Survivor Appendix N Authors- LEIBER WINS!

[Ralif Redhammer]

XP given especially for the Hawkmoon art. Flamingos and firelances!

Too many great authors here for me to choose rationally. Tolkien is the best, but Moorcock has far wider ranging imagination for the purposes of a wonderfully zany roleplaying campaign.

 

[Dausuul]

Dude .... are you begging for Tolkien to get downvoted?

Yeah, I'm afraid that might have to happen. And I love Tolkien. I grew up on Tolkien. But he doesn't get to just knock out everyone else on this list without a fight.

(Also, downvoting Zelazny? Them's fightin' votes.)

 

[Gradine]

Pretty much every author on this list is racist and/or sexist, so it would be pretty unfair to single any of them out on that basis.

It's more of a spectrum than an either/or switch. Don't worry, Howard et. al. will have their day too.

Lots of axe-grinding so far. I guess it's too much to ask that people focus on downvoting the obscure, no-name also-rans before tackling the big-name authors. We get it, you think super-popular-legendary-iconic-author is over-appreciated. Does that mean that they deserve to fall before Sterling-fricking-Lanier, whose greatest claim to fame is appearing in Appendix N of the AD&D DMG?

The way things are going now, we're going to end up with Andrew Offutt, Fletcher Pratt, and Manley Wade Wellman in the final 3, and people are going to wonder WTF happened.

Norton, Andre 20 + 1 = 21 He has a whole shelf to himself at my Public Library, therefore he must be a good author, right?
Offutt, Andrew J. 20
Pratt, Fletcher 20
Saberhagen, Fred 20 - 2 = 18 If we travel back in time and get him before he can write the Berzerkers, think how many lives across the Universe we can save!

Now I'm going to have to actually read Appendix N
