[QUOTE="Scurvy_Platypus, post: 5347227, member: 43283"] Howdy folks, a slightly odd question. I wasn't quite sure where to put this, so if it gets bumped to another section I understand. What I'm look for is a generic Pantheon that's available to use as a base. Allow me to explain... I'm working on a fantasy OGL SRD project and as usual the issue of gods/dieties pops up. I personally don't really have an interest in trying to remake a whole pantheon and while I could just play the "think up another name for this diety" game, I'd like to skip that as well. Yes, I could look at one of the various real-world pantheons kicking around and try recycling that into the SRD/game, but again there's a level of work there that I'd like to avoid if possible. What would be ideal is if there was a pantheon put together in the standard fantasy fashion, but generic/neutral. The sort of thing where I could basically yank the names and maybe the relationships, plug them into the appropriate sections, and then move on. Does that make sense? I do get that a pantheon says something about the way the world works. I'm not really interested in world-building the setting here, just wanting a framework that I can hang the cleric rules/powers/abilities onto and if someone wants to use it, fine; otherwise they can easily replace it with their own homebrew or pet pantheon. It's one of the reasons I'd prefer to skip using a real-world pantheon too, since all I need is something more on the vague side than specifc. As I said, this is an OGL thing, so what I'm hoping for is to be pointed to a lovely OGL product that I can then butcher-and-cite. [/QUOTE]
