Survivor Appendix E (5e) Authors- Ursula K. LeGWINS!

[Ralif Redhammer]

Upvote to Jemisin, because representation in genre literature is important. Going to downvote Cook this time. At this point, I like all the authors remaining, so it’s all hard choices by degrees. But there’s a workman-like quality to his work that I think holds him back from complete greatness.

This is getting quite hard now. I'm named my first PC for a Wolfe protagonist, but stole the magic school at Roke and a whole slew of islands for my first homebrew from LeGuin...

"The only person who gets away with Locke Lamora games ...is Locke ...because we think the gods are saving him up for a really big death. Something with knives and hot irons ...and fifty thousand cheering spectators.”

As much as I totally feel like re-reading Lynch's books now, three written out of a proposed seven does not earn him a space here.

Lynch, Scott 0 - DOWN AND OUT
