Curious if anyone has ever done anything similar under OGL. Thanks.

Um, are you aware of the Judges Guild supplement The Unknown Gods?

Part of the problem might be that many of the topics would be under potential copyright by others -- I'm thinking of Conan, Elric, and the like. Of course, anyone could create stats and such for gods of actual mythology because no one would own those rights.
The other problem might be that the SRD is mostly Player's Handbook type stuff. I don't know if any deities material is actually designated open content.
However, I do know that Jim Ward has done a book for C&C that deals with gods and such, but I don't think it's an actual clone of the original. I haven't looked at it, but I suspect it's all new material.

The C&C one isn't a clone of the original. In many ways, it's superior (his treatment of the Celtic mythos is far superior). In others, not so much (he gets a lot very wrong--naming Ganesha as the Hindu god of business, for example). His treatment of Native American religion is excellent. It obviously doesn't have Elric, Conan, or the Cthulhu Mythos in it, but a lot of the other stuff is there. It's worth the buy as a generic deity book by the same guy that wrote Gods, Demigods & Heroes.

Um, are you aware of the Judges Guild supplement The Unknown Gods? It's in the same style as "Gods, Demigods & Heroes" but covers a pantheon created by judges guild, it isn't a replacement. |
