Seconded on the books. We might have Lord of Light around here somewhere. Eye of Cat is also good.

As to the writing, one person's "baroque" is another's "heightened." I don't remember ever finding Zelazny opaque, but opinions will (and probably should!) differ.

I agree, but ... I recommended it to a younger individual (think high school) and while they enjoyed it greatly, they found it more challenging. I think that this type of pseudo-modernist + pseudo-psychedelic writing isn't much in vogue any more.

Not to any post above:

You'd really hate Eric cosmology I'm guessing ...

Well I’m no fan of Eric anyways. He hogs all the chips for one thing.

Yeah. Eric is that guy who always orders the pineapple pizza and says, "Sorry it's taking me so long to make my character, but there's just so many different kinds of elves to choose from!"

Of course, at least he's not Brad.

At the dealership working while my car gets serviced. They have the overhead radio affixed to 80's rock. Im being bombarded with soft rock ballads made by bad boys who are just fighting for love. Dont let the leather pants and unkempt long hair fool you, these men are very sensitive.

Does Brad always play his anagram class too?

I can picture it exactly.

It's a great TTRPG.

The books are amazing as well. I would also highly recommend Lord of Light, although the writing can be very baroque at times.

Oh yeah. Loved Lord of Light.

As a sword and sorcery guy I respect the Elric books.

The bad thing is that Elric served as the character Salvatore put tracing paper over and made Drizzt with. My eighth grade gaming table can never forgive this.

Things just went from bad to worse, all the mechanics are in a mandatory union meeting. My repairs have been delayed...

So, a classical S&S take on Greyhawk as the very last setting book for 5e, announced the same day as the arrival of 6e a month later?
