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.

Quote from: Thoth;956143Mostly an Amber fan, especially the first five books honestly.
It's amazing to me how many Amber fans qualify it by mentioning the first five books specifially. I know that the tone of the Merlin Saga was different, but I have always been intrigued by the depth of campaign that is revealed in the second five. I mean, the first five are clearly better written and mostly tie up a plotline, but the second five add in new things that are a lot of fun, too, particularly from a gaming perspective.

It's funny because early on Zelazny's reputation was very much built on his early short stories and he was considered one of the leading lights of the 'New Wave' sf in the 60s but he is now remembered best for his overt fantasy like Amber.
