Do you read gaming fiction?

Counting the Story Hour Boards, quite a lot of it. :) Otherwise, not so much. Salvatore is the only one I read regularly, and really only his Drizzt stuff. The rest is mainly historical fact books or historical fiction. History's always a crazier place to visit than some author's imagination, anyway. :)

Only every so often...heh, I love to play D&D, I love fantasy, but I just don't READ much fantasy. Its either all the same or all too different for me.

Though if you count Story Hours....:cool:
 

I used to (FR novels, mostly), but quit. There are many more books out there that are far superior than slogging through those FR books. Blech.
 

Not usually, but occasionally poor taste overcomes my good sense.

I did read the original Dragonlance trilogy when it came out, and enjoyed it, but looking back on it now, it's crap. Otherwise, over the years I've read:

Gary Gygax "Gord" books - Crap.
Dragonlance Legends trilogy - Crap
Darkwalker on Moonshae - Crap.
Avatar Trilogy - Crap.
Spellfire - Crap.
First book in the Vampire Clan series - Crap.
First book in the Dark Elf trilogy - Not quite crap, but not interesting or well-written enough to get me to read further.
First "Demon: The Fallen" book - Pretty decent, actually.
 



The Dragonlance books by Weis and Hickman. Most of the books by other authors weren't worth it.

Used to read the Magic: the Gathering novels, until I kicked the card habit. Probably still have the paperbacks in storage.

I've read a couple Greyhawk novels. Shadowrun novels. That's about it.
 

I tend to avoid it because it tends to be bad. Though I did read 2 of the 3 War of the Twins Trilogy, and I've heard good things about Salvatore's work.
 

I love to read. I have read most of the original Dragonlance novels and fully enjoyed those. I have read most of the new DnD novels they were good for light easy to put down books. I have really enjoyed most of the Shadowrun novels that I have read.
 

I've read the original Dragonlance books -- decent.
I've read a fair shake of R.A. Salvatore FR books -- some are OK, but the series has become pretty tired.
Read a few Werewolf stories, all crap.
Read the first of the Rokugan novels; not bad.
Read some other FR books, including the Avatar Trilogy-- utter crap.
Read some WH40K books, not impressed.
