History: OD&D to AD&D 1st edition

[SuStel]

These rules are as important to the game as defining the racial limits of characters or defining when characters stop receiving hit dice. You don't have to use the rules, but they're what defines AD&D.

Meh. I don't see what the big deal is about characters worshipping pagan deities.

It certainly reflects Gary's view, which he has restated time and time again, even recently, but I don't think that Deities & Demigods adds any realism or verisimilitude to the game.

I fail to see how your reply relates to my statement which you quoted.

DDG isn't meant to add verisimilitude to the game. It's meant to add deities to a game that makes great use of them.

Quite right!
