first commenced oh ADVANCED DUNGEONS &DRAGONSTW Fantasy Adventure Game,one particular aspect of:!fantasy role playing was foremost in my mind:there was either a general neglect of deities or else an even worse use byabuse.That is,game masters tended to ignore deities which were supposedly served and worshiped by characters in thecampaign,or else they had gods popping up at the slightest whim of player characters in order to rescue them from periloussituations,grant wishes,and generally step-and-fetch.Obviously,there is a broad ground between these two extremes,andthat is squarely where I desired AD&D to go.As the various manuscripts were being written,I informed both James Ward andRob Kuntz of the direction which the overall work was to take and then followed up with draft copies of the manuscripts.Thus,both authors were well-appraised of the form and content of AD&D.Their work,the DEITTIES &DEMIGODSTM cyclopedia,re-flects the fact that they not only were kept abreast of the game as it developed,but that they also adhered to the conceptswhich were instrumental in making AD&D what it is.DEITIES &DEMIGODS is an indispensable part of the whole of AD&D.Donot fall into the error of regarding it asa supplement.It is integral to Dungeon Masteringa true AD&D campaign.Experiencedplayers will immediately concur with this evaluation,for they already know how important alignment is,how necessary thedeity is to the cleric,and how interaction of the various alignments depends upon the entities which lead them.Those readersnot well-grounded in ongoing campaigns must take my word for all this,although they will soon discover for themselves howcrucial the deities of the campaign milieu are.  \nIn general,deities are presented in pantheons.You can select which ones,combinations,or parts of pantheons best suit yourcampaign.Players knowing which gods are \"real\"in the campaign world are able to intelligently choose to serve one(ormore)suitable to the character's alignment,profession,and even goals.Included are major,minor,and almost-gods(demi-gods).There are also a few \"divine\"monsters and magic items herein.These are creatures and devices so connected tomythology that this work was the only place to properly present them.Not included are those minions of Evil found inMONSTER MANUAL and the attendant volumes forthcoming.Diabolical and demoniac deities are important to the campaignmilieu.Without Evil,what does Good have to strive against?It is no great matter to extract these beings from the other worksand include them amongst the other deities,however.  \nThe format used to present the beings in DEITIES &DEMIGODS was actually developed through close consultation with my-self.It was chosen for clarity and completeness of information,The reader can extract basic information quickly,just byglancing at the statistics pertaining to the being in question.Greater detail is then presented in the explanatory paragraphswhich follow the initial data.It is worth commenting that the strength and powers of t","cbCaihjkeQGiHMjN","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihjkeQGiHMjN","pdf",15287338,135,"English","# Contents\n## Preface\n##
