[QUOTE="Rogerd1, post: 8504118, member: 7030973"] Like you I would throw them all in as separate planes with their own gods and afterlives. Some may be solar system sized, others galactic clusters, e.g. Esper Genesis. Though to be honest, I brainstormed how to do gods and incorporeal beings for a combined setting. And essentially came to putting stuff into categories. Aeons: They are incorporeal beings with vast magical powers. While in spirit form they are an intangible ball of light. As such many take on avatars when assuming physical form such that they resemble known gods from various mythologies. [LIST] [*]Mystical Entities (DnD: Gods & Goddesses + Redux) [*]Mystara Immortals [*]Star Trek Organians [*]Stargate Ascended [/LIST] Archons (Empyrean - think Olympians from Clash of the Titans): They are mortals who have been elevated to a form of godhood in some way. The usual method is either by consuming the Apples of Immortality, or Ambrosia, such that they possess golden ichor for blood. Once transformed, they become god-like and take on properties of their divine domain. All are powerful beings that possessed immense amounts of magic. Each dwells in a separate planes (El World – demi-planes, think Immortal Nicolas Flamel novels), many of which are connected. In a way, they embody the metaphysical principles manifested in their divine domains. It was just made things a lot easier at this point. This then allows me to have some kind of higher beings, kind of like Moorcocks / DC Lords of Order & Chaos. [/QUOTE]
