[QUOTE="aramis erak, post: 8381679, member: 6779310"] Jeff Swycaffer turned his Traveller non-OTU setting into a series of novels, as well as writing one (that I remember) for the OTU setting (which was published via GDW). Marc Miller turned a few small setting blurbs into threads of his epic first novel, [I]Agent of the Imperium[/I]. Which is as OTU as one can get, since Marc wrote the Traveller RPG. Not quite an RPG, but David Webber's Honor Harrington series first several books come across as strongly inspired by the Starfire space combat 4x wargame. Which, for reference, he was the line editor for while at Task Force Games. As I read it, I could, quite literally, visualize it as map states and dice rolls needed. Yes, he renamed a few things, but it was obvious. A few friends hadn't noticed it until I taught them Starfire, at which point, they came to the realization that it felt awful like HH... and then I pointed out that Starfire was older, and David Webber's name was in the books.... Plus, Webber and White worked on the first Starfire novel or two. Webber, like Martin, has crossed the problem point: They've gotten successful enough that their editors trust them.... [/QUOTE]
