[QUOTE="GnomeWorks, post: 5881607, member: 162"] Include films and TV series. Say... Seven Samurai, maybe Yojimbo. The Dollars trilogy. Throwing Harry Potter into the mix probably wouldn't hurt. The thing with this kind of list is that you want the stuff to be accessible and/or have things on the list the reader is already familiar with. You want obvious high-profile fantasy works to be on the list, so that readers who are new to the game and the genre in general will be able to look at it and say, "Oh, okay, <popular thing I know about> is on here... maybe some of this other stuff will be cool, too." Also - just drop the original list. I couldn't tell you who at least half of those people are or why they're on the list, and the ones I do recognize I only recognize because they get thrown around all the time. If you want to try to attract new players, stop referencing things that, at this point, are ridiculously old. [/QUOTE]
