Welcome Greyhawk aficionados! It's rare day when I have a post that isn't a comic or a quiz. A couple of my colleagues in the Greyhawk community were talking about an all-time athlete list, so it immediately made me wonder if I could reproduce my own
Top 150 Greyhawk Gods List. It was a chore let me tell you. Here is my list's methodology before you tear it apart:
First, all
Suel, Oerid, Flan and
Baklunish deities are just named not labeled because many are considered "common."
Second, I did label the
Olman and
Touv gods because they are less well-known. For those new here, these are the cultures of the
Amedio and
Hepmonaland regions respectively.
Third, I did use a lot of demihuman and monstrous race deities which usually by default count for Greyhawk. Where these are named, I did label the creature type.
Fourth, for brevity's sake I only listed one portfolio item on each deity.
Fifth, I do give more weight to published human Greyhawk gods. That's why even the worst on the list still get mentioned over obscure elven or halfling gods.
Lastly, the ordering of the list is done purely by a combination of my mood and who I think got the most use in publication or fandom. Now let's get on with the list starting with the bottom 100. Enjoy!

Rao not in the top 20? Kelanen ahead of Tritheron? Olidhammara not in the top 10? Beory barely making top 50?!? Scandalous.
Posts like this is why we have blogs.
Anders: Oh man it was such a struggle doing top 20. Rao is cool yes, but really do people make Rao characters much? And Trithereon is my boy, but Kelanen uses two sentient swords come on! But yeah totally subjective, I love the feedback!
