This is the best of the AD&D deity books. It contains heroes, monsters and gods from mythology, including Greek, Norse, Aztec, Oriental and Egyptian and others. The monsters, heroes and magical items are valuable for any campaign. It also contains a few pantheons from fantasy books, depending on which edition you have. It is definitely modified to suit a fantasy game, so don't expect lengthy or totally accurate descriptions, but it is very useful as a resource for a game master. ( )
