Started a pathfinder game shortly after the playtest came out, and loved the system. The campaign started using the pathfinder pantheon but my own created world, after a great start (and me picking up the campaign setting book) I want to move my game to the campaign setting. Luckily several of the many nations in my game draw from the same cloth the creators used for pathfinder. One country is viking/dwarf influenced another venerates the dead and the past much like the Osiria, etc. The party is currently traveling in hell via an evil spellcaster's plot (prophecy said he could not kill them didn't say he could teleport them to hell). I think I'm going to explain it as they were mortals from Azlant before Azlant gained uber-power immortal status, and their plan to get out of hell (travel up the river Styx and ask Pharsma for help since they didn't technically die) backfires when Pharsma agrees to give them a rebrith only after thousands of years when fate deems it. My big problem is that one of the orginal players is a cleric of Gorum, who wasn't technically around. My explanation is that the current Gorum is the divine ghost of the Gorum she worships (she is the "I kill stuff player" and not the "I roleplay stuff player" so she won't notice), and that the fresh and blood Gorum died fighting Rovagug. This, to me fills cluncky and generally bad (why don't the old deities remember old Gorum). The only struck in stone things are, they are stuck in hell (Asomdeaous's hell) , they were sent their by a evil spellcaster who is trying to become a living deity, and I want to use the pathfinder campaign setting.
Any and all ideas would be helpful.
Thanks.
