A COMPENDIUM OF UNUSUAL DEITIES FOR LABYRINTH LORD 1 A COMPENDIUM OF UNUSUAL DEITIES FOR LABYRINTH LORD PETTY GODS Original idea by Blair Fitzpatrick (planetalgol.blogspot.com). Development and compilation by James Maliszewski (grognardia.blogspot.com). Design, layout and logo by Peter Gifford (headlesshollow.com). Cover illustration by Thomas Denmark. All materials are owned by their respective creators and are used with their permission. Published April, 2013 4 PETTY GODS Foreword BY PAUL JAQUAYS I’ve always felt that the best role playing game aids are the ones that enable the imagination, rather than replace it. These are typically not part of the brand name “sharecropper” game settings, bursting with all the pre-fab details necessary to run somebody else’s world. Rather, they are often small press publications, chock full of inspirational gems; stockpiles of stand-alone ideas, encounters, characters, deities, and settings that are intended to blend into the stories being created by game masters and their players. Over the years, I’ve worked on a few such game aids … Central Casting, CityBook, The Dungeoneer, and of course The Unknown Gods from Judges Guild … which as I understand, is the inspiration for this book. And that, of course, means it’s one of the good ones. Paul Jaquays December 25th, 2010 Author of Dark Tower & The Caverns of Thracia Foreword BY PETER GIFFORD In October 2012 I stumbled across James Maliszewski’s Grognardia blog, and a little something called the ‘OSR’ that had been ticking along for several years without my knowledge. As someone who came into the hobby in 1978 with Empire of the Petal Throne and the Holmes Basic D&D set, it was right up my alley. I’d been in touch with Maliszewski before, when he contributed a lot of gaming-related material to my Tekumel.com website, so I contacted him and offered to do the layout for this ‘Petty Gods’ project he kept mentioning on his blog. Several weeks of hard graft later I’d got it to the stage you see here, and after a final editorial review or two it would have been ready to publish. But now the project has been taken up in a new form by a new editor, who suggested I make this somewhat unfinished version available to the OSR community. After a very rough, quick edit by yours truly, here it is—despite the best efforts of a petty god or two ... My thanks to Gorgonmilk (gorgonmilk.blogspot.com) for resurrecting Petty Gods, and my admiration to the authors and artists within. Enjoy!
