looking towards adapting City of Carse for my games. I've had it for ages, but when I last checked it it didn't suit my campaign's mood.
Now I think I am going to have a look at it again.
Will have to remove the Midkemia references though.
By the way, did you know that Reymond E. Feist's Riftwar novels started out with a #dnd campaign (which crossed over with #tekumel?)
@kyonshi I read a few of his books for the Tekumelian connection. I felt it gave a pretty good feel for how a Tekumel game might work. Decent enough introduction to the setting I felt.
@starhawk Shannara was fucking terrible. I really tried multiple times, but I couldn't stand the writing. It was so bad. I never could understand how this was so successful.
The Drizzt books were serviceable for what they were (but I gave up on FR stuff in general)
@starhawk The Wheel of Time was another series where I never even wanted to get into. Didn't help that the German publisher managed to drag out the books they had to 37 by splitting them up (a practice Dragonlance and other dnd novels also suffered under)
@kyonshi i read a bunch as a kid, but not sure how well they’d hold up now. Riftwar stuff was fun but it was the Empire trilogy that I really loved, but was also riskier to revisit and maybe discover it was more Orientalist than I noticed at the time.
