[QUOTE="Arnie_Wan_Kenobi, post: 9613766, member: 7028767"] I like this topic (and I missed it originally)! Some awesome ideas above! 2nd Edition D&D: I'm in complete agreement on Dragonlance. It's influence on my personal visualization of "High Fantasy" is indelible. Especially the original "Dragonlance Adventures" hardcover, "Time of the Dragon" and "Taladas the Minotaurs," and anything by Knaak. Which makes this "My" Appendix N, what has shaped my playing/perception (through this week), and not necessarily what I'd suggest to other players (but I'd still suggest all of this; the other list is just LONGER). Dark Sun and Planescape. The Pathefinder 1E starter set And in no particular order (both Fantasy and Sci-Fi): Books: Bullfinch's Mythology The Greek, Egyptian, and Norse mythology books in my elementary school library (the names all escape me now) Barlowe's Guide to Extraterrestrials The Terran Trade Authority series Leiber's Ffahrd and The Grey Mouser series Dark Horse's Conan Comic Adaptations Ben Aaronovich's Rivers of London series (a recent addition) Shakespeare's The Tempest and Midsummer Night's Dream And like so many of us: Lord of the Rings, Chronicles of Narnia, and the related films. Films/TV Star Wars (IV-VI, Caravan of Courage and Battle for Endor) WILLOW!!!!! Krull Labyrinth Neverending Story The Hobbit (Rankin Bass) Sleeping Beauty (Disney) Heavy Metal (the cartoon movie) Masters of the Universe (and probable She-Ra, Thundercats, Herculoids, Thundarr, etc.) The Princess Bride Monty Python and the Holy Grail Video Games: GAUNTLET! Castlevania I and II Dragon Warrior I, II, and III The Legend of Zelda and Link's Adventure Final Fantasy I and II (NES) Art Elmore, Easley, Caldwell, and most of all, Keith Parkinson Tomy DiTerlizzi Brian Froud Wayne Reynolds LEGO Castle sets! And, a special note to Magic the Gathering: The Dark, Homelands, and Visions (yes. Those three sets in particular.) [/QUOTE]
