good complement for the Monstrous Manual
12 Mar 2000
In these pages are described the pantheons of the demihumans, goblinoids, dwellers of the Underdark, giants and kin, avian and aquatics, undead and lycanthropes, and the sylvan folk.
As far as applicability goes this isn't a very useful supplement. The various priesthoods are useful and your PC's will have something interesting to listen to when they eavesdrop on the monster's church services. ...but part of the fun of being a DM is coming up with that stuff yourself. Most of the stuff in MMyth doesn't have a lot of immediate usefulness in your game.
As far as an entertaining product this is probably the best material from TSR besides the Volo guides. You will find unknown depths of the monsters' psyche not explored on the Monstrous Manual. Many of the creation myths and descriptions of the gods (and other worshipped immortals) are well fleshed out and feel like almost Tolkienesque.
I don't know why this book is out of print, some of this material could be out of date.

A must for any demihuman or humanoid campaign
4 May 2000
The Monster Mythology is a necessary addition to any campaign featuring demihumans or humanoids especially if some of the Pc's are priest. The book present 8 new pantheons ( the demihuman one is mostly reprinted from Unearthed Arcana). The informations included inside about each of the different gods and religions are presented in a clear and concise way. The sections about the gods of the Underdark and the one about the gods of the Dark Folk were of special interest to me. As you can guess from it's title the book doesn't just talk about humanoid or demihuman gods it also includes gods of the undead, feary gods, giant gods etc... This is an excellent work from the TSR staff, an the only real down side of the book is the artwork which is pretty bad...

The Gods of the Demi-humans finally revealed!!!!
28 Feb 1998
This is the book I have come back to time and time again for my AD&D campaign, and when I play under other DM's. With this book you get the skiny on every god of all the races, including Dragons, Elves, Drow, Dwarves, Halflings, Gnomes, Faerie, Unicorns, and many many more. If you DM or play in ANY campaign setting using the standard AD&D races, this book is a must!
