Alright, if there's no mechanical differences, then the party will consist of: A Carebear Fighter A Cthulhu Cleric A Bumblebee (the insect, not the Autobot) Rogue A Godzilla Bard A Can-of-beans Wizard Mechanically, they're all humans, but lore-wise the players could still argue that they...

Some people have an appendix n so large it needs to be removed, or else it will burst!

Since Shakespeare's Star Wars is a thing, perhaps someone should come out with Shakespeare's Conan.

I know AI art is a thing. Will there be worry of AI authors? Publishers just telling it to gives them a new book in the style of [insert author here] and then they sell it to the masses?

I never once picked up a book, saw the author was female, and put it back. The books I have read in the past were often suggested by other readers of fantasy I know. Some of my fellow nerds in high school were young women, and they still pointed me to books written by men. The few female...

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I was specifically talking about fantasy authors. Not all books I've ever read. Most of the books I had to read for school were female authors. My question was about female fantasy authors writing about male protagonists that are described in the "rough and rugged" way...

38. I read a lot more as a teen, but it was mostly mythology books, and a few door-stopper fantasy and sci-fi series. (Wheel of Time was my favourite for a long time) Then there was an almost ten year gap where I was focused more on video games and read almost nothing. George RR Martin got...

Has there ever been a female fantasy author that did their own take on the "rough and rugged" hero/antihero? Does being written by a woman change anything? Does the protagonist succeed more, or do they fail more? Does their rugged looks still make the ladies swoon, or are they regarded more as...

Maybe this is a stupid question to ask, since writing styles have probably changed a lot over the years, but are there any new-ish fantasy series you'd recommend to someone who enjoys books by Roger Zelazny?

Wow, early depictions of Conan were...different. More clothes, less muscle.

Sounds like the same thing to me, but you can enjoy what you like.

Do the groups of people have different technology levels? If it's based on Africa I would think there would be some people in cities, while others are in tribal villages, and such. Any cannibal tribes the other groups of people try to avoid?

Ah, thanks for the info. Fiction where it acknowledges the character is in a game? I can see the appeal for some, but that's definitely not for me. At least with my current tastes.
