes a PC's god "tick" is helpful to DMing. (c) But my secret favored god is St. Cuthbert. I loved the Dragon adventure about going to 1980's London and St. Cuthbert being the actual English ancient saint. So in my campaign (a Greyhawk campaign), not only is that true, but, St. Cuthbert's power as a D&D god is because of actual God . . . so Cuthbertinism is the one "true" religion in my campaign world. The others are lesser gods, or maybe saints, or devils . . . don't know, don't really care anymore than the average peasant does. But St. Cuthbert is the real deal . . . and once, a real "miracle" in the campaign world happened by his intersession . . . the players aren't on to me yet, I think, but NPC's far and wide know the story and are often impressed by the PC cleric of the Saint who was granted the miracle.
