Well, my conversions aren't according to a strict mathematical formula, but
more of a guesstimate, based on the source material and trying to preserve the
feel. I'll post them as I get them converted from HeroMaker into usuable ASCII
text.

Here's a list of the renamed gods:
Chaos = Zardoz (I never liked a god named Chaos, and Zardoz is a strange
enough movie to qualify)
Adramelech = Adramoloch (basically same name, but Moloch is more recognizable
to our group. One of us has a cabin in the woods with a iron oven named
Moloch. If this explanation makes no sense, check your Bible.)
Seth = Khesek
Mephistopheles = Stophelem (pron. Sto-F-elem)
Lilith = Ashura
Hecate = Catheta
Tiamat = Tiassat
Metatron = Adonai
Tehuti = Temuzi
Dagda = Bran
Manannan = Dylan
Ogma = Aengus
Nuada = Fionn
Mathgen = Cathbad
Morrigan = Scathach
Diancecht = Miach
Lugh = Aed
Yngvi = Taranis
Ull = Oisin
Brigit = Bride
Gywydion = Mabon
Rhiannon = Maeve
Daenn = Ailill
(For the Tuatha, I consulted a Celtic Scholar to help me)
Goibniu = Culann
Dionysius = Dion
Odin = Grimnir
Tyr = Teutas
Mimir = Byrne (because he's the original talking head)
