Drama's Devilish Dungeon Delve! (Polling The Players)

[DRAMA]

That's a lot of damn domains.

I'll give that tool a try, because I know how much of a pain in the ass it is to come up with names.

~Edit~
On second thought, that tool didn't really help me. I can point you in the direction of a good random name generator.

http://www.behindthename.com/

The generator I listed wasn't and isn't supposed to make everything for you. If you generate lists of ten at a time, it will come up with stuff like "This god of animals is..." and will continue on, so that's easy to plug into the Animal Domain. The "Behind the Name" site is good, but it's not made for fantasy/fictional names, they're all names that are of people or deities that people have/do follow. However, it is a great resource that people should have bookmarked for all those occasions where you have everything for a character save for a name.

Thanks for sharing that. Now, on to skimming my huge text file of already saved deities.

Thanks Tako! I appreciate the help! As you'll see in the updated post, I've added the descriptions to the pantheon. I'll be working on alignments, portfolios, modifying spell lists to my tastes, and most importantly names. I'll get to working on the next round of questions in a day or so. I need to look up some items to make sure I'm able to use them. And please make sure you all have some sort of PDF reader. My list of house rules (and potentially everything concerning this game) will be distributed in .pdf format.


EDIT: Deities are up and listed.

[DoctorRed]

1)
I kind of like the Dunestalker stuff, but I could go for any of these, even if it were just regions where they were all seperate areas.

2)
I'm pretty indifferent mostly, but bigger would be neater. :3

3
This could be anything for me.

4)
Fuck yeah,  I welcome this.

5)
Yus.

6)
Meh, I don't care.

Super pumped~

[Schafflyne]

1. Rather than choosing a single theme, I think all should be included at some point.

2. Larger than Earth. Wanna' get those strange continents in.

3. I was thinking tech could be on a very high level, minus electricity. If not, medium high would be fine with me.

4. Sure. Dino-Rider does sound like a title. XD

5. No reason not to, really. I'm fine with it.

6. If it'll enrich the experience, why not?

Earth Sized or slightly smaller would work for me.

Question 3:
Medium to High

DEATH TO THE MIND FLAYERS!!! I welcome them since it'd give me a valid reason to play a Psionic character. :lol:
