Help find humorous science fiction book - gods and aliens?

This was posted on reddit, and it sounds familiar. I’d like to know what it is, if anyone here can figure it out (note, I’m not the original poster of the question, but I’ll take suggestions to that thread and come back with answers).

It sounds horribly familiar to me, but I don’t know if it’s because it’s a mishmash of various plots (Pratchett has a scene where the gods are playing a board game with the races of the Disc) or if I read it. I am reaching out to others that are voracious scifi consumers as well.

The Pratchett scene is from Interesting Times. Just because I feel you’d want to know. :wink:

Thank you. I suspected it was, but didn’t want to misspeak.

It sounds Alan Dean Foster-y to me.
