To be fair, Gwynhwyfar is actually the original form of Guinevere, which became the modern "Jennifer." This has been the most interesting fact in your day, thanks for coming to my lecture. E: oh, But she totally named her after the (lovely) character in MoA, there's no way she didn't.

Doc Hawkins posted:is C. S. Friedman cancelled? i liked all them True Night books Not as far as I know If you enjoyed those you should also check out her Magister trilogy, it's thematically similar to Coldfire but with the benefit of fifteen years more writing experience. Her SF is also pretty good.

Bradley and also Anne McCaffrey, whose name I had entirely forgotten and had to figure out now through a convoluted google search that started from “Perm Dragons”. Now I have the image in my head of dragons with glorious 80s hair, so thanks for that.

I barely remember anything about the one book I read about that guy, except I didn't like it.

Marcade posted:Trap sprung, etc. but that's Drizzt from R. A. Salvatore's seemingly endless book series. Did you guyes know Drizzt is a black elf, who escapes the black elf theocratic underground society? In the underground their real, actually existing, goddess, who interferes with real world events all the time, commands that the women are in charge and the men are slaves fit for fighting and loving. There probably is some political message buried in there but I'm too hung over right now to present any conclusions.

I like to think of Drow as basically what a Dwarf Fortress gimmick run looks like in-universe. I heard the Drizz't books tend to be fairly entertaining schlock, and apparently very good fight scenes, the author's apparently a trained boxer.

Driz'zt is part of the Forgotten Realms setting, so saying that the goddess actually exists and interferes with real world affairs isn't exactly remarkable. All of the FR gods exist and interfere with the world in that setting, and there's a whole bunch of books and D&D campaigns centered on when two of the gods gently caress around and try to steal from their creator, and as punishment he exiles all the gods to mortal forms on the earth. A bunch of gods die during this time and a bunch more mortals die, the souls of the dead get stuck without the god of death to oversee their passage to the afterlife, magic gets all hosed up because the goddess of magic isn't able to keep poo poo in line, the entire world goes to war. For a story about a D&D setting, it's a pretty cool concept, it's too bad that most D&D novels are written by total hacks.

Is that the one where the goddess of magic is just "this random bear that was in the woods at the right time" for a week or so?
