Survivor Appendix N Authors- LEIBER WINS!

[Dausuul]

Lots of axe-grinding so far. I guess it's too much to ask that people focus on downvoting the obscure, no-name also-rans before tackling the big-name authors. We get it, you think super-popular-legendary-iconic-author is over-appreciated. Does that mean that they deserve to fall before Sterling-fricking-Lanier, whose greatest claim to fame is appearing in Appendix N of the AD&D DMG?

The way things are going now, we're going to end up with Andrew Offutt, Fletcher Pratt, and Manley Wade Wellman in the final 3, and people are going to wonder WTF happened.

The fact that some no-name also-ran might emerge victorious because the big names beat each other to a pulp is part of the fun. It rarely happens, but the possibility adds spice to the game.

Without tactical voting, irrational vendettas, dogpiling the leader, and people casting "kill" downvotes out of sheer bloodlust, Survivor threads would be very dull indeed.

Wow, I've heard of many of these authors and have a number of them on my I should read that someday list, but the only one I have actually read anything by is Tolkien. I'm not fit to vote in this one (and I read a lot in my younger days).

Also, I can't believe you made this list without putting Clark Ashton Smith on it. For shame.

This is a list of authors that appeared in Appendix N (Inspirational and Educational Reading) of the 1E DMG. Your beef is with Gary Gygax, not Lowkey.

I could have sworn Appendix N eas where I first heard of CAS.
