No need for this thread to be closed.)To the OP:  Dog Soul's Sahashra and Russiya settings deal with a mythic India and Slavic setting respectfully.  In the case of Sahashra I know there is some relgion supplements in the works that will adress the gods of the setting.  I will point this thread out to the author and see if she can at least give you a list of books to check out.  Are name, alignment, domains, and brief descriptions all you need for a campaign?  That depends.  Mainly it depends on you and your players.  If you want to focus a lot on the intiruges, goals, or power of a church/temple/cult then you are going to need more detail - not about the god so much as the worshippers.  When looking at a culture, any culture, their philosophical and relgious beliefs are an important component of who they are and what they do.  If you want to create a well rounded and detailed world then I would suggest putting some time into developing these things out.  Ditto if you have a player who wants to be a cleric, paladin, etc or even just a devout member of a religion.   One thing you can consider, if you don't want to spend great amounts of time on it, is to ask any player who is interested in such a character to work with you to develop their faith within the confines of the world you have created.  Dont be afraid to make changes to things that dont have a huge impact on the game itself. OTOH, there are pleanty of RPG games that you can play that don't require much more than the basics, if even that.</blockquote>
