[QUOTE="SteveC, post: 9512588, member: 9053"] I agree with you 100%. I would really like to know the inspirations behind the current rules. I'm not sure I would be interested in many of the authors, but I would investigate them pretty thoroughly. For a lot of the RPGs I've been looking at recently, I've read or watched all of the source material they recommend, so I know that I am on the same page with the authors. I don't expect that 5.5E is going to be the same, so it would be interesting to have some suggestions. I might find something new and interesting. But more importantly, the books or other media game designers recommend tells me what their game is about in ways the rules themselves typically don't. I was looking at lists of the best fantasy novels of 2024 and thought "Wow, there's a lot of authors out there I've never heard of." That led me to start delving into the books. I've had a really full year with reading stuff, and 2025 looks full, too. But that doesn't mean I'm not on the lookout for new authors to explore. [/QUOTE]
