On Roger Zelazny
In case I haven't alienated myself enough from the gaming populace with my opinions on Tolkien, I also agree with KG on Zelazny. I thought the Amber books were OK, but nothing amazing. I love the roleplaying game because its diceless and simple not because I'm a fan of the books. I never would have finished the Corwin books if I didn't play the rpg. Now you know my opinion.
