How many books/authors of the original AD&D Bibliography have you read? Do you feel you see D&D differently than people who have not read any?

[QUOTE="Blue, post: 8774678, member: 20564"] I think there's a question of causation here. The original AD&D Appendix N books all came out prior to the DMG being published in 1979. The people who have read the most of them are much more likely are of a generation that was a contempory of those, or at least they were still on the "best fantasy books" list. That implies an age. Do I DM differently than someone in the 20s? Likely. Is that experience DMing, more time to explore other systems, less indoctrination in D&D as "The" one way to do RPGs, generational gaps, changing cultural touchstones and importance, exposure to more variations younger due to the internet, actual play availability, a play style based on a foundation of a rather different style of game... ... or the fact that I read more of a limited selection of classing fantasy books? Yeah, I don't reading or not reading more of the book list will make an appreciable difference compared to the other variants about why we might run differently. [/QUOTE]
