Have you ever seen the Warhammer 40k lore? The stuff to do with the 'warp' and the 'eye of terror' where all the force of chaos (demons) live, could be adapted to your story.

What if the things hunting the God's down are something more tangeble? Their 'dark-sides' could be Demon-opposites. One cannot survive without the other but their 'dark-twins' always want the opposite to them. Caught in the middle are humans.

Anyway, check out the 40k stuff and see if it helps you any.

Thanks! I'll do this. I'm having a great time reading the Night's Dawn trilogy, which has some aspect of lost souls terrorizing the human race, and there's a similar thread of "demons" vs. opposites.

I think, though, that I want to be careful not to fall too far into medieval fantasy (heck, that's what ALL RPGs are about-- well, almost all). These "gods" aren't really gods, they're, to paraphrase one of Arthur C. Clarke's rules, so advanced they're nearly indistinguishable from magic.

But it would be cool to try to tap more of our ancient lore, kind of explaining why things are.
