Book of Devotion: A Compendium of devotees and their Otherworldly Deities
A manual-esque anthology exploring the bonds they form.
About the project
"Book of Devotion", a manual-esque anthology about deities, their devotees, and the lore surrounding them!Book of Devotion is an anthology that explores new types of deities and their respective clerics and paladins. We are looking for SFW works from a variety of visual artists and writers, with a shared passion for fantastical beings. Artists and writers will tightly collaborate in order to produce cohesive new deities with their correspondent clerics and paladins!It is important to note that this anthology does NOT exclusively include nor intends to focus on a Dungeons & Dragons approach to deities and their devotees topic. We are looking for a diverse array of new and original deities from various archetypes, as well as for a number of clerics and paladins at their service who are just as original and diverse as them.For more information, please check our Content Guidelines & General Information and our Application Guide documents.

FAQ
Is this a D&D anthology?
This is NOT a D&D anthology. We are trying to take a step further and distance this anthology from the D&D conception and representation of clerics, paladins and deities. Even if we wanted to, we wouldn't be able to label this as D&D content because of legal reasons. However, we want the contents of this anthology to be open enough for you to be able to use them in any TTRPG you want, D&D included.How can I apply?
