[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 315209, member: 2067"] BOO-YAH! Added Callarduran's rites and rituals, and designed a few svifneblinish (wow...wierd word...) plot hooks. The blex is the last one I have to do before the next deity comes up. :) As for the Human Deities vs. Ficticious Deities thing...well, I do hope to get around to human deities quickly enough, but they've already got a scad of stuff on them. From Bastion Press's PDF's to real-world books on myth to many, many homebrews. I would want to distinguish by doing them justice in a fantasy world. Also, while I have a 2e Monster Myth book, I'm lacking the 2e Legends and Lore (it was out of print before I started playing), and I haven't seen it offered as a PDF yet. I remember there being a Word document which was 2e Legends and Lore, but I ain't got it no more...:( I'll look for it on the Wizard's site now, but they may have taken it off. The monstrous deities give me more wiggle room, too. I can freely make up pseudo-scientific discussions on them, whereas for the real-world mythos I'm limited more to what actually happened. I hope to get around to some human deities, but I'm going to need a better source on their myths (I've got a modest collection of world myth books, but if anyone can suggest something...), 2e Legends and Lore, and more time to work out the technicalities of them. It will happen eventually (if I keep gettin this much encouragement, anyway. ;)), but they're going to need more preperation than the monstrous deities. Anyhoo, I do take suggestions for deities (that's how the Blex was done), so feel free to suggest it to me. If I get a lot of suggestions for real-world guys, I may end up doing them a bit early, after testing the waters with the ones I can feel free to abuse and elaborate as I please. Basically, for stuff like Callarduran, I can pull rites and rituals and temples and dogma outta my pooter, but I'd need a better scholarly perpective on, say, Finnish myth, before I could try and tackle that in game terms. There may be some Finnish Myth Buff who calls my stuff absolute bunk because it didn't take into account some obscure practice of some god or another. I'm sure some of that's unavoidable, but I would like to know what I'm talking about before I start babbling. So, yeah, it'll be done, but those will be the next-to-last. Right before I start accepting fan submissions and get money from Natural 20 press to publish all of these in print. ;) On the bright side: This is mostly fluff! HAHAHAHA! A*hem. Better now. I'm going to stop babbling and get back to thinking of a witty subject line for the announcement to the General forums that this has been updated...hehehe. [/QUOTE]
