WOW, can't believe how many people hate D&D...err...I mean R.E. Howard the guy who created and invented Conan and promoted the entire Sword and Sorcery Vibe from the 30s and 40s and was later used to bring it back by others....and inspired half the listed writers above to write what they wrote.
Crazy.
Well, we now know people prefer Epic D&D to S&S D&D. Of course, Tolkien style D&D (he was an influence, but I'd say early D&D was more S&S in playstyle) got bigger in the 80s and probably over half the people who play old school are from that era...sooo...
That should mean Dragonlance is HUGE with this crowd then.
With 3e it tried to bring back the S&S style...I suppose we see how that is liked now as we see what people vote towards Howard.
