[QUOTE="Edgar Ironpelt, post: 9543591, member: 32075"] My world building tends to have two or three Primal Beings, and then a selection of lesser (but still potentially very powerful) gods who are often ascended mortals. Or in one case, the magic sword of one of the Primal Beings. (Starfire: The Ace of Swords, treated as a peer by the major deities of the world.) What the gods are really like "under the hood" is important because it sets possibilities and limits on the various things the inhabitants of a world believe about the gods. That's the important player-facing bit. My gaming "white whale" is a Dawn of Creation campaign where the PCs are the eldest deities at the beginning of their careers. At the start there is Earth and Sky, a sapling World Tree, and the PCs. Everything else must be created by the PCs. [I]Everything[/I] else. Sun, Moon, Stars? To be created by the PCs. Fire and Water? To be created by the PCs. Mountains, rivers, seas, plants (other than the World Tree), animals, people... Up to the PCs to create. First level characters, but with some extreme powers & abilities, probably, mostly, of the expendable, can only use once, variety. [/QUOTE]
