Hi, our GM decided to draw a comic based on our campaign. Setting is homebrew, but Golarion deities (PF2) remain. He intends to put it out on some platform. Can deities names remain? If not can slightly changed but recognizable deities names be used? For instance Seranrea instead of Sarenrae?
If he is planning on making money with it, no that would not be allowed. Oblique references would be ok (like “goddess of the sun and redemption”).
If he isn’t planning on using it to make money, then the Community Use Policy would have him covered. Look it up for more details.
I think as long as it's not monetized you're okay.
Here are the Community Use Guidelines for you.
If it is a monetized platform it would not be acceptable to use the names, or even slightly altered names I believe (I'm not a lawyer so I'm not authoritative). You can as mentioned by the above poster make references like "Goddess of Sun and Redemption".

When Critical Role published their Tal'dorei Setting Guide, they had to change the names of the gods for it. While they use mostly D&D gods, the setting does feature Saranrae (because their campaign used to be a PF campaign) they got away with referring to her as The Everlight. So using pseudonyms might be the way to go.
