Mike's Appendix N Addendum!

Keeping up with the meme going around (and this list is not very organized or complete):


Authors
:
Anybody who wrote for Weird Tales.
J.R.R. Tolkein
C.S. Lewis
Edgar Rice Burroughs
Edgar Allan Poe
Michael Moorcock
Ramsey Campbell
L. Frank Baum
Lin Carter
Sir John Mandeville


Films:
Conan the Barbarian
Hawk the Slayer
The Ator Movies
The Deathstalker movies
The Sword and the Sorcerer
The Warrior and the Sorceress
Excalibur
Equinox
The Evil Dead trilogy
Countless Hercules/Goliath/Machiste movies
Yor the Hunter from the Future
B-movies galore


Cartoons:
Dungeons & Dragons
He-man and the Masters of the Universe
She Ra Princess of Power
Thundercats
Blackstar
Thundarr the Barbarian
Galtar and the Golden Lance
The Herculoids
Visionaries
Inhumanoids

Comic Books:
The Conan adaptations (Marvel and Dark Horse)
The Warlord
Arion, Lord of Atlantis
Arak, Son of Thunder
Skull the Slayer
The TSR/DC comic books of the late 80s-early 90s
Dagar the Invincible
Mighty Samson
Turok, Son of Stone (original series)

As I said, this is incomplete. Regarding the cartoons, I am a child of the 80s. Many of the ideas I have used in Fantasy RPG games have been "borrowed" from cartoons. Also notice the amount of bad movies and such on my list. I am of the firm belief that we can learn as much if not more from our failures than our victories.

See ya later
