Every god in D&D...ever

The good folks at www.planewalker.com have posted a very interesting new item, a gods list with every deity ever published in the D&D game (every deity with enough information to use, anyway). Spanning over 150 pages of information, this has every god you could ever recall from the history of the game in one easy-to-use, alphabetical file. Check it out!

*bump for quality*

Alz has outdone himself with this. It's a serious piece of work, and I cannot speak highly enough of it. In fact I've already gotten some use out of it.

sweet. I'll know that I'll be getting some use out of it!

Nice, but not yet quite complete. I see there is no listing for Crom or Asura, both of the Hyborea mythos, from Gods, Demi-Gods & Heroes for OD&D.

I didn't expect this debate to come up quite so soon, about DDG&H, but I was expecting it.

I initially didn't have a copy of the book when I turned it over to the planewalker people to submit. I've since perused a friend's copy.

I'm of two minds about the book. While it's technically covering the gods directly, there's a severe dearth of information. Alignments aren't given at all (I'm pretty sure they'd been added to the game by that time). Although differences are made between gods and demigods, that's the only distinction in divine levels. I'm still not quite sure how to classify, in terms of rank, a power that's just listed as a "god", since on the one hand we know it's more than a demigod, but not how much more. Finally, the only delineation of portfolio is the title some gods have...some don't, meaning we don't know what they're god of.

I'm still somewhat tempted to go back and add those gods in, but the lack of substantive information is somewhat vexing...I may update it soon though, since I don't plan on letting this ever get outdated.

We'll probably keep it updated as Al gets us more information on the gods - so expect updates as time passes.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to be a pain. I've just been hoping for this info for a long while. Unfortunately, G,D-G&H is more like a Monster Manual than a DDG.

Whatever, thanks for the hard work.

Well, as Clueless said, this will be updated constantly. Case in point, I just updated the file with the info from DDG&H and sent it to her about ten minutes ago. Hopefully, she'll get it up there fast (she's the one responsible for making this available on the site and in PDF form. Thanks Clueless!), and you'll be able to get it by this time tomorrow, if not earlier!
