Funny how there's a ton of good sci-fi novels but not much as far as RPGs go while it's the other way around for fantasy.
Black Company is criminally underrated.I want to be a fantasy fan, but good fantasy novels are few and far between, and there's plenty of good SF out there. Recommendations, mondblut?
Glen Cook.

There is some Night Land "fan" fiction by John C Wright that is also pretty good. I had trouble understanding Hodgson's original since the language is so antiquated and he tends to ramble.Such a shame. Fantasy can be so evocative, so powerful. Hodgson or Wolfe are completely mindblowing. Before I read Night Land I thought Lovecraft is the pinnacle of scary and eerie and uncanny. Lol, what a fool I was. Alas it seems we're stuck with magical artefacts and dragons and wizards in dark towers.
If only fantasy was still Tolkien. I like high fantasy, I don't like crap games and crap novels so that's difficult.sci fi is more varied, fantasy is still tolkien at the end of the day
I don't know much about anything but I think I, Robot from Asimov is a pretty good start. It's easy to read and pretty cool, too. It's a must-read anyway.Fantasy fag. Except for some of older books like Dune and Hitchhiker I never really got any chance to read any good scifi books, thus my lower interest on it.
A bit out of topic but if I want to get to scifi what should I read?
Sci Fi books I would recommend reading? Books by Heinlein (I liked The Moon is a harsh mistress, the Door Into Summer, Stranger in a Strange Land, Starship Troopers
Gaymes: I like both, but still prefer sci-fi/cyberpunk stuff. Same for books and movies.
If they're mixed together -- eeh, well, it could work. But I'm yet to see a good example of that.
