[QUOTE="Ralif Redhammer, post: 7752110, member: 30438"] My brother had the EPT boxed set. At the time, I will agree that yes, the alien nature of the game for me was a tough sell. I seem to recall asking why I couldn’t just play a dwarf. These days, I’d love to revisit it. But my brother lost or sold off his copy of the boxed set! As far as that reading list, there are two listings that are not explicitly in Appendix N: Algernon Blackwood Merritt’s Face in the Abyss Doing some research on Blackwood, like many others on this list, he was a mainstay of the pulps. His stories “The Wendigo” and “The Willows” seem to be cited fairly frequently. I am unfortunately unfamiliar with the author, though it looks like he was an influence on both Tolkien and Lovecraft. [I]Edited to Add: [/I]For those like me not familiar with Algernon Blackwood, both of those above-listed stories are available free of charge for the Kindle on Amazon. [/QUOTE]
