Produced as an April Fool's supplement/joke, this free PDF has some nice laughs (sheer number of dick jokes in one of the god write-ups is impressive) and some interesting material. It gives you a look at some very low-profile Scions and low-profile Gods, all with a rather humorous edge.
Even with that in mind, I do have to say that sometimes nothing is better than something and the write-ups for some of these gods isn't so much humorously loose as completely made up without reference to reality. It's cool to put a modern spin on things, but quite another to just make up a whole legend and personality for a historical, non-fictional goddess like Xochiquetzal.
Should you take seriously a book that has an in-game version of Psy and contains re-spun lyrics to Gangnam Style along with a Scion of the Bacon God who loves Bacon and is a divinely-inspired Bacon Salesman? Probably not. But sometimes mythology really is that weird and honestly the PDF is free and good for a few laughs. Some of the characters are even the kind that might be useful. Min and Babi are pretty nifty Egyptian Gods, too.
3/5 Stars = It's funny, but sometimes goes too far for a laugh when it doesn't need to.
