[QUOTE="Blue Orange, post: 8359796, member: 7025997"] I mean, they're different games, they have different inspirations. Maybe Gygax didn't care for CAS. More primary sources, fewer fantasy novels for [I]Runequest[/I]. White Wolf has/d its own list of recommended sources at the end of all its books--the original [I]Vampire [/I]had: Movies: Near Dark, Vamp, The Hunger, Nosferatu (original silent movie), Dracula (original talkie), Dracula (Coppola's newest) Lost Boys, Blue Velvet, Dangerous Liaisons, Rear Window , Casablanca, Alien, Aliens, Blade Runner, Highlander (but not II) Music: The Cure, U2, New Order, Morrisey, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The The, XTC, Gypsy Kings, Philip Glass, Public Enemy, Sisters of Mercy, The Clash, The Doors, Jane's Addiction, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Sting, L7, Prince, Midnight Oil, REM, Pink Floyd, Mike Oldfield, Placido Domingo, Enrico Caruso Novels: Interview with the Vampire, The Vampire Lestat, Queen of the Damned, The Body Thief, Anne Rice; Dracula, Bram Stoker; I Am Legend, Richard Matheson; Those Who Haunt the Night, Barbra Hambly; Some of Your Blood, Theodore Sturgeon; The Vampire Tapestry, Suzy McKee Charnas; The Hunger, Whitley Streiber; The Delicate Dependency , Michael Talbot; The Light at the End, John Skipp and Craig Spector; Lost Souls, Poppy Z. Brite; Sandman, Neil Gaiman; Time Enough for Love, Robert Heinlein; East of Eden, John Steinbeck Games: Scruples, Illuminati, Cosmic Encounter, Call of Cthulhu, Ars Magica, Runequest, Pendragon, Shadowrun, Gurps Horror, Corps (note which game [I]isn't[/I] listed) Thinkers: Carl Jung, Joseph Campbell, Milan Kundera, Herman Hesse, Albert Camus, P.B.Shelly, Mercea Eliade, and (of course) Vaclav Havel And technically [I]Call of Cthulhu[/I] had all of HPL's works; I think they usually had a list of their favorite Lovecraft stories--not to mention each of the monsters and gods had a quote from a specific story introducing its entry in the monster table.
