"Go to the sign of Marvel's Axe, a dubious inn on the edge of the Thieves Quarter, in the City of Greyhawk, and look to your own wrist. If you perceive a bracelet and dangling dice, watch for the next throw in the war between Law and Chaos and be prepared to follow the compelling geas." -Signal

Supplement IV: Gods, Demi-Gods & Heroes (1976)

From the web:

What the authors have done in this volume is to attempt to set down guidelines that will enable you to incorporate a number of various mythologies into your game/campaign. They make no claims that any of this material presented is exhaustive, or even infallible.

The final supplement to the original D&D game, Gods, Demi-Gods and Heroes give the reader exactly what the title says, information on a variety of pantheons for use in gaming. This was the first place that statistics were introduced for deities and led to the ubiquitous “if it has stats we can kill it” mentality that has followed the game for generations. If you are a lover of D&D history, this book is an essential component for a complete collection.
