Quick Update on Polyhedral Pantheons

The April A-Z Blog Challenge is proving to be a great way to encourage me to work on Polyhedral Pantheons. I have completed drafts of all deities of the Goblin Pantheon and the Elemental Tetratheon. The Halfling Pantheon is hardly started, but I should be able to get back to that one soon.

Reviewing against the book outline I wrote:

• Introduction drafted
• Process (Crunch-Oriented) drafted, retitled ‘Creating the Pantheon’
  • Glossary (point, face, edge, node) drafted, likely to move
  • Choosing Polyhedron added, one paragraph per polyhedron
  • Domain Allocation random table
    • Subdomains included in domain table for reference, but not rolled
    • Hybrid Domains out of scope
    • Exalted Domains out of scope
• World Building added, explains briefly how to expand on base material in stages from low-detail to increasingly higher detail
  • First Pass: Simple Description Round out summary information (chosen weapon if not yet known, symbol)
  • Second Pass: Setting Information Provide basic setting information: theme, shrines and holy grounds, prayers, followers, manifestations
  • Third Pass: Fine Details Expands on information previously created. To be rewritten
• Fleshing Things Out (Fluff-Oriented) Replaced by Worldbuilding
  • Portfolios
  • Portfolio vs. Domain
  • Alternate Channeling
  • Adapting Paladin Codes
  • Religious Dress
• Polyhedral Examination Reduced to section in ‘Creating the Pantheon’. Might expand on in appendix, haven’t decided.
  • d12, d20 Dual
  • d6, d8 Dual
  • d4
  • d10, 2d10
  • Alternate d8 (d10-style)
• Sample Pantheons in progress; will take only to second pass
  • Halfling Pantheon First pass complete, one deity second pass, lots to go
  • Goblin Pantheon All deities second pass complete, some introductory material
    • Hilljack Deities
    • Jhesiri Deities
    • Kouzelnik Deities
  • Samoora Pantheon First pass complete
  • Lords and Ladies of the Everwood All deities second pass complete, some introductory material
  • Elemental Tetratheon All deities second pass complete
    • Fire Deities of the Elemental Tetratheon
    • Earth Deities of the Elemental Tetratheon
    • Air Deities of the Elemental Tetratheon
    • Water Deities of the Elemental Tetratheon
• Appendices List of appendices to be revised, might be reduced to ‘helpful references’ page
  • Worksheets May or may not include, already available as free/PWYW product
  • Domain Lists (with sources) Likely to be dropped; domain table in first chapter, subdomains are manually selected to fit, not planning to delve into hybrid domains or exalted domains
    • Domains
    • Subdomains
    • Hybrid Domains
    • Exalted Domains
