Deities & Demigods (1e)
 |
 |
Das erste Hardcover-Kompendium von TSR über die verschiedenen Gottheiten und Halbgötter der Ad&d-Welt. Neben den irdischen Mythen wie griechischer¸ keltischer¸ finnischer oder japanischer Mythos finden sich auch der Newhon-mythos (Lankhmar) und die Götter der non-human Deities (z.B. der Riesen¸ der Zwerge¸ Orks usw.). Nettes Randwissen: die erste Version von 1980 enthielt Beschreibungen zu den Mythen Cthulhu und Melnibonean - die jedoch 1981 aus rechtlichen Gründen entfernt wurden.
Despite the changed title and covers¸ the contents are identical. Presumably¸ naming the volume Legends & Lore would be less likely to upset all the concerned mothers out there.
The very earliest edition of the DDG had the Cthulhu and Melnibonean (Elric) gods¸ but these were pulled from later printings due to trademark problems. Those editions command a high price today.
(THE) DEITIES & DEMIGODS CYCLOPEDIA PROVIDES THE DUNGEON MASTER WITH GODS¸ HEROES AND MONSTERS FROM MYTH¸ FICTION AND LEGEND FOR USE IN ROUNDING OUT AN ADVANCED D&D CAMPAIGN. WITHIN THIS BOOK ARE SEVENTEEN PANTHEONS OF DIVINITIES¸ EACH PROFUSELY ILLUSTRATED. ALSO INCLUDED ARE NEW MATERIAL ON CLERICS CONDUCT AND THEIR RELATIONSHIPS WITH THEIR DEITIES¸ INFORMATION ON CHARACTER MORTALITY AND IMMORTALITY¸ AND MORE!
