Who wrote the original Deities and Demigods from TSR?

[Sonofapreacherman]

Who wrote the original Deities and Demigods from TSR? Was it Gary or was the book parceled out to a host of writers? In particular I'm trying to find out who originally created Kurtulmak, the god of kobolds. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Well, can't speak for Deities & Demigods, but Gods, Demi-Gods & Heroes (OD&D, 1976) was written by Robert Kuntz & James Ward.

 

[Fate Lawson]

And these are the same fellows who are credited with writing Dieties & Demigods, but in those early days the Col. reviewed everything, and I suspect Kurtulmak originated in Greyhawk

i'll just agree with Wombat and Fate Lawson.

James Ward and Rob Kuntz AFAIK

edit: P.S. i still blame everything on you Sonofapreacherman over on the WotC boards.

One of Rob Kuntz's several important contributions to the game

Thanks for the help everyone.

I'm sure I did something wrong. This wouldn't be fireball related would it?
