  1. However, like some Stephen King books, this one can be a little hard to get into. It's a long book too, so before the story starts picking up it can be a while. ;) It's very good though.

     

    I'd suggest just browsing through the forum, plenty such books are being discussed here.

     

    I would disagree, but each to their own I suppose :lol:

     

    Lovecraft is a good option, Call of Cthulhu and the Case of Charles Dexter Ward.

  2. No, I had no idea!

     

    I don't eat land animals that are not bipedal aves or acquatic vertebrates. Red meat. Cows, sheep, pigs, rabbits, lambs, deer, cats, dogs. Anything with four legs that lives on land, the things usually NOT denominated by 'bird' or 'fish', which, coincidentally, fish and chickens and turkeys are not. Happy?

     

    No need for sarcasm, you made the claim that they were not animals, not me. Which, clearly, they are animals.

  3. The white wolf games are full of win, but I am biased - I have shelves of the books.

     

    Nollaigs right, the books detail rules which, ideally, work as a framework from which a stroy is told interactively. In the white wolf system ten sided dice are used to add an element of chance to the game, but mainly for dramatic actions - such as jumping out of a helicopter and skiing down the side of a mountain whilst fighting of rabid werewolves. The better you are at a skill, the more dice you roll. Other game systems use lots of different dice, such as six sided, 8 sided all the ay up to a hundred sided.

     

    Most RPG books come with a fair bit of fiction with them, to set the scene for whoevers running the game and to give the players an idea of the world their characters will be doodling around in.

  4. zomg! cant believe no ones mentioned RA Salvatore and his masterpiece books. they're a little more complex but its still popular today being like 20 years old. i cant play an online game w/ out seeing a reference to one of his characters. Drizzt is simply Bad:censored:ss !

     

    I'm going to disagree with you there, RA Salvatore's Drizzt novel move from being passable to being downright awful. The Crystal Shard was ok, but the rest just keep getting worse.
