New gods

[Malwing]

The Cleric class presents a problem for me. Out of all the classes the Cleric is the one that's hard to use in a homebrew setting because of the list of gods are very Golarian-specific. When I first GMed Pathfinder I just let the Golarian gods be 'universal'. This led to a lot of false assumptions on the campaign world and when I wanted to GM a situation where gods were relevant I made my own gods. This was an exhasting task that I do not wish to do with every game since I have to decide on the weapons and balance out the domains and subdomains that can be together and make sure that enough domains and subdomains are available to make for versatile options. As it stands it takes several extra hours each time I make a new game.

Are there any 3pp out there that is just a list of generic gods along with favored weapons, domains, and subdomains?

Yes there are. 30 seconds of searching d20pfsrd.com will give them to you.

Or if you're homebrewing your own world you could homebrew your own gods as well.

[Purple Duck Games]

Gods of Porphyra/The Open God Project springs immediately to mind. These gods are quite interconnected with each other.

They are on the d20pfsrd.com as well.

For more generic gods there are the ones found in The Book of Divine Magic

That what we (Purple Duck Games/4 Winds Fantasy Gaming) has published.

The Empyreal Lords and Archfiends can make a pretty good set of gods that aren't as strongly tied to Golarion as the big 20, and won't be as familiar to your average Pathfinder player.

There unfortunately has not been a decent deities book out since Deities and Demigods for 3.0.

[Little Red Goblin Games]

We had a deity toolbox for epic level gameplay in Legendary Levels: Bestiary.

I think the fact that it had Egyptian, Greek, and Norse god profiles was the most appealing part of that product.

Looking at the OGC I think I'm going to make a bunch of gods based on Tarot trumps and the four suits and make them semi universal for all my campaigns. I'm giving them generic names like 'The Fool' and 'The Gambler' and just name swap when I start a new campaign.

Well, hopefully Inner Sea Gods will change that, although if you are expecting stats, you will be disappointed.

[Freehold DM]

NICE BOOK!

[brvheart]

I have to agree Malwing. I would like to see a Pathfinder update having the original version with Cthulhu and Melbonian deities.

[Kthulhu]

Paizo has been loath to do any fluff/flavor/setting material outside of Golarion thus far.

Also, you've got stats for Cthulhu already. And information to make a Cthulhu cleric has existed for quite a while.
