I don't think gaming-based novels is inherently a bad idea. They can often provide a lot more flavor for a setting and an insight into how things work in practice in a way that's hard to do in a facts-based sourcebook. The issue is using novels to drive setting metaplot. But the problem there...

Interesting. This reminds me of Descent and Imperial Assault, where characters' attacks are determined by their gear and where different classes or characters have abilities that synergize with these to a greater or lesser degree. For example, the Runemaster class has abilities that enhance...

(I was considering 1974, but decided that AD&D with the ranger and paladin being "fighter plus" and referring to the fighter as "mere" was a better point for actually deciding fighters should suck as opposed to it being a thing that just happened.)

Marvel Super Heroes, in various versions. They pretty much all have both rules for rolling your own supers and for translating ones from the page onto the sheet.

Can't remember which one was first, but either this: or this: The first is the Swedish translation of Lone Wolf book 6. I skipped books 1 through 5, because this one said "Magnakai" on it so it of course had to be cooler. The second is issue 5 of the Swedish RPG magazine Sinkadus, which had...
