Message: <blockquote data-quote="Voadam" data-source="post: 182389" data-attributes="member: 2209">For the greyhawk ToT, there are a bunch of options, 1st there is Vecna, in the adventure Vecna Lives, he becomes a greater god and blocks out all other gods except Iuz who is already on Oerth. This could be modified so that they can only enter as avatars and those who are killed lose their connection to Oerth.Option 2, RttTEE releases Tharizdun who regains evil overpower status and banishes gods to Oerth for their presumption in imprisoning him. The gods squabble and fight and he personally hunts them down (ala Gord the Rogue) until he is overcome, (perhaps banishing the gods and hunting them down overtaxes his newly regained uber god power and he can be overcome by heroic 14th to 18th level adventurers<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> or maybe just lots of concerted god avatars and circle of eight) Once he is reimprisoned, killed or whatever the surviving gods go back to ruling their cosmology in drastically reduced numbers.Option 3 Ravenloft envelops Oerth, only some prayers to specific gods are answered anymore, are they actually there (risking entering the mists to aid their followers) or is it just evil simulacra of the dark powers.Option 4, Cosmic cycle comes around and 1e deities and demigods chinese killer of the gods thins the overpopulated herd.Option 5 divine war, Hextor and Heironius gather their celestial armies lawfully invoke pacts made with ally deities and duke it out en masse, Everybody gets pulled in.Option 6 Divine assassinations, Go Pyremius! He's out for more than fire now, he wants it all. Starts out with gods dying mysteriously, obfuscation abounds, perhaps rival pantheons get blamed and Divine wars start out leading to greater divine massacres. And all to cover the nefarious activities of one ambitious deity. I found the ToT books disappointing, the different authors under the same pseudonym really bugged me particularly because cyric changes personality completely from one author to the next. I liked the 2e hardcover descriptions and I found the ToT background information in Faiths and avatars, Powers and Pantheons, and Demihuman deities great.I would have loved a similar 2e treatment of all the Greyhawk gods as the FR supplements.Rose Estes really treated Greyhawk pretty shabbily, Iuz, the descent into the depths of the earth and Lolth's death in one paragraph, etc.And yes Iggwilv is Iuz's mom not Baba Yaga.</blockquote>
