    Sup /tg/.

    Please help me flesh out a particular portion of my setting. Imagine, if you would...

    In 2012 civilization is destroyed. It doesn't really matter how, all that is important is that the majority of humanity is wiped out, and the survivors are basically clan-oriented cave dwellers. Fast forward 1500 years. Humanity, like the proverbial, and forgotten, phoenix, has risen from the ashes. It's basically the 1850s, again, and archeologists are beginning to discover the most wonderful relics of a past civilization. Namely, ours.

    Now, being archeologists, they of course get everything wrong. The ball is completely dropped and they basically just "Make Shit Up" about what life was like. Which brings me to my request. It's decided that the denizens of "The World Before" was a pantheistic theocracy. Priests of the many gods ruled our society.

    Help me come up with humorous gods of the modern times. For example:

    "Tesla, God of Lightning"
    "Darwin: Creator of Man" (The monkeys were an early alpha)
    "Murphey: God of ill luck"
    "moot: Lord of Evil and Chaos"
    "Shakesplato: The Philosopher-Playwrite"
    "Clinton: Lord of Prosperity and Philandering"


    What more can you guys think of?

    Many ancient records tell the tall of one mysterious figure, Teodor or the Rose Velt. They say the great warrior-king brought destruction to all who opposed him with his mighty club. Not only did he rule the glorious kingdom of man and routinely engage in sports and battle to keep his godly skills in peak condition, but when no further challengers approached, he went forth on a great journey to the wide plains beyond the sea. There did he challenge all the beasts of the world. And when he had beat them soundly their blood did flow out and look as a field of roses upon the land. Finally, seeing no further match for his greatness, he challenged death itself. In order to offer a fair fight, he allowed death to attack him in his sleep. Though the fight was so mighty is cleaved a great channel in the south lands, the great king was finally overwhelmed. Still, recognizing a worthy opponent, he now sits at the right hand of death and doles out the touch of his club to all those too stubborn to die. So say the learned men.

    Still fleshing things out. The PCs are going to be Archeologists, or bodyguards or something, trying to make their way to a rumored dig-site deep in the North Eastern forests of Bigapple. Along the way they have to deal with cultists who have adopted the former gods as their own, a rival archeological dig team, and other minor disasters. I haven't decided the ultimate goal though. I might just finish with them uncovering the legendary statue of Lady Liberty, who with her torch, protected the harbor of Bigapple from The Monsters of Clover Fields.

    It is said, that there was a deity made up of all who were, connected by the inner network, all that was not put forth in public was drawn to that place, and from its collective thought was born the Anon. We say The Anon because it is easyer then trying to explain what we have learne about it. It was a ficle collective, it hated with the force of a thousand suns, yet at other times it would deliver what was saught. As all were a part of it, none could truely claim innocence. It had a list of laws, not rules to follow, but facts about reality itself, things man was most likely not meant to know. When so many parished long ago, it dispersed back into the souls of humanity. And if ever humanity should be so closely connected again, yet so false in their dealings without hiding behind a mask, Anon may well do to us what it did to the people of that time.

    This place is a message… and part of a system of messages… pay attention to it!

    Sending this message was important to us. We considered ourselves to be a powerful culture.

    This place is not a place of honor…no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here… nothing valued is here.

    What is here is dangerous and repulsive to us. This message is a warning about danger.

    The danger is in a particular location… it increases toward a center… the center of danger is here… of a particular size and shape, and below us.

    The danger is still present, in your time, as it was in ours.

    The danger is to the body, and it can kill.

    The form of the danger is an emanation of energy.

    The danger is unleashed only if you substantially disturb this place physically. This place is best shunned and left uninhabited.
