No rule is inviolate
It's not the story that inspires my gameplay but rather Jordan's ability to make the scenery come alive. His descriptions are vivid with nuanced details so well done that a reader might begin to wonder if Jordan, well-traveled in his life, might have plunged through a portal into another world for a bit and come back.

What makes these better than Sword of Shannara? In the circles I run in the Shannara books are not.. well received. So, I'm curious what the difference is.

For a book,
Every book written by:
Christopher Stasheff
His books tend to fuse medievalesque and scifi, where ships travel between planets, magic is psionic via (vague but plausible) scientific explanations, and the cultures comprise wizards and witches.
I always have fun reading his books, and they do come to mind when Im creating an adventure or building a character concept.

The Lankhmar stuff by Leiber. The City of Seven-Score Thousand Smokes, Issek of the Jug, Ningauble of the Seven Eyes and Sheelba of the Eyeless Face is just all time great sword and sorcery stuff.

Gotta page through the ole mental catalogue...most/many of mine have already been brought up...
I have others, but guess I have to wait for future days to post them. (What's the point of that, exactly? Seems more irritating than anything else. Also, more likely to dissuade participation -shortening your lists- as people just don't return, forget, and/or have other things to do [irl] besides returning just to type out one item, than it would lengthen your threads/responses.)

Whoops.Those were in the freebie list
Despite posting in a thread about books, I clearly can't read.
