How many books/authors of the original AD&D Bibliography have you read? Do you feel you see D&D differently than people who have not read any?

Plus <em>The Valour of Cappen Varra </em>(possibly THE first inspiration for the D&D-style Bard) and some other stuff he had in <em>Thieves' World, Swords Against Darkness</em> and/or similar collections and anthologies. Good stuff. <em>The Broken Sword </em>and <em>3H3L </em>give you a better idea of non-Tolkien elf influences, and 3H & 3L is famously where both Moorcock and Gygax got the Law/Chaos struggle, and where Gygax got D&D's trolls, swanmays, the Paladin, and we all got scots-speaking Dwarves.</p><p><strong><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Bellairs</span></strong><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">-</span> Not yet, but <em>tFitF </em>is on my to-read list.</p><p><strong><span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">Brackett</span></strong><span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">- </span>One short story, I think, though I'm forgetting the title. Might get back to her eventually.</p><p><strong><span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">Brown</span></strong><span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">- </span>Frederic Brown is excellent. Love his short (and short-short) stories, though they tend to be more modern and horror. Really clever and fun, I think the sense of humor and twists in them are what Gygax loved, more than being directly inspirational of a fantasy world. Still very much recommend them.</p><p><strong><span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">Burroughs</span></strong><span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">-</span> Love the Mars books, especially the first three, though they stay good for about the first six or eight then take a late nosedive in quality. I read them as a teenager, which was albeit after I started D&D, but I don't think I strongly associated them with D&D. I didn't get to <em>Tarzan </em>until adulthood and was honestly kind of shocked by the degree of racism in it after the Mars books. Even though there is certainly SOME in the Mars books (the throwaway line in the framing device about "our slaves adored him" speaking of the protagonist is a hard cringe to this day), but overall a major theme in the first three books is how the different "races" of martians, noted by their different colored skins, are more divided than they should be and fighting amongst themselves unnecessarily. Anyway, I strongly recommend the first three to nearly any D&D player. Or anyone who enjoys adventure fiction at all. Fast, propulsive pulp action. Tons of fun. And again, the books are SHORT. Not enormous commitments of time, like so many modern doorstop fantasy novels and series.</p><p><strong><span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">Carter</span></strong><span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">-</span> Some of his swords & sorcery short fiction. Not great, but not bad. Decent inspirational material, but not special.</p><p><strong><span style="color: rgb(209, 72, 65)">de Camp, de Camp & Pratt</span></strong><span style="color: rgb(209, 72, 65)">-</span> Not yet. Been on the list for a while. I understand that the original Giants series of modules lift HEAVILY from <em>The Roaring Trumpet</em>, and I do mean to get to them.</p><p><strong><span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">Derleth</span></strong>- Yes, a couple of his Mythos stories. Not bad. Definitely more D&D-like than the original Lovecraft stuff, because Derleth's protagonists can sometimes actually solve mysteries and win.</p><p><strong><span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">Dunsany- </span></strong>I started <em>The King of Elfland's Daughter</em> over at a friend's once but haven't finished it. I read <em>The Fortress Unvanquishable</em>, <em>Save for Sacnoth</em>, and it's great fun. Again, short, packed with evocative concepts. Recommended.</p><p><strong><span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">Farmer- </span></strong>Started one years back and didn't get into it. May try again someday. Oh wait, I read <em>Spiders of the Purple Mage</em> from the Thieves' World books. Meh.</p><p><strong><span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">Fox- </span></strong>A Short story or two in Dragon magazine. Pretty poor stuff. I could see some of the classic "fantasy world interacts with ours" notes which were common in classic older SF&F and touched on regularly in 70s-era D&D in these. But skippable.</p><p><strong><span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)"><u>Howard</u>- </span></strong>Didn't start these until the 2000s, but they're genuine classics. I've read a large amount of the original Conan, plus Solomon Kane and some Bran Mak Morn, a little Kull. The stereotype of Conan as the dumb brute barbarian I inherited from generic nerd culture of the 80s and 90s was deeply misinformed, and these stories are super fun. Again, tend to be short. Occasional racist and sexist artifacts of Howard's time, but less so than his peers, I would say. Highly, highly recommend that folks check out a few of the big ones, like <em>Red Nails</em>, and <em>The Tower of the Elephant,</em> for some cracking stories & D&D inspiration.</p><p><strong><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Lanier</span></strong>- Haven't touched yet, I know this series is post-apoc fiction, also inspirational specifically of D&D psionics and some giant animal monsters. May get to eventually, haven't prioritized them.</p><p><strong><span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)"><u>Leiber</u>- </span></strong>More gold. The Fafhrd & Mouser stores another absolute primary source for D&D inspiration, another bunch of SHORT reads, full of ideas, atmosphere and action. Late period books best disregarded, as people have already written in the thread. But the first several collections of short stories are super good. I've read some of his other, modern-set horror fiction as well and quite enjoyed it.</p><p><strong><span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">Lovecraft- </span></strong>A bunch of his stories, but not the whole lot, and a couple of the big ones (like <em>At the Mountains of Madness</em>) I haven't touched yet. Some really solid atmospheric inspiration for horror-inflected D&D. Will definitely return to him and round out the reading,.</p><p><strong><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Merritt- </span></strong>Have only started <em>The Moon Pool</em> but will definitely return to it. Can't say much.</p><p><strong><span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">Moorcock-</span></strong> A 60s-era retake on pulp fun; great monsters, magic, thoughts on weird planar adventures and extraplanar foes and evil deities and demons. Huge influence for D&D. Elric is the anti-Conan, but in a good way (more on this below, though).</p><p><strong><span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">Norton- </span></strong>Never really got into. I read the first of her <em>Witch World </em>books as a teenager. Didn't quite grab me, but will probably try her again eventually.</p><p><strong><span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">Offutt</span></strong>- Short stories in <em>Swords Against Darkness</em> and in <em>Thieves' World</em>. I quite liked Hanse "Shadowspawn" in the TW books, but I don't think Offut's that great. Still, his bits in the TW anthology are pretty good and worth some D&D inspiration.</p><p><strong><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Pratt-</span></strong> None. Though I'm also aware of the importance of his naval wargame in the history of gaming, so I'd like to read some of his stuff.</p><p><strong><span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">Saberhagen</span></strong> - I read the first <em>Book of Swords</em>. Some cool stuff in there, especially if you like artifacts in your D&D or want to learn how to run earth-shaking artifacts and their consequences in your games. Didn't fall in love, but might read more eventually.</p><p><strong><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">St. Clair-</span></strong> Haven't touched. Have heard she's partly responsible for giant multi-level megadungeons though, so I've meant to for years.</p><p><strong><span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)"><u>Tolkien</u>-</span></strong> LotR and The Hobbit predated D&D for me, which since I started D&D at ten years old is saying something. These are foundational to who I am as a human. Read more Tolkien later in life, after re-reading these plenty of times, and am also happy with his other work. We all know how much of the bestiary and the player species are lifted directly from here for D&D.</p><p><strong><span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)"><u>Vance</u></span></strong>- Started with <em>Cugel's Saga</em> from a local library as a teenager, then the amazing <em>Lyonesse t</em>rilogy. Though the latter post-dates D&D, <em>Lyonesse </em>is tied with Tolkien for my favorite trilogy ever. Later got into <em>The Dying Earth</em> and <em>The Eyes of the Overworld</em>, and they're as influential as everyone says. Plus I love his overwrought dialogue and clever prose. I will caution modern readers that he can be a bit casual about references to sexual assault, and has a tendency to queer-code villains, both of which suck.</p><p><strong><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Weinbaum-</span></strong> Nothing, and unfamiliar with his work.</p><p><strong><span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">Wellman</span></strong>- only got to him recently, and as I recall Gygax only mentions his sci-fi, which is crazy. His <em>Silver John</em> stories and his <em>Kardios</em>, the protagonist of <em>Straggler from Atlantis</em> and other stories, are, along with Anderson's <em>Cappen Varra</em>, the apparently-obvious antecedents of D&D bards. Definitely recommend these works, especially the Silver John stories. Which, while set in quasi-modern Appalachia, are still great weird tales of adventure and horror. Again, huge value for the buck/page count in these. Tiny investment in time for the fun you get. And Goodman Games was inspired in part by those latter stories to create the Shudder Mountains setting for DCC, which is a pretty strong testament to their applicability to D&D.</p><p><strong><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Williamson - </span></strong>None. I've always been more one for Fantasy than Sci-Fi, and I don't know of any direct inspiration he gave to D&D. I think he was just kind of a giant of the pulp era and Gygax liked him. As far as I know that's the extent of it.</p><p><strong><span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">Zelazny</span></strong>- I've dodged the Amber books to this day, though I've read a bit of his short fiction, such as <em>Dilvish the Damned</em>. Not blown away, but enjoyed it. People have raved about him for decades, so no doubt I'll get around to him.</p><p></p><p>So that looks like 20 out of the original 28 authors I can say yes, for. And I'd say they do indeed inform my games and my ability to comprehend D&D and what it was written to emulate.</p><p></p><p>Having started as a kid with primarily Tolkien, Lloyd Alexander and Lewis for my fantasy influences, rapidly followed by Katherine Kurtz and few others, I can attest that having since acquired familiarity with this wider list of sources and influences has definitely made it much easier to understand where D&D came from and how and appreciate that.</p><p></p><p></p><p>I concur. The list is not exhaustive, some inclusions and exclusions apparently inexplicable, except that Gary was giving us a good snapshot but not a definitive list.</p><p></p><p></p><p>Thanks for letting me know about the Xorn! I'd definitely recommend checking out some Frederic Brown. Really fun (and occasionally creepy) stuff.</p><p></p><p></p><p>Very much so.</p><p></p><p></p><p>Yeah, I agree with a lot of this. Though Moorcock and Gygax cribbed Law & Chaos from Anderson's <em>Three Hearts and Three Lions</em>, and I think the latter work gives you the essentials to understand D&D's take on that conflict/pairing. Moorcock definitely expanded and riffed on it in neat ways, though. And the Elric stories in general are well worth diving into.</p><p></p><p></p><p>Yeah, those Prydain books are classics, especially for children's literature. They were a big early influence for me too, and probably slightly predate getting D&D.</p><p></p><p></p><p>Green slime also appears to be inspired by a 60s B-movie of the same name.</p><p></p><p>I've read a bit of Jeffro's theorizing on his own blog and some of it had merit. I would prefer not to give him a dime, but will CONSIDER picking his book up second hand some time. Peter Bebergal's <em>Appendix N</em> short story collection, OTOH, is quite good, albeit just an accessible collection of stories, sans analysis historical or critical.</p><p></p><p></p><p>Elric is indeed explicitly and deliberately an anti-Conan. That being said, part of the joy of the early Moorcock stories is that they share a great deal of pulp sensibility with Howard's work. Fast-paced, propulsive action, succinct and evocative prose, and energetic, flowing creativity. All in short page counts. Moorcock's later work is much worse. Self-indulgent, tiresome and interminable.</p><p></p><p></p><p>Can see that very much. Bebergal's book, OTOH, is well-sourced and has a nice mix of classics and lesser-known stories.</p></blockquote><p></p>

Yeah, those Prydain books are classics, especially for children's literature. They were a big early influence for me too, and probably slightly predate getting D&D. Green slime also appears to be inspired by a 60s B-movie of the same name. I've read a bit of Jeffro's theorizing on his own blog and some of it had merit. I would prefer not to give him a dime, but will CONSIDER picking his book up second hand some time. Peter Bebergal's [I]Appendix N[/I] short story collection, OTOH, is quite good, albeit just an accessible collection of stories, sans analysis historical or critical. Elric is indeed explicitly and deliberately an anti-Conan. That being said, part of the joy of the early Moorcock stories is that they share a great deal of pulp sensibility with Howard's work. Fast-paced, propulsive action, succinct and evocative prose, and energetic, flowing creativity. All in short page counts. Moorcock's later work is much worse. Self-indulgent, tiresome and interminable. Can see that very much. Bebergal's book, OTOH, is well-sourced and has a nice mix of classics and lesser-known stories. [/QUOTE]

How many books/authors of the original AD&D Bibliography have you read? Do you feel you see D&D differently than people who have not read any?
