[QUOTE="Henadic Theologian, post: 9401743, member: 7030526"] Your over stating my point back then, I wasn't offended, it wasn't insulting, I just didn't think CE fit the mythology perfectly, but I recognize the complexity of the mythology and that Hecate does have alot of dark imagery so it's fine, just a bit of a missed opportunity. Honestly not listing alignment for Gods, real or imagined works better anyways because it opens up interesting opportunities intriguing heresies, like a CG Gnostic interruption of Shar, like is she really evil or does she really just want to liberate folks from the source of suffering which is matter to experience perfect union and peace in Henosis with Shar. Any "evil" she does is in service to a higher good. I keep pointing out they've set before themselves a fools errand, mythology from religions is just too baked into D&D so this just comes off sloppy and half arsed, a job the Pagan community never asked them to do in the first place. I mean I know plenty of pagans who are huge fans of Disney's Hecules, even though it takes alot of liberties with Greek Mythology, I mean alot. And a new live action version is coming. And of God of War series which is the most offensive main stream media towards the Gods IMHO, and no boycott or pagan protest at all. What is WotC going to do next year when they do the MtG Marvel set, just skip Thor? Have Disney lose their **** or just call him Generic God of Thunder RR3 Legendary Creature Alien God?, no their sometimes rule will go right out the windows, because it'll interfere in their profit making just like it did with Hades, Arheron, Tartus, Olympus, Elysium, etc..., there is zero logic consistancy to any of it.
