I don't know who Shelyn is but I love their lil gay bird

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Shelyn is the Golarion goddess of art, beauty, and love. Basically the most wholesome being imaginable. She also has two girlfriends: Desna, goddess of stars, travel, and luck, and Sarenrae, goddess of the sun, healing, and redemption.

I don't think this only applies to novice GMs.

My artistic creation is a homebrew setting without such a boring, vanilla, pantheon of gods

I find the many pantheons of the pathfinder universe to be pretty diverse and well thought out personally. Much more dynamic and interesting than the forgotten realms pantheon.

I'm personally just not a fan of the reskinned Greek Pantheon approach to deities in fantasy. It leaves little room for the sort of stories about religion that I find interesting. I much prefer an Ebberon style approach where religion is unconfirmed and ambiguous. It allows for things like other structures of religion beyond Greek-style polytheism, such as monotheism, animism, dualism, etc.

IDK what LO: Gods and Magic 44-55 means but I love how it makes this read like a biblical quote

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Gods and Magic is a Pathfinder Setting book that came out for D&D 3.5, so I think it means "Gods and Magic, pages 44-45".

not sure about LO

LO is Lost Omens, which is the Pathfinder setting.

Thanks, that was bugging me!

I'm citing the Pathfinder book Lost Omens: Gods and Magic, pages 44-45. I suppose it does make it kind of read like a bible quote.
