I like gods as monsters.

I really like Jeff Grubb’s Gods of Toricandra (1976 proto-Dragonlance deities) because he essentially took the Chromatic and Platinum dragons from Sup. I and designed a whole pantheon of other super-monsters to go with them. I guess I define most gods similar to what most people would think of as demi-gods. I love the image of Robilar fighting Hextor in Castle Greyhawk. It doesn’t matter to me whether you define Hextor as a Demi-god or a Lesser god.

I had no idea that Grubb was the originator of the Dragonlance Gods. Apparently he was also the originator of Forgotten Realms, though, Ed Greenwood is credited much moreso. Amazing what you discover on these forums.
