[QUOTE="jmucchiello, post: 4776854, member: 813"] Again a bunch of unknown names (other than Gaiman as I did once read comic books but his only literary work I've read was co-authored with Terry Pratchett: Good Omens). However, taking a weird twist and rendering it onto society sounds far more like scifi (in its speculative fiction aspect) than fantasy. I don't think D&D should cater toward anything scifi. Another pair of "Who?"s. Does this subgenre follow from Moorcock? Nothing you wrote about these guys sounds worse than stuff Moorcock was writing 30-40 years ago. Her Book of Words trilogy was also dark. It is the typical farm boy saves the world story but in the end you wonder if he should have bothered. Can't say I'd want more Angst than she delivers though. L. E. Modesitt Jr. He is a world builder. Recluse is a 15-20 novel series that has built a very rich world. His Spellsong series involves a completely different world, as does his Corean series. He's also a scifi author and some of his fantasy has scifi underpinings. [/QUOTE]
