[QUOTE="Samloyal23, post: 6426439, member: 21432"] For most of my campaigns, like my current Last Lands Campaign, I stick with actual mythic pantheons but add or subtract such gods as necessary for the setting. So since the city of Valora has a late Renaissance level of develop they need a god mail and delivery services to added to the Greek Pantheon. That is Myrphion, an errant scion of Hermes of my own creation. The older gods, because they are less relevent to the Valorans, have been deposed. So Zeus and his brothers and sister are dead. For my Arathia campaing setting I created a small family of gods: The Allfather (creator of the world), the Dancer (wild god of nature, season, lust, and wine), the Star (wise goddess of the heavens, knowledge, and art), the Measurer (tyrannical god of mathematics, order, and oppression), and Taresseah (the Allfather's ascended mortal wife, goddess of piety and inspiration, mother of the Dancer, Star, and Measurer). To this were added two ascended gods of evil, the Wolflord (a god of werecreatures, murder, and deception), and Balor (god of giants, rape, and greed). Long ago I wrote up a setting called the Land of the 700 Tribes. It was semi-post-apocalyptic, set in a world that had "ended" several times and remnants or ghosts of many lost civilizations, ancient gods, and mutated races filled the land with strange, seemingly random magics and monsters left over from ages gone by. There were small gods all over the place. Every nook and vale had some ancient, alien spirit that had to be appeased but that could also grant you strange though apparently useless powers.
