[QUOTE="Jer, post: 6354338, member: 19857"] I'd imagine it would be hard not to include someone who's books have become iconic representations of D&D for so many people who were teenagers when the first Drizzt novels came out. Some of those folks are game designers now, so I can see how it would rank. Much like how the Dragonlance Chronicles sit up on the list as well - they're classics of the game fiction genre now, no matter what you might think of them as literature. I'm somewhat surprised that they didn't include Gygax's Gord books in there - they're not high literature, and they certainly aren't to everyone's tastes, but I would think they'd rank. CL Moore's Jirel of Joiry stories would be included in my list. I'd probably put Jim Butcher's Dresden books on there as well, though the influence right now goes the other way in that case :) [/QUOTE]
