A twelve sided die has 12 faces, 30 edges, and 20 verticies.
+Let’s start by creating a domain / portfolio / aspect for each face. +These are gonna be our “Major Twelve” gods, the Olympians.
+Second, each vertex will get a domain. These will become our “Minor +Twenty” gods. Lesser gods, local gods, demigods.
+Okay so each god, major and minor, gets their own domain, and then +their neighbors. That’s neighboring faces for points (four total), and +neighboring points for faces (six total).
+In order for any of that to make sense, you need to stare really hard +at Polyhedral Pantheon Design top and Polyhedral Pantheon +Design bottom at http://www.kjd-imc.org/blog/polyhedral-pantheons-revisited/

Okay let’s fill out the templates.
+Note: I discovered at this point that it’s best to shuffle your list +of domains lest your domains be thematically clumped. For example, when +brainstroming, I wrote out all my elemental domains at once. This +resulted in a god of fire, water, earth, and water. So spread your +domains out thematically if you’re doing this.
+By the way, every god is merely an aspect of the god-above-all-gods, +PATRICK.
+The major gods:
+| ID | +Name | +PRIMARY DOMAIN | +SECONDARY DOMAINS | +
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | +Unutrik | +Law | +Trickery, Metal, Fertility, Water, Change | +
| 2 | +Dutrik | +Magic | +Trickery, Change, Creation, Earth, Weather | +
| 3 | +Tritrik | +Healing | +Trickery, Metal, Creation, Destruction, Fire | +
| 4 | +Kvartrik | +Chaos | +Metal, Fertility, Fire, Madness, Storms | +
| 5 | +Kvintrik | +Life | +Fertility, Water, Storms, Courage, Wealth | +
| 6 | +Sestrik | +Death | +Water, Change, Wealth, Air, Weather | +
| 7 | +Septrik | +Plants | +Strength, Protection, Destruction, Fire, Madness | +
| 8 | +Oktrik | +Dreams | +Creation, Destruction, Weather, Wisdom, Strength | +
| 9 | +Nautrik | +Time | +Wisdom, Pain, Air, Earth, Weather | +
| 10 | +Dektrik | +Sun | +Travel, Pain, Courage, Wealth, Air | +
| 11 | +Eltrik | +Animals | +Protection, Travel, Madness, Storms, Courage | +
| 12 | +Dotrik | +Moon | +Wisdom, Strength, Protection, Travel, Pain | +
AND the minor gods:
+| ID | +NAME | +PRIMARY DOMAIN | +SECONDARY DOMAINS | +
|---|---|---|---|
| A | +Aatrik | +Trickery | +Law, Magic, Healing | +
| B | +Batrik | +Metal | +Law, Healing, Chaos | +
| C | +Catrik | +Fertility | +Law, Chaos, Life | +
| D | +Datrik | +Water | +Law, Life, Death | +
| E | +Eatrik | +Change | +Law, Magic, Death | +
| F | +Fatrik | +Creation | +Magic, Healing, Dreams | +
| G | +Gatrik | +Destruction | +Healing, Plants, Dreams | +
| H | +Hatrik | +Fire | +Healing, Chaos, Plants | +
| I | +Iatrik | +Madness | +Chaos, Plants, Animals | +
| J | +Jatrik | +Storms | +Chaos, Life, Animals | +
| K | +Katrik | +Courage | +Life, Animals, Sun | +
| L | +Latrik | +Wealth | +Life, Death, Sun | +
| M | +Matrik | +Air | +Death, Time, Sun | +
| N | +Natrik | +Earth | +Magic, Death, Time | +
| O | +Oatrik | +Weather | +Magic, Dreams, Time | +
| P | +Patrik | +Wisdom | +Dreams, Time, Moon | +
| Q | +Qatrik | +Strength | +Plants, Dreams, Moon | +
| R | +Ratrik | +Protection | +Plants, Animals, Moon | +
| S | +Satrik | +Travel | +Sun, Animals, Moon | +
| T | +Tatrik | +Pain | +Time, Sun, Moon | +
So now I have d20 minor gods, and d12 major gods. Neat!
+A lot of things here just work when you look at them. The +god of madness and chaos? The god of life and fertility? Others are +interesting. The god of Law and Trickery? The god of Healing and +Destruction? Nautrik is the god of Time and Wisdom, but also of Time and +Pain.
+I imagine none of these gods will use actual names, but will instead +remain rather loosely conceptual, going by an epithet when it is +neccessary to refer to them.
+I also admit that this is all a little bit over the top. Do I really +need 32 gods in my little make believe game? No, I do not. But now I can +have some readymade, weird, jumbled portfolios that I can draw on when I +want to, all of which are random and jumbled enough that they ought to +be quite interesting.
