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.

I mentioned this in passing on another thread but thought it might be of interest here as well. I recently got the first two books in this reprint series and feel quite good about them. They have occasional typos (they mostly look like OCR errors) but overall they're well edited volumes with a lot really invaluable paratextual material (eg, Zelazny's articles, speeches, correspondence, etc) that are great if you happen to be into that sort of thing. It's great to read the stories with a better sense of context in terms of Zelazny's life and other literary output. The first volume is probably a little bit better suited to the completists out there but the second covers the time around the writing of Nine Princes in Amber, among other things, and will probably be of some interest to those folks who frequent this site. At this point I've determined that I'll probably pick up the rest of the volumes as they come out.
