[QUOTE="Madnick, post: 6141558, member: 6687273"] Greetings my friends, Since the creation of our personal campaign setting, which is based on the adventures of my dedicated party the last 15 years and many more friends joining from times to times, we came up with an Idea that stayed in our heads for quite some time. But because of its nature I cannot say I can finalize on implementing it or not. Your help will be invaluable. Let me elaborate so you can have a complete image of this question. We decided that instead of using the Pantheon of each and every campaign setting we had been using the past years, to create a new Pantheon that we will be established for all the adventures to come. This Pantheon will be created on the original Mythological Gods all other pantheons we know so far were created. The Norse Gods, the Greek Gods the Egyptian Gods and so on . The idea is to create one God for each alignment plus 3 more for the most used alignments, in total 12 Gods. The deities we are thinking of using are amongst others Thor, Artemis, Loci, Anubis, Odin, Zeus, and plenty more in the pool we have to pick from. The question finally to you is the following. A pantheon for your D&D, Pathfinder game with known Gods from our mythologies will make the playing experience better by using known and closer to your understanding deities, hence you will always remember the portfolio and make it easier to use gods on your campaigns instead of using unknown new gods every time you change a setting, or will it make it alienated because those gods are way to familiar to you hence they have nothing new to offer and it will make the whole idea uninteresting for your taste. Some details I must provide to make you make up your mind is that the story of the Gods is easily combined with the story of the setting, so don’t think that using Mythical gods will create a hole in the settings creation because it is already thought and answered. Plus the obvious answer which of course matters the most is whatever my players think. I do have plenty of parties joining this particular setting and I do value their opinion and counted towards my thoughts on the enquiry, but I feel this community is highly grown and the input on the matter will help me very much by pointing out things I might lost on my thoughts. Thank you in advance fellow gamers Madnick. [/QUOTE]
