I found this discussion quite interesting on the first few pages, but it digressed quickly into the pointless quote-by-paragraph style. If I ever go down to invent a new setting, I'll think more carefully about whehter I even want evil gods or have the evil opposition be Archfiends and demons and the like. And if I decide I want gods and archfiends, I'll define a meaningful distinction between what being a God means and what being a Fiend is, and whether there is a power level difference. Maybe God and Fiends are basically just classes (or races?) of supernatural being that have some different rules, but can achieve similar power. The important thing would be to have meaningful differences, like, say whether an Archfiend of Murder and a God of Murder make a difference.</blockquote>
