I played a few times in college but it never really took. Still,

( What D&D Character Am I? )

Question--do D&D games typically refer to real gods in their games? I didn't recognize the one in athanasios ' example (btw, thanks for the quiz! :)), but the one they gave me is a genuine Finnish goddess, at least in name and general description.

Yet another hymn...

Sublime Dionysos, source of pleasure,
irresistible god of sensation. .
In drops of sweet red wine on mortal tongues,
in rhythm so strong our hearts beat in time,
in bliss with no thought of consequence,
in these we feel you, son of Semele.
Dionysos, deep well of ecstasy,
swiftly-moving impulse and languid grace,
your gift the sheer plunge of transformation,
we thank you for knowledge gained in madness,
for seeing through wild eyes, for ripped-raw nerves.
Dionysos, we praise and honor you.
