SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

There are an awful lot of assumptions in any list that renders their value obvious: it depends on the subjective comprehension of the reader.

The one good thing about that list is it is fairly rounded, though I feel there is a lot of stuff on there I'd classify as "shit", there are some truly great things there too. The value of reading any of these things depends entirely on the reader and how it will influence them. I think a better questions is not how to append the appendix but rather what books on that list were big influences on you as a GM and Player?

Quote from: Cave Bear;935152It is awesome! It's low-fantasy heroes in a high-fantasy world with a noir plot and bits of sci-fi.

At least the first book stands on its own. I've only read the first two books in the trilogy, and so far I think I "get it."

Thanks, I'll check it out! Also, I'm reading Mielville's "the city and the city" and I am liking it so far, so maybe I was too quick to write him off.
