This auction is for the TSR AD&D LEGENDS AND LORE Hardcover Resource Book. This is the 5th edition of "Deities and Demigods" and is the first with the name change, but is exactly identical in content to the 4th edition book. The book was printed in 1984. As you can see from the photos, the exterior condition has only a couple edge flaws. The interior is pristine.
Book Info:Legends and Lore is a 144-page hardcover for the first edition Advanced Dungeo...ns & Dragons rules. The fifth edition (sold in this auction was the first after the name change from Dieties and Demigods). The book served to update the material they had earlier included in 1976's Supplement IV: Gods, Demi-Gods & Heroes for the original D&D ruleset. The book presents the game statistics and background information for the gods, heroes, and legendary monsters from different mythologies. This edition covers 12 pantheons of gods from myth and folklore, plus gods for various nonhumans, and four fictional groups: the Arthurian heroes, Fritz Leiber's "Nehwon mythos", and Michael Moorcock's "Melnibonéan mythos". These statistics are presented in a fashion similar to that of the Monster Manual, and the statistics are accompanied by illustrations, as well as a short descriptive piece that details under what circumstances the god will appear, what the god might do if he does appear, and what his responsibilities and penchants may be. The book also details the mythoi of these religions, as well as how their clerics should behave, and describes the known planes of existence and how the afterlife applies to characters. Interior illustrations were submitted by Jeff Dee, Eymoth (Kenneth Rahman), Paul Jaquays, Dave S. LaForce, Jeff Lanners, Erol Otus, Darlene Pekul, Jim Roslof, David C. Sutherland III, and D.A. Trampier.
