Modern Gods

Psyckosama

First Post
I'm looking for a list of Gods for use in d20 modern. I'd like the more common religions if able, but I'm especially looking for the more amusing ones, such as the Flying Spaghetti Monster, the Invisible Pink Unicorn, the Discordian Eris, and J.R. "Bob" Dobbs of the Church of the SubGenius.

Basic breakdown would be good, but it anyone can find it, or is sick enough to actually state them out more, your insanity would be welcome.

Thanks

I'll start working on a list.

But there a few old gods to include
Neptune for one, every ship in the U.S. Navy has a shrine to Neptune (albiet usually very small ones) somewhere on board. The only ship in the Navy to sail without theirs was the Indianapolis after their evangelically inclined Captain found out and had it thrown overboard. We all remember what happened to the Indy don't we?
 



Gods don't ever get "old". All of the gods worshiped in the past will work quite well in the modern era. For example, I worship my Goddess and the Egyptian god Ptah.

I might suggest creating some new ones though. How about Jimmy Hendrix and Janis Joplin as the God and Goddess of Rock & Roll?
 

Not so much a God but you could base a religion on something that is obviously a work of fiction, such as the Simirilion, and have a group that takes it the literal truth and revers Tolkien as the prophet of the Lost Ages. Just imagine, that book group you join seems normal enough at first, but then...

Along the same lines you could have a group that thinks that Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a fictionalized account of real events and people. Then you get into the schisms that believe Angel is cannonical or just a work of fiction.

Or

Mario - Once the God of Electronic Gaming he now fights to maintain his place

The Clown - God of Fast Food

No doubt embroiled in a holy war with the followers of Elvis the King.

Heck, there's a schism already between young Elvis and old Elvis, thank you, thank you very much. What about Chuck Berry, who stole a song (by way of his cousin Marvin) from some kid named Calvin Klein?

Mustn't forget the upstart King of Pop or even the supposed King of All Media.

Meanwhile all the Queen of Soul wants is R-E-S-P-E-C-T. However the Godfather of Soul wants everyone to get up offa that thing since Papa's got a brand new bag.
 

Oh, yes. How could I forget the feud between the Godfather of Soul and the King of Pop? We all now how that shook out after the Hammer champion and the Godfather fell.
