Reading-list for an “old-school D&D” fantasy
Aka, here is the list of the fantasy books that MASSIVELY influenced the original D&D and its first editions. Or, if you want to put it another way, the books that were the ingredients to create D&D/that were copied by D&D.
# J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings” (+ “The Hobbit”). The source of modern fantasy, and THE main influence and source of old-school D&D. In fact, the creation of D&D was basically the creation of “The Lord of the Rings: The Role-Playing Game”. Very famously (or unfamously), in its original edition, D&D included a LOT of elements taken from the work of Tolkien, that then had to be re-shaped due to being under the copyright of Tolkien’s work. In the first edition D&D you’ll find “hobbits”, “mithril” and “balrogs” for example - that D&D had to change to “halflings”, “mithral” and “balors” to legal reasons. The only Tolkien-specific creatures D&D could keep were the orcs. Overall a LOT of D&D comes from Tolkien: the original depictions of elves and dwarfs, the ents (sorry, treants), the wights, the symbols of the “eye of fire” and “white hand” for the gods the orcs worship... And of course, the “Ranger” class was originally just the character of Aragorn as a class.
# Poul Anderson’s “Three Hearts and Three Lions”. This book was one of the two sources for the alighnment system of D&D of “Order versus Chaos” in a fantasy world. The D&D trolls were also heavily influenced by the depiction of trolls in this novel, PLUS the “Paladin” class was influenced by the character of Holger Carlsen.
# Michael Moorcock’s “The Elric Saga”.The other main source of the “Order vs Chaos”, “Lawful vs Chaotic” alignment of D&D - but also the main inspiration behind the Drow and the D&D-shaped image of “Dark Elves” in general (in the novels, they are the Melnibonéan Empire). D&D also contains several other references to the Saga - for example “Blackrazor” is inspired by Elric’s iconic sword, “Stormbringer”.
# Robert E. Howard’s “Conan the Barbarian”. The source of heroic fantasy the same way Tolkien’s LotR was the source of epic/high fantasy - the Barbarian class of D&D (and the image of a Barbarian in fantasy in general) all comes from Conan.
# Fritz Leiber’s “Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser”. The origin of the “Sword and Sorcery” genre (at least, as called as such), originally intended as a parody of the Conan-style heroic fantasy genre, but then promptly becoming itself a serious and admired genre-creating classic, Leiber’s works were another major inspiration for D&D (the “Thief” class was heavily inspired by the character of the Gray Mouser), and there is a good number of supplements and books in D&D entirely centered around this book series - introducing the characters of the books, the gods of Newhon, or the city of Lankhmar, into the D&D world.
# Jack Vance’s “The Dying Earth” series. The magic system of D&D was heavily influenced by how Vance re-imagined magic and spells in this unique sci-fi feeling fantasy: some spells and items are directly taken from the books (the prismatic spray, the ioun stones) and the entire concept of needing to “re-learn” or “re-charge” a spell once it is cast is the Dying Earth magic system (called by some “Vancian Magic”).
# H.P. Lovecraft’s work (especially anything tied to the “Cthulhu Mythos”). Lovecraft’s brand of eldritch horror and alien fantasy has also been a big influence over the creatures and deities of early D&D - to the point that the various gods of the Cthulhu Mythos were included as one of the pantheons that could be used in the early editions of D&D (alongside other pantheons such as the gods of Newhon from Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser, or the gods of the Conan world).
# Gary Gygax, one of the creators of D&D, also listed other authors as direct influence for his game, but given I am less familiar with them I will just list them here: Fletcher Pratt (I think it might be his “Harold Shea” series, quite famous in the fantasy genre), L. Sprague de Camp, Edgar Rice Burroughs (the creator of some of the most famous American fictional characters, such as John Carter of Mars, or Tarzan) and A. Merritt.
(Finally, not a literary work, but a series of movies that also influenced early D&D: the “Sinbad” movies of the mid-20th century. If you look through the creatures, monsters and illustrations of early editions D&D you’ll find several references to movies such as “The 7th Voyage of Sinbad“ or “The Golden Voyage of Sinbad”)

Various Authors - The Dragon #15 (June 1978)
A great wraparound cover really makes this issue stand out from the previous ones, Dragon is getting more and more professional looking as the issues go on. We get articles on the magic that Dragons can practice with a suggested variant rules article as well as two small column on damage caused by pits and random events that can occur at settlements and villages, like droughts, border raids and so forth.
The humorous columns continue with the Monty Hall series, which I again find pretty dull. A table for random wandering monsters and another humorous article on good D&D preparation take up the middle part of the magazine. More usefully, however, we get Gary Gygax explaining differences in spell areas of effect because of the way in which scales change from dungeon to wilderness maps. Speaking of wilderness we also get some tables to randomize weather in the wilderness.
The rest of the magazine is taken up with articles on other games, fiction and the two regular comic strips, this time with a full page panel for Trampier's Wormy. Worth noting that the main fiction piece here is a Harold Shea story by L. Sprague de Camp. Good stuff.

New Post has been published on Harold Gross: The 5a.m. Critic
New Post has been published on https://literaryends.com/hgblog/mission-impossible-dead-reckoning-part-one/
Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One
[3 stars]
While this boasts some of the biggest and most unrelenting action of the MI franchise it also, surprisingly, has the second weakest script of the series so far (only topped by MI 2). And I say “surprisingly” because it was another co-written and directed by Christopher McQuarrie (Top Gun: Maverick).
This latest installment… or should I say down-payment given the nature of the two-part tale… isn’t bad. In fact it has a thrill a minute and was quite prescient about the world. It was already in the can just months ahead of ChatGPT becoming the seismic market and political hot potato that continues to rock the world. In fact, it would have preceded it if it had hit theaters as planned before the pandemic. However, that also means they spend a great deal of time explaining things that, now, everyone knows and thinks they understand. It makes the movie a bit exposition heavy, to be sure.
But all that aside, the truth is that MI has been getting steadily darker for the last few movies. Much like Bond, the man at the center of the stories is getting worn down and losing those around him. The humor has drained out of the stories and the reality of the fight has taken over, for better and worse. It has made the stories more realistic, but it has also leeched out much of the respite and joy that made them triumphant at the end. It is feeling a lot more like No Time to Die than, say, Octopussy.
Some of the humor gap was due to the lack of screen time for Simon Pegg (Luck) and Ving Rhames (Wendell & Wild), who have both been support, brains, and comic relief for the series. Rebecca Ferguson (Silo) had more humor, or at least light-hearted interaction with Tom Cruise (Top Gun: Maverick) than either of the two making for an odd rhythm. And Haley Atwell (Christopher Robin), who finally got the spy-ish role she has deserved, likewise carried that aspect of the story.
The women, interestingly, are the real center of movie, holding it all up. Even Pom Klementieff (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Thunder Force), with a smaller role, added significantly to that aspect.
But our big bads were an odd mix. Esai Morales was very effective as the cold representative of destruction. But Vanessa Kirby ( Hobbs & Shaw) reprising her role was a bit more confused and unfocused. Perhaps we’ll get more in part 2 of the story to understand her conflicts? And even the “good” side of the equation, read Cruises’ own folks, were less than crisp in their actions and motivations. Shea Whigham (Vice) clearly has a personal beef that isn’t yet revealed. And Cary Elwes (We Don’t Belong Here) was, well almost laughable in his role as Director. How much of this came down to late editing of stories versus just weak directing on McQuarrie’s part is hard to pull apart, but some of it lands at his feet to be sure.
Ultimately, this is a great ride with a lot of open questions and wounds to be resolved in the second film. Did it need to be two films? Probably not. One 3 hour installment probably could have done it by trimming several of the many, many, many chase scenes and several discussions. But I am willing to reassess when I see the true ending of a clever saga. So do see this if you like the MI universe, but know that you’re not going to feel sated at the end, only primed for the next sitting.

The Shea-Butter Boogie
Against the new Pork Chop Intellectuals of the Digital Age
Porkchop pseudo-intellectualism has been a huge problem in Black America for decades. In fact, in 1967 (the very year I was born) Harold Cruse essentially complained about the exact same thing in an entire book, entitled The Crisis of the Negro Intellectual. A few passages stand out:

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (Rouben Mamoulian, 1931; Victor Fleming, 1941)
Fredric March and Miriam Hopkins (1931)
Cast: Fredric March, Miriam Hopkins, Rose Hobart, Holmes Herbert, Halliwell Hobbes, Edgar Norton, Tempe Pigott. Screenplay: Samuel Hoffenstein, Percy Heath, based on a novel by Robert Louis Stevenson. Cinematography: Karl Struss. Art direction: Hans Dreier. Film editing: William Shea.
Spencer Tracy and Ingrid Bergman (1941)
Cast: Spencer Tracy, Ingrid Bergman, Lana Turner, Donald Crisp, Ian Hunter, Barton MacLane, C. Aubrey Smith, Peter Godfrey, Sara Allgood. Screenplay: John Lee Mahin, based on a novel by Robert Louis Stevenson and a screenplay by Samuel Hoffenstein and Percy Heath. Cinematography: Joseph Ruttenberg. Art direction: Cedric Gibbons. Film editing: Harold F. Kress. Music: Franz Waxman.
MGM's 1941 Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a virtual remake of Paramount's 1931 version of the Robert Louis Stevenson novella: John Lee Mahin's screenplay is clearly based on the earlier one by Samuel Hoffenstein and Percy Heath. The similarities are so obvious that MGM, having bought the rights to Paramount's version, tried to buy up all prints of it.* Seeing the two versions back-to-back is a pretty good lesson in how things changed in Hollywood over ten years: For one thing, the Production Code went into effect, which means that the "bad girl" Ivy (Miriam Hopkins in 1931, Ingrid Bergman in 1941) ceased to be a prostitute and became a barmaid. Hopkins shows a good deal more skin than does Bergman, and in the 1931 we see the scars on her back, inflicted by Hyde's whip, whereas in 1941 we see only the shocked reaction of those who view them. As for Jekyll/Hyde (Fredric March in 1931, Spencer Tracy in 1941), the earlier version gives us a lustier Jekyll -- we sense that he's so eager to marry the virtuous Muriel Carew (Rose Hobart) because he wants to go to bed with her. Tracy's Jekyll indulges in a little more PDA with his fiancée, Beatrix Emery (Lana Turner), than her Victorian paterfamilias (Donald Crisp) would like, but there's no sense of urgency in his attraction to her. It's widely known that the original casting had Turner playing Ivy and Bergman as Beatrix, but that Bergman wanted to play the bad girl for a change -- it's clearly the better part -- and persuaded director Victor Fleming to make the switch. March's Hyde is a fearsome, simian creature with a gorilla's skull and great uneven teeth; Tracy's is just a man with a lecherous gaze, unruly hair, bushy eyebrows, and what looks like an unfortunately oversize set of false teeth. March's Jekyll -- pronounced to rhyme with "treacle" -- is a troubled intellectual, whereas Tracy's -- pronounced to rhyme with "heckle" -- is a genial Harley Street physician who genuinely wants to find a cure for bad behavior. March won an Oscar for his performance, and he does lose his sometimes rather starchy manner in the role. Tracy, I think, was just miscast, though in real life he had his own Jekyll/Hyde problems: The everyman persona hid a mean drunk.
*MGM did the same thing to Thorold Dickinson's 1940 film of Gaslight when it made its own version, directed by George Cukor, in 1944, but didn't succeed in either case.

If you could make all your friends read one book, what book and why?
Hi, friend! ♥
Oh, this is a hard question. Both because I'm generally very persuasive (and/or my friends are very patient, bless) and they end up reading whatever I recommend, and because there are SO MANY BOOKS that I think everyone should read.
I'm going to go with the first title that popped into my mind, which is unsurprisingly The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers: the closest a novel has made adult-me feel to that sweet, irreplaceable feeling of making friends with make-believe characters you only get when you're a child.
I love so many things about it: the character-driven, episodic structure, the cleverness of the world-building, the way aliens feel properly, well, alien but their cultures and mores make total sense, and the fact that the author approached this with such a strong "cisheteronormativity? don't know her" attitude. I recommend the sequels as well (reflections on mortality and what makes us human? space racism? found family, so much found family?) but this book, to me, is a staple.
Also I'm very grateful to it because it's the reason me and @dawl-and-dapple are friends, so cheers to that!
(I am holding an AMA, send me your questions!)
#i actually have a spreadsheet with book recs if anyone's interested#i should update it#more books i believe everyone should read: the princess bride; the harold shea series by sprague de camp & pratt;#asimov's the caves of steel; boy by roald dahl;#g.d. robert's shantaram#something actually written in this millennium (gasp!): nick eames' kings of the wild#which everyone who loves dnd should read#i have many other favourites but these are the ones that are not just specifically tailored to my interests#i am reluctant to add zelazny's amber series because i adore it but i haven't read it in a good ten years and i feel it hasn't aged well#i am both in a 'aaaah so many books' and in a 'i have suddenly forgotten every good book i've read' state of mind#thanks for the question chrome! ♥#:D#asks#catalists

do you have any good Catholic resources for learning about the faith etc, especially Mary? I’ve been Catholic my whole life and went to Catholic primary school but I feel super lost and want to relearn everything from the ground up 🤧
Straight up: the Catholic Catechism. This book cannot be understated. My RCIA director gave me a copy when I became a Catechumen and it quickly became my number one resource for learning any and all things about Catholic doctrine and dogma. It’s a BIG BOOK though, so I recommend reading a little bit every day as to not feel overwhelmed. I also watched videos after reading through each section for clarity purposes.
Besides the CCC, of course I recommend the Bible ;D
I really believe that the Bible and the CCC are the most fundamental things you need when learning about the faith.
But if you are looking for additional resources, I recommend looking into the writings of the early Church Fathers, which you can look here for.
Also Catholic Answers has been *chef’s kiss* perfect for me since I came into Catholicism literally knowing nothing.
Here’s a list of books that I have either read or heard about that are good for those interested in Catholicism (and Mary, in your case):
Rome Sweet Home: Our Journey to Catholicism by Scott Hahn and Kimberly Hahn
What Catholics Really Believe—Setting the Record Straight: 52 Answers to Common Misconceptions About the Catholic Faith by Karl Keating
Fundamentals of Faith: Essays in Christian Apologetics by Peter Kreeft
Catholicism: A Journey to the Heart of the Faith by Bishop Robert Barron
Introduction to Christianity by Pope Benedict XVI
Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist: Unlocking the Secrets of the Last Supper by Brant Pitre
By What Authority? An Evangelical Discovers Catholic Tradition by Mark Shea
Walking with Mary: A Biblical Journey from Nazareth to the Cross by Edward Sri
Signs of Life: 40 Catholic Customs and Their Biblical Roots by Scott Hahn
Hail, Holy Queen by Scott Hahn
Why We’re Catholic by Trent Horn
The Lamb’s Supper by Scott Hahn
I’m Not Being Fed by Jeff Cavins
The Fathers Know Best by Jimmy Akin
Crossing the Tiber by Steven Ray
Catholic and Christian: An Explanation of Commonly Misunderstood Catholic Beliefs by Alan Schreck
Why Do Catholics Do That?: A Guide to the Teachings and Practices of the Catholic Church by Kevin Orlin Johnson
The Imitation of Christ by Thomas à Kempis, Aloysius Croft, and Harold Bolton
An Introduction to the Devout Life by St. Francis De Sales
Introduction to Mary: The Heart of Marian Doctrine and Devotion by Dr. Mark Miravalle
Behold Your Mother: A Biblical and Historical Defense of the Marian Doctrines by Tim Staples
Mary and the Fathers of the Church: The Blessed Virgin Mary in Patristic Thought Luigi Gambero
True Devotion to Mary: with Preparation for Total Consecration by St. Louis De Montfort
