Random Deity Pantheons

Someone (+Joel Priddy) was asking about random god tables, and I suggested the index of Petty Gods. I think I'll test out my hypothesis.

d20 = Pantheon size

Meet the Seven Mysterious Beings, pantheon of the Nowallu tribe of Outer Phrenobia.

The Seven Mysterious Beings

1. Bashiuus - God of wine and merriment, Chaotic (p. 17)
2. Detriax - Goddess of space junk and derelict hope, Chaotic (p. 37)
3. Drasheeng - Goddess of drunken misperception, Chaotic (p. 43)
4. Lady of Rains - Goddess of political corruption and indiscretion, Chaotic (p. 89)
5. Lord Downall - God of drains and floods, Chaotic (p. 94)
6. Nanefesterad - God of false friendship, Chaotic (p. 116)
7. Thwizeviblyz - God of baby laughter, Lawful (p. 170)

Now that's a pantheon that speaks about the culture. Six Chaotic gods and one seemingly minor Lawful god. Then again, perhaps the power of the baby laugh can nullify the power of Chaos.

MY OSR Frankenclone

After reading and playing several OSR clones, I've started to piece together the set of rules I'd like to run with for my generic fantasy games. I feel like Dr. Frankenstein, procuring the best parts from various corpses to make his masterpiece monster. So I present to you ...

MY OSR Frankenclone!

PCs for the Aegean Saltbox

In playtesting my rules for the Aegean Saltbox, I created six characters to run through the random wavecrawl tables, and perhaps The Bad Myrmidon. Perhaps you'd be interested in seeing what the rules produce currently. I decided one of each of Enchanters, Olympian Priests, and Specialists, and three Fighters would be the proper mix.

Let me know what you think, what you like, what doesn't make sense.
