Slowly but surely, getting rid of Jemisin...

Mythology, FTW!

That works for me.

Upvote for Nemisin, because she’s awesome. Downvote for Bulfinch, because if you want a study of mythology and folklore, you can do better than a 19th century one. Still, at least he rocked some awesome sideburns…

I can't believe there is a real possibility that the top 10 authors inspiring D&D are authors 90% of D&D players have never heard of. That seems...really odd and contradictory. The nature of tribalism I suppose.

I don't know about tribalism, but it definitely supports my theory of how an author's name recognition is more of a penalty than a benefit in these contests. Seems like the first authors to be voted off are usually the more popular, easily-recognized ones.
