  • With the Core Twenty out of the way, it's time to get into the weeds of the myriad other gods in the Pathfinder setting. Besmara, goddess of piracy, is up first, because I've loved pirates ever since I watched Treasure Island as a five-year-old. The Pirate Queen is a fearsome foe, and answers to no authority but her own. Her followers are the scourge of the seas, but seek out adventure like moths to a flame.

    Sir, I can't believe you have read about Kelpie`s Wrath but decided not to mention how much it enjoys some big chests and booty. Kelpie`s Wrath is known to provide services for mortals in exchange for generous payment in treasure. It is also known to lower its prices if “arrangements are made for mortals to perform carnal acts on its decks”. Delightful creature!

    I am on session 3 of a campaign I will share here for anyone who can use. While this is kind of a linking plot, the idea is that Besmara raided all 8 other planes, raiding 8 Gods realms, and sizing treasures. She then split a silver piece into 8 pieces, each piece having an inscription to the god and realm.I have them give building minor powers a la the relic rules, but to die with a piece means ending up in the realm, and you may be pursued if rezzed. Besmara is said to reward whoever gathers all the pieces of 8, and as such having a piece both gives status among pirates and puts a target on you. Somehow when found by non pirates they find their way back. Pick 8 gods you like, I picked our red mantis friend for Boneyard and a horseman for Abaddon, as well as of coursr Asmodeus and abaddar. If you use this use it in good health.

    Gotta say thank you man. I'm doing a 1928/Lovecraft homebrew. Your Deities vids are a great help while I give them the American gods treatment.

      You are very welcome. Making these videos has been a blast. A 1928-era campaign sounds like a blast. I'd love to hear what you've done to adapt and update the gods.

      As cool as that would be, I seriously doubt it. Her areas of interest have almost no overlap with the members of the PR. If anyone is being added to the PR, my guess is Nocticula.

      Falayna is very cool. I'd love to do a video, but I'm not sure there's enough lore to work with. If the audience has interest in a shorter video format, I could experiment with something new. Let me know what you think.

    Curious: are you running S&S in traditional 1E or did you adapt it for 2E.

      We ran book 1, book 2 and Plunder & Peril in 1e. Then we took a year off because we had a kid. Now that we're picking it back up, we're making the jump into a 2e conversion.
