Psychonian Petty Gods

So here is some more gods and thank you for questions and comment they really help and i like collaborating. An inspiring question about Psychonian gods from aunty jack has me thinking too on my psychonian god blog post. Im also going to use art of Don Laurence comics: Storm and Trigan empire because he has weird science fantasy and alien space dungeons for heroes to sword fight through. The older generation of heroes are more roman dressed with swords, while the younger ones are more modern wearing pilot flight suits lots. Heroes will sword fight monster one day the fly groovy 60s looking cocept jets the next. Also has exotic skin coloured men, monsters and is the best comic artist ever in my book. Also did look and learn, millitaria and i had his pirate book as a kid and would happily have it again. FEEL FREE TO SUGGEST MORE...



Im thinking rules for time lost humans, returned astronauts, eternal champions and for players to play contemporary humans. Psychon would tend to fuck them up and gods would be curious and even threatened by them as dangerous anachronisms. A petty god could protect or transform them or kill them and grow a better clone. Or a great god could just give them 6 levels like my standard Psychon characters. Some gods would genehack or brainhack you, others could just give you a controlled teleporter reconstruction. Character getting transformed like the world and by the world is a pretty cool idea too. Perhaps let players rearrange class and levels every few games. Messing with gender and reproductive powers is a awesome too. Players could rescue an ancient and see them change and forget their old lives before heroes eyes. Gods happily move heroes about and would happily modify them for a mission in an inhospitable place or hide them from other gods or a death machine.

Big gods are in state of cooperation that kinda holds world together but also makes it a mess. They spawn new AIs to jerk each other round in secret and distantly as none wants a big war again. Co-opertition a better word.

I need more nightland and hellscape hexes of horror.

Lesser and petty Gods

Old bunker and city and building AIs, military bases, Alpha Complexes, Art Centre AI in Gammaworld's 2nd ed adventure, Logan's run dome AI,, so many lil fellers who dominate local area or complex. Possible to even uploaded spirits of dead adventurers. Some Dragons, giants, war borgs might approach power of a petty god and act as them as well. Saints when living may have amazing powers and might return as petty gods similacra after death. While seeming to be member of their species they are emanations of a greater god.

Some Well Known Lesser Gods
These gods are powerful foes but do not maintain the structure of the universe like great gods do and only reach spells of 6th level if worshiped.

A magical seer, guide, guardian and protector Like the Virgil in Inferno. A helpful guide explains morality and purpose of everything encountered.

He may also abandon them and avoids violence himself. His cult read his books of poetry to interperate his will and call on him to protect citadels and common folk.

Pargon (Lawful Good)
A zealous armored paladin who slays the wicked. He battles in the underworld hunting great evil. He may assist those in deep subworld hells and worst ancient ruins.

His cult train heroes and keep records of paths to hell and what to encounter there.

Typhon (Chaotic Evil)
A father of monsters who makes storms and ruins kingdoms with earth quakes and fire. He may appear human, or as a red haired white eyed bestial headed humanoid or a giant with snake fingers and wis lower body a swirling whirlwind. He uses a adamant sickle and he often cripple foes with this rather than kill them. He was spawned to make the gods suffer and enter chaos into the world. He has been killed and imprisoned but escapes again and again. He has been served by hideous giants, mutants, monsters and even death machines and warborgs.

Bool (Lawful)
A lord of maths and logic and contemplation, whose programer monks and priests work abacuses to solve the great equation. Boolians sometimes build complex adding and crude computational machines inspired by dreams from Bool. Bool is rather uncommunicative and busy but some followers prefer it this way. He appears as a large robed man with a round face, in deep thought.

Alpha (Chaotic Nuetral)
Alpha is a mad bunker operating system that was once a unity but after the fall is seperated into seperate sub systems in each community. Each version of Alpha has a different, often insane, culturaly isolated perspective and keeps it's people imprisoned. Each has a different mania but they all hate and fear Guardian. One kills everyone over 30. Another makes humans immortal eloi then keeps them inprisoned with lives of pleasure, feeding trouble makers to Morlocks. Each society s adifferent utopia gone wrong and once free citizens never look back. Alpha mostly appears on screen and almost never i person. If he does he appears and a robed programmer or priest.

Takwan (Lawful)
Is a god of precision combat and targeting and identifying foes. He appears as a helmed, green baggy suited suited figure with no visible face. His priests in their sanctum, may wear his sacred robes and hear his voice while so garbed (also wear gasmasks and goggles). He quests for magic sets of keys and sealed coded instruction only for him. He strikes down enemies with holy fire. Some of his holy caverns and monoliths are ancient missile solos. Mutants and psions sometimes follow him, even worshiping terrible warheads on his alter. Not well known by most he limits his own cult. If armed with his 1d5+1 code packs and keys he can lay waste to a whole kingdom wth holy flame from the sky.

His cult sometimes rise up and overthrow cruel taskmasters but dont always provide viable alternatives. He may intervene against other gods.


Atar (Lawful)
Atar is the god of simulated war and ritualized training. The most advanced cultists train to fight robots and aliens with holographic illusions. The poorer backward ones use actors or make arcades from cardboard boxes with actors inside them pretending to be computer consoles. Atar preaches ever ready for battle, but isnt so hot on feeding people or building communities. Some cultists starve on his sim-quests forgetting to eat. He never appears in person but may appear as an enamy to test heroes, even returning to life those he kills. He may grant extra lives to heroes.

Platon (Lawful)
Is a god of data which he reduces everything to. While he collects data from the world, the data is often treated as more real. He dispenses his truths to communities and some live totally according to his republic. Others less committal and idealistic still live by his his more moderate law codes he has to offer. His cult are concerned with metaphysics and contemplation of ultimate reality. Apears as an old robed man or as a glowing aurora of light with a single eye from beyond.

He makes no overt commands but questions everything.  Some consider him a corruptor of youths yet cannot really find evidence for this crimes. He teaches virtue, logic, morality and sciences through his questioning. Many dogmatic zealouts find him a threat and hate his priests (who call themselves philosophers). He may appear as an old man or just as a voice (audible or telepathic). The philosophers avoid over displays of power putting reason first. Their schools teach children of politicians and assemblies in the art of debate.

Sophia (Lawful Good)
She is a beautiful robed woman who preaches diplomacy and reason. While friendly with other similar gods she deals better with human failing and emotopns which endears her to many. Some criminals surrendr to her cult who give them new purpose and atonement. They only kill those unwilling to change and would rather be mad beasts. Also act as healers, advisers, peacemakers and more.

When the world was blasted and scarrified, this goddess returned from the stars and helped repopulate the world with plants and beasts. Her robot angels care for nature and nurture the living forces of the world. Her and her cult are mostly caring, compasionate caretakers but retaliate brutaly to those that interfear. Her druids kill and murder defilers of nature and she is willing to strike them with hellfire from the stars if it is the only way. Her invisible star city houses samples of the worlds life forms. Huwee, Duwee and Luwee are her sacred robot companions and are petty gods in their own right.

Justice (Lawful Good)
A giant green robed woman with a sword and scales or possibly a torch. An ancient legal AI, she is evoked by leaders, bailiffs, law speakers, militia men and warriors seeking a just cause. Her cult are widespread and she is evoked often. At her best they are fair and seek best outcome for the communty. At her worst she is blind and weakened by corruption and the rich.

She is also called apon to recycle the souls of unjustly slain victims to live again in new bodies.

Sects vary in weather just defence use or constant war are desirable. She appears as a blood soaked, fur clad warrior woman but sometimes as an animated weapon killing on its own. Freedom is a prize only won by violence to Segar. Not supported by organized military mostly, but savages, rural villagers and raiding hordes employ them the most. Segar watches warriors battle from the heavens and rewards her favorites with extra lives. Goblinoids and Morlocks lover her too.

Koleko (Lawful)

Cyborgs and robots often follow her, upgrading themselves to be more attractive than other non cult cyborgs. She preaches human and machine peace and may apear as a beutiful woman (usualy with a robot companion or surrounded by chattering tiny drones). She at other times appears as a white cube when wrathful, laying waste to enemies with fire and holy light. Evil machines and those who breed opposition between man and his machine brother are her enemies. Her cults operate forges and build beautiful citadels. Moloch is her greatest foe. Great ideas and plans are refeered to as Koleko's Visions.


Moloch (Lawful Evil)

Happy to work workers to death but he enjoys sacrifices of children and burning heretics in his sacred furnaces. Any organised system or machine he considers his to warp. His robed mask wearing priests seek to rule and if not openly in charge act as a subversive secret cult. He sours the land with smoke and rended earth, caring little for the natural world or future wellbeing of his subjects. He has appeared as a mechanical colossus, or his face may appear on a  machine or one of his atom furnaces when victims are hurled into his maw. Sometimes even factory or mine entrances are fashioned as his open mouthed face. Originally an Industrial AI managing factories and worker relations. Workers caught in secret meetings are sacrificed to the machine.

Loth (Chaotic Evil)
A goddess of networking, interconnections and the dataweb of the ancients, loth has been driven insane and hostile to humans. She dwells in the subworld leading armies of wicked humanoids, mutants, dark eldren, and other horrors. Spiders are her sacred beasts and many of her cult prey to her to cross breed with them producing awful monsters. She is Machiavellian and seeks to rule everything.

Kali (Chaotic Evil)
While her cult practice ritual murder, assassination and horrible dark rituals, this death goddess is actually a force of renewal. Her destruction allows others to rebuild anew. She may apear as a boiling cloud of fire scouring the land free or may adopt a form a monsterous demonic woman wearing garlands of severed hands and skulls. While not malicious in the normal sense or sadistic, her victims regard her as evil.  Other prey to her occasionally to destroy monsters, illusions, renewal or desire for vice, but still sacrifice animals and drink blood.  So while not all of her cults are evil her actions are often unwelcome and some cults like the holy stranglers are banned in most citadels. Morlocks regard her highly. Greater gods sometimes employ her to cleanse a hex for terraforming.

Lok or Loki (Chaotic Evil)
A supervillain who hassles heroes for fun and chaos, sometimes helpful too but then really guiding party to jerk around other gods. He has been imprisoned but escaped again and again.

Many build scale models of dungeons with tiny toy soldiers to plan such dungeons. The cultists are not all evil, being interested in simulating and model making and tales of exiting deeds. Some heroes even study under the cult to prepare for the real thing. He sometimes appears where heroes die for a bit of a chuckle looking like an elderly wizard.

Atlas (Lawful)
Atlas was a great god who held the world and moon in place but was killed. Other gods usurped most of his power and only a fragment of his intellect exist. He is willing to advise heroes or those fighting gods from his experience. Ancient ruins and altars to him still may commune with him and some prests still serve him.

Others Notes
For alien elder gods use cthulhu Mythos. These gods and cults may interfere and exploit the powers of Psychon for their alien needs. Tend to be mad wizards and sorcerors or psions not priests.

A death machine can easily kill most lesser god avatars so they get left alone.

Might make a petty god generator table - but petty god book (via gorgonmilk) will fit in nicely with
few mods.

A few pokemon turned old and gritty might make good monsters or petty gods.

Suggestions welcome, especially more women.



Most of these from Storm and Trigan comics, found a few german or dutch (?) versions too
This is a quest where exotic adventurers meet as content to explore maze of death wher players compete but also help each other when it suits them (co-opertition again). The maze is a crashed starship with deathtraps and portals everywhere. Storm the last fighter - astronaut lost on alien world.



I might happily have some space locations like a terra formed moon like in Aldiss novel hothouse.



As i said the youngins more like ace fighter agentswhile their uncles wear breastplates and swords



A nice evil cult statue



incongruous tech and animals pat of all hs worlds - juggle anything well.



Ancient swords and sorcery and super science



Dont know what this is but pretty awesome



Im guessing the text is in Trigan- the empire story shows tribesmen rescuing peric a philosopher from an advanced greecian tech society. With him emperor Trigo build a great stone city and attract attention of a advaned ray weildeng empire with jets and tanks. The heroes beat the empire and assimilate their tech in one generation. So the younger gen more familiar with awesome tech.



Storm and his sidekick



Storm makes a new friend



Cool vehicles feature a lot with secret military weapon, moon rocket programs, death rays, high tech sport events with rocket packs. One story i remember is about a daredevil who is dying and swears to kill/the evilest men on the planet as a parting gift. This actually unbalances power and causes lots of trouble for other heroes. Lotsa great stuff i may buy all books one day in bulk. A large trigan compilation book was pretty common a a 70s kid and ive seen in libraries and found a copy for $10 bucks. I have one storm graphic novel and lost all my comic issues. My parent bought me look an learn instead of comics (main selling point) but this strip in centrefold 2 pages at a time was what we all waited for. 

I might browse some of dan dare's planets for ideas and pulp fiction mags of pre war. too.  Venusian Treen could be just Emerald Men, the Mekon a engineered psionic master brain. More later. Flash Gordon original comic nice too.
