The Ethshar books by Lawrence Watt-Evans. Magic is a respectable profession, like being a carter or mason. Mages takes apprentices who only know a handful of very low-power spells to start out with. There are a dozen or more different magic systems.
The Barrow and it's sequels by
Mark Smylie. (Same guy who does the Artesia graphic novels, and set in that same world). The prologue is the 'idol in the lizardman temple scene' from the AD&D PHB cover.
The Deed of Paksenarion by Elizabeth Moon. They have clerics and paladins, etc etc.
The War God series by David Weber - starts with Oath of Swords. World with humans, elves, dwarves, halflings, and hradani - which are kind of like beefed-up half-orcs. Our hradani hero becomes a paladin of the war god, something no hradani has ever done. Very, very cool descriptions of interactions between deities and their agents on Earth.
Throne of the Crescent Moon - Ahmed, Saladin. - Very much that 'd&d-party' flavor
The Malazan series - Steven Erikson and Ian C. Esslemont
