Do you have a good amount of cash lying around? Want to own a piece of D&D History? Well, I have the item for you!
The manuscript is currently going for US $12,300.00 (As of this post) https://www.ebay.com/itm/384211836524
The photos in the listing, show a stack of slightly yellowed typewriter paper full of text, stat blocks and lore for the various pantheons outlined in Deities & Demigods. James Ward has verified this a legit copy
“What you hold here is a unique and amazing piece of TSR history, The editors at TSR gave me 750 copied sheets of paper with the form for what they wanted me to start with for each of the listings at TSR. I would then take a single sheet, put it in my typewriter and type up a deity or magic item, hero, or monster.”
“What you get to see here are all of my bad spelling, my grammar mistakes, and the true text of each deity I made for that book. This manuscript is an important piece of TSR history of one of the most controversial products at TSR.”
The eBay user clay.74, notes that the bundle of aged pages is being sold, as found, in the original cardboard box they were stored in.
Photographs from clay show stat blocks and lore, revealing snippets about the pantheons the hardback introduced to the game.
A big thanks to Evilbeeker for the tip!
