Appendix N

In the back of the 1st Edition Dungeon Master's Guide, Appendix N gave aspiring referees a reading list of inspirational books for fantasy campaigns. On that list were book series such as Robert E. Howard's Conan stories, or H.P. Lovecraft's Mythos stories.

The term "Appendix N" has since then come to mean: a list of inspirational media for the author's settings, rules or stories.

On this blog, in the months and maybe years to come, I will detail and review the inspirational media that constitute my Appendix N. A non-limitative list:
