Description

Publisher's blurb:

This is an all-purpose generator for gods in fantasy role-playing games. I wanted to avoid making tables to roll on just for the fun of rolling on them, and instead put the emphasis on allowing for as wide a variety of deities as possible while quickly providing details that are actually useful in running a game and which give the gods and religion an interesting and unique role to play in a campaign.

While I’ve seen similar generators before, they tend to have a different focus–either providing so little that they put the GM in a position of making up the memorable details of the deity from whole cloth, or they provide so many details that the generator becomes its own lonely game, bogging the GM down in minutiae that doesn’t really see utility at the table and providing mismatched results that have to be ignored in order for the god or faith to be interesting. In both cases, the same thing occurs–you make one or two gods, then get bored.

I aimed for a generator that worked like the best character generation systems: providing options but also inspiration at each step, making the user not only eager to create new creatures but to see how they will work in the game world.

I also included a tool for making specific spells and abilities that match a god's specific domain.

I put the first 5 gods I invented using the generator at the end.
