Hey Chris,
I’m trying to build a homebrew world and I’m struggling with creating a pantheon of deities for it. Do you have any suggestions on how to approach this? Do you think its reasonable that the party uncovers new deities as they explore?
If you’re in a hurry, you can scrub the names off an existing pantheon and start there. You can also identify some key ideas that work for your campaign, start small, and expand over time. For example, your world might have only two gods (a deity of light and a deity of darkness), or a small group tied to the elements (god of wind and storms, god of the earth, god of the sea, and god of fire).Comment from discussion AMA with Chris Perkins (Today at 10:30 AM PST).
