D&D/Pathfinder Outer-Planar Cosmology Head-Canons

[goto124]

Not even the "Good" gods really care about their people - it's just a game to them. (Remember this next time you're marching hundreds of dudes to their deaths in an RTS).

I like to imagine gods as developers of a computer game. It makes it a lot easier to understand the way they act, and gives plenty of room for fleshing out many different personalities.

Heck, change 'computer game' to 'tabletop game with way too many co-DMs'.

The other interpretation is of gods being essentially rulers of countries, but that's harder for me to get into the headspace of

I don't like the idea of mortals actually being able to ascend to true deityhood - That would be like one of your NPC minis in a D&D game suddenly getting up and sitting to play at the table with you.

More like a player joining your game and saying 'oh hey I wanna play this NPC!'
