On Hallowed Ground

Summary: The best 2e product for a 3.5 world
Review: Most D&D books that are not sprinkled with "crunchy bits" like new spells, kits, equipment, c;asses, etc. tend towards the dull side. Or, if they are in 1st and 2nd Edition, they are frustrating to use. Not this book. It explains with all the detail that is reasonable to have without overwhelming the reader about "powers" (gods), proxies, priests, planars, and petitioners. It further goes into describing what are the perfect gods for various adventurers. It then goes into a brisk review of many pantheons, from real world ones of Greek, Celtic, and Asian origin, to the pnatheons created exclusively for D&D, describing the home of each god featured in adequent detail. It is a perfect blen; enough to get the flavor of the god but without going thru each one in an overly detailed and boring way.

5 stars.
