Survivor Appendix N Authors- LEIBER WINS!

[Yardiff]

Circumstantial, sure. Tolkien was rip roaring until the private message about the Fellowship was made public. Then all of a sudden Tolkien was the #1 target.

The way I remember it, Tolkien was being hit often when the message went out to try and ensure he was one of the finalists.

A point of note: Appendix N was never a intended as a list of "source material D&D was based on". It was included in the DMG as a list of material for prospective DMs to plagiarise.

We may be setting a record for length ... and passion.

I mean, it's no "condition" survivor thread (how dare Paralysis win.... WHERE IS THE JUSTICE IN THAT!) but I think people have the feels about authors.

We are all, by our mere presence here, nerds. I dare you to find me something we could not muster up "the feels" about.
