As a player of Second Edition, Legends and lore is a fairly good resource especially if you use the Player's Option: Skills and Powers and the First Edition Deities and Demi-Gods. Likes: There is a great deal of Information on the various cultures and Mythologies that it draws from, such as the Norse, the Celts and the Hindu. It also features some Spells specific to that Mythology. Next: it give you a new way of looking at Clerics and Priests especially with the Specialty Priests of Specific Deities. It shows that Priests of Odin are really different than Priests of Tyr and why. Dislikes: One of the things it lacks compared to say 1e Deities and Demigods is the Non Human Deities. they could have added them in with little fuss and bother. Also some of their alignment calls really did not fit into the various Mythologies, Like Cu-Culhain wasn't Good by any stretch of the Imagination, Nor was Morrigan Evil either. It also doesn't really explain the particular holydays pf the various deities like Deities and Demigods did. They could have gone along way to improve the use of Priests and divinities in the game but it is what it is. Still if you get a chance to buy Legends and Lore, DO IT! Add it to your D&D library as a valuable resource. Like I said, Using Legends and Lore along with Player's Option: Skills and Powers and 1rst Edition Deities and Demigods will make your campaign POP!Read full review
Takes me right back to my college D&D days. I fondly remember all the art. I got it again partly out of nostalgia and partly as a reference book. It's great to have a list of the important figures from several different mythologies in one place!

I purchased this as a gift for my husband, who also DMs our DnD sessions. This book's history with the HP Lovecraft estate treated like fireside story among the group. I was so excited to find this book in good condition at a price that didn't totally break the bank. I am super satisfied with my purchase!

A hard to find supplement to the first edition of one of my favorite RPGs, fully intact, if more than slightly worn. The book arrived well-protected, and in better condition than I had anticipated from its description.
