This will probably include many gods from Forgotten Realms.In the Greyhawk setting part of the DMG there will be the Greyhawk pantheon. In the Dragonlance book there is a section about the Dragonlance gods. This information is given to players but not in the PHB because the PHB is more setting neutral.One of the things that Chris said when he started talking about the 2024 rules is that they were approached as if it was all one book, that they just had to break it up into sections. At first I didn't really think about some of the problems this might create and once all of the books are out I doubt many of these concerns will still exist. For now however we don't know about passive checks because those are DM centric, we don't know about how a DM can adjust or set different DC's, detailed information about how some checks work. We can't even create our own backgrounds or pick gods from a random list. The reason is they are expecting the DM to be there for a lot of this process. The DM will tell you what gods exist in the world you are playing in and give you that information. The DM will look over backgrounds to see if they make sense for the game world and if you want to make changes to one expect you to run them by them. More information about exploration and social interactions is supposed to be in the DMG. Honestly they should have not staggered the releases like they did or should have at least has a small rules primer ready for when they released the PHB into the wild so that this would not have happened.</blockquote>
