[QUOTE="AtomicPope, post: 4207726, member: 64790"] In some ways I agree but I have to look beyond the PC races and see the core of D&D: 1) Artifacts of Evil - Cursed artifacts were prevalent throughout D&D as a major world shaking event, just like LOTR 2) The Quest to Kill the Dragon and plunder his Gold - if you read the Hobbit, everything that happens in that book is at the core of any D&D adventure 3) The World Under the Mountains - Tolkien was the first modern fantasy author to create a dungeonscape, a subterranean world full of riches, monsters, traps, and dangers. Also at the core of D&D. Granted, that's not to say that Vance didn't contribute to D&D. He is responsible for providing the basis of the worst magic system of any roleplaying game to date ;) [/QUOTE]
