[QUOTE="delericho, post: 6294740, member: 22424"] Actually, thinking back, I think I may well have read a couple of those novels - but that would have been back in high school, 20+ years ago. Shows how much of an impression they made. :) "I, Strahd" is a pretty decent read. For that matter, so too is the Birthright novel "The Iron Throne". Most of them aren't worth the time, never mind any cost associated with getting them. That said, most of the "Pathfinder Tales" have been decent (except "The Wizard's Mask", which sucks beyond my ability to adequately describe). And the "Vampire: the Victorian Age" trilogy actually turned out to be pretty good. One thing that I think a lot of settings could benefit from is not so much novels as a really good anthology of short stories - that's a good way to cover a lot of ground quickly. I'm thinking of something like the "Dragonlance Tales" or "Realms of Valor". But good, obviously! [/QUOTE]
