Message: <blockquote data-quote="J-H" data-source="post: 7927892" data-attributes="member: 7020951">My Castlevania game is set in ~1470s Europe.  The safe areas are marked by crosses, the castle has a chapel area, etc.  There's also a genie, a 2,000 year old mummy lord who has a beef with Ra and wants to blot out the sun, and an Aztec sacrificial dagger in the hands of a death priest.I am a Christian, but this is a game and I am flat out not getting into any justification about how a monotheistic deity can exist and be correct in a world where there are gods who aren't just disguised demons.  It just is all there and it is what it is, and anyone who tries to figure out how it all works is just going to get the Doylist answer of "Because it's fun, and because it's easier than learning all the Faerun stuff."The same will apply to the possible follow-up featuring an avatar of Huitzopochitl and Aztecs invading Spain on air-skiffs powered by still-beating hearts sacrificed to their evil sun hummingbird.So, my favorites for D&D:AztecsEgyptiansIf I had to pick a 3rd, I'd go with some sort of semi-Greek Atlantean set of deities worshipped by the fish-men who inhabit the cursed sunken continent, and who seek to drown the entire world.This is based primarily on familiarity - pretty much everyone knows the Greek, Norse, and Egyptian gods at least somewhat.  I just find the Norse stuff harder to use.</blockquote>
