D&D 5E (2014) Norse Mythos & Others in 5E

[Magistus71]

I remembering reading somewhere that you shouldn't stat a god, because once you do, your players will try and kill it.

 

[Parmandur]

I'd buy an Egypt or Greece based setting product: bit they'd have to do more than Wikipedia level coverage (maybe combine setting stuff with adventure material...).

 

[The Myopic Sniper]

I would second Parmandur's recommedation. I would rather have a big book of Norseness... gods, religion, weapons, setting, new monsters, new magic, habits, culture, heroes, subclasses, classes, backgrounds, feats and everything else that might get a campaign going and then one for ancient Greek, Roman and Egyptian based cultures more than just another deities and demigods type product. I am not looking for something historically accurate, just a different way to run a whole campaign or cherry pick the bits I like. My guess is we aren't going to get either that or a new "here are thirteen pantheons" book either, but I am not sure why anyone would simply stick a bunch of unrelated pantheons in one book other than tradition. YMMV.

Something like this , but updated for 5e?

Yeah, for sure. Maybe something that combined that with the features of the Starter Set (level 1-7 adventure based in Greek mythos, gazeeter like material...).

Since Mearls likes to mention Catan, my copy of Settlers is actually Egypt themed: little sphinxes and pyramids, with a Nile valley board. A D&D Egypt box would be awesome.
