D&D 5E Any authors you think should be in Appendix E but are not?

[Obryn]

Only in that you might need reading glasses Cooks name is cleverly hidden under C.

Oh no!

Yeah, I missed him. The one I saw was hard to read.

 

[Andor]

Lois McMaster Bujold for her Paladin of Chalion series.

Seconded and I would also add the lakewalker quadrilogy. Lois does amazing world building and characters.

Plus Peter S. Beagle - Last Unicorn

Susanna Clarke - Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell

Under Jack Vance they should have specifically mentioned the Lyonesse trilogy. Plane shift and its material component the tuning fork, and the planes are straight out of the books. Magic in the story follows the Dying Earth logic which is very D&D. It's one of my favorite fantasy series and anyone interested in fey should read it for inspiration.

Guardians of the Flame - Joel Rosenberg

Ha! I loved those as a kid.

My vote is for Steven Brust and Raymond Feist. I looked for both, but they weren't there. Those were my two favorites when I first starting playing D&D.

Guardians of the Flame - Joel Rosenberg

The 10 year old me read that book and ws blown away. Unlike DL it actually has held up decently as I re-read it about once a decade.

I just started reading this series. It's a little slow so far and not very fantastic, but I am hoping it picks up.

 

[Hand of Evil]

Karl Edward Wagner for The Kane books
Keith Taylor for The Bard / Felimid Mac Fal
David Eddings - the Belgariad & others
Anne McCaffrey - Pern

Yeah, the princess and mirror part in the beginning is a bit slow but it eventually ties the story all together. It's extremely fantastic later, with planar travel etc.

David Gemmel? His works are not fantasy masterpieces but are interesting tales where fighter types are the center of the story.

Andrzej Sapkowski? The Witcher novels.


This thread is reminding me that I have not read a fantasy novel for a long time!

David Gemmel and Steven Erikson. Gemmel's work may not seem like masterpieces to you, but to many others he's as relevant as Moorcock and Leiber.

And Erikson...I don't know how the hell GRR is on tat last but Erikson is not. The Malazan series is more D&D relevant the anything in Westeros.
