Build Religious Characters with Depth

Create a confident zealot that feels real enough to roleplay.

If you've listened to our last episode, you heard us create a system to create unique gods and religions. Well, now it's time to apply that to your incredible character! We combine our culture creator and our character planner and show you how flipping fun it is to create characters that have a lot to them and their beliefs, without studying manuals of lore or spending months creating your own.

Character creation is always a blast, but there's not a lot of space on the character sheet for including all that great godly stuff. And it should all be conceived of together! So we go to the Strategy Stateroom, where we each create a deity, a religion, and a character from the ground up. One is a seafaring survivor that respects and fears the goddess of the oceans, the other a struggling small-town citizen that received a gift that changed their life forever.

Then we jump over to Grandma B's Schoolhouse to discuss some fascinating religious offshoots that really exist, to showcase how many offshoots of religion can exist, with one little difference of opinion. If you want to find the resources to create all of this on your own, check out our resources on the website, specifically the Culture Creator and the Character Planner.
