That sounds awesome!
The campaign I am dealing with is a "Greek" arrogant god that is the first son of the Supreme God (of that pantheon) of Divine Right. So, the first son should be rightfully in ascension according to the father. But the supreme god is balking at that idea.
Luckily, I'm just a Norse priest and don't get involved in those greasy Mediterranean negro politics, haha.
Although Ragnarok has already occurred. All my gods are dead, except one rose from the ashes like a phoenix, who I now worship. (Monotheism Norse, haha!)
It's a bizarre campaign.
E: Oh, critical point, so the son of the "supreme god" decided he is just going to conquer everything on the Prime Material Plane. His current focus is the ref's "Earth world," which we are on. The final adventure is to try and thwart him temporarily.
E2: One last funny: one player worships the "supreme god." I mock him whenever ideology comes up because his god is a fraud about "divine right." We should be working for the evil first son according to his crappy dumb "god."
I like strange storylines.....it really sums up D&D in my opinion......I dislike cookie cutter stories....they feel bland...
The over-50 ref I play with has been running campaigns since he was about ten. His world almost has as much in-depth background as Tolkien.
E: And so when he refers to XYZ NPC and I say, "Who the fuck is that?" He goes, "I told you many times about this person." I go, "You told me many times about one thousand other NPCs as well."
