8 / 10g026rThe info on each god is a tad sparse, but the sheer number makes up for it. Plus "What the Priests Say" is an invaluable player resource.
7 / 10ShannonAThe long cult writeups are much nicer, but nonetheless this is an indispensible book for RQ3 play.
7 / 10SkiorhtA very useful collection of cults and spells for Glorantha. The write-ups were a bir short, but the What the Priests Say book was a great handout for players.

3 + 5Lev LafayetteGods of Glorantha. An epic document of extraordinary scope and an excellent elucidation of Gloranthan religous pantheons, orientations and their numerous cults. Stylistically hamstrung (yet again) by Avalon Hill's production standards.

1986Adventurer #1
1987Different Worlds #45
1987Dragon #127The review concludes that the product is "the best presentation of an FRP world's pantheons, period", but it's also a compilation of older products and sacrifices depth for scope.

Ratings Explanation

The following components make up a rating:

Ratings. The ratings that users enter into this index are each averaged into the final rating with a weight of between 0 and 4, with weight based on trust algorithms.

Reviews. Each review is averaged into the final rating with a weight of 8. Sometimes reviews can skew high, but they also display fan interest (or disdain) in a product.

Content. The average rating of each content--before its own bayesian weight is inserted--is averaged into the final rating. The weight of a content is equal to its own weight divided by the number of contents, and divided again if it only appears in a fraction of editions.

Bayesian Weight. A rating of 5.00 is inserted into the final rating with a weight of 35. This is an arbitrary weighting of the average rating that keeps things toward the center until they're better rated.
