[QUOTE="Retros_x, post: 9511497, member: 7033171"] No I would not choose that, you misread me. I would choose to not write an Appendix at all, because as it was already stated and you prove with your argumentation, it will always be a point of contention. Either you put Lovecraft in for example for reasons you state than others are mad because he is a racist or they don't see cosmic horror as relevant to D&D as other genres and influence they miss from the Appendix. Or you left him out than people like you are mad. In the end its just a lot of butthurt because someones important artists is not included and they feel unseen for a weird parasocial reason. New DMs will not suffer because one author is included or not. And additionally it is not needed. I asked the DMs i know personally, nobody used the Appendix in 2014 and they all are already quite versed in the fantasy genres. I would argue that most DMs new and old alike are already familar with the genre and already get their inspiration from somewhere. [/QUOTE]
