[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 5568390, member: 326"] Hello there dark_mage! :) Excellent - glad you like it. I can sort of understand him not wanting to reimagine Tiamat. Didn't I tell you. ;) That book is tremendous. Not bad at all. In one of my books somewhere I mention that each Pantheon has a Godslayer (Intermediate Level) a Cosmic Afterbirth/Dragon (Greater Deity) and a Pantheon Destroyer (Elder God). For the Mesopotamian Gods these clearly translate to Kingu, Tiamat and Apsu. True but often there is a lot of cross pantheon deities (such as the gods of Canaan and Mesopotamia). The main overall alignment trend of any Pantheon is always the same as its Figurehead. In this case the LN Anu. Pantheons of the Megaverse. :) I think using them as simply Epic PCs/NPCs is the best way. Most heroes have a journey and who is to say how far along that journey they are when 'we' encounter them. When I'm building a Pantheon I usually try to set it up so that there are 9 Intermediate Deities (one of each alignment) and 9 Lesser deities (one of each alignment). The Godslayer, Cosmic Afterbirth and Pantheon Destroyer are not counted as part of the Pantheon itself. So planning out the evil deities first you probably want: Anshar & Druaga = LE Ereshkigal & Nergal = NE I'll have to hunt out my notes again to see who I had for the Chaotic Evil positions. The key for this Pantheon is the Anu - Enlil - Marduk relationship. Which is why I like the Pantheons of the Megaverse versions. [/QUOTE]
