And Vampire: The Masquerade! (and presumably the new version Vampire: The Requiem as well). I really love reading those books, I have about ten of them even though I have no intention of ever playing it (seems to me it would be a bit emo for my tastes). Actually I never play RPGs at all, but I do enjoy reading the books.

Edit: I mean the RPG rule/sourcebooks, not the novels - I read half a V:tM novel once and wasn't impressed. Seems to me the guys who write the RPGs are absolutely top of the line in their writing skill (after all, it's often considered one of the best RPGs around), whereas the kind of author who would accept that kind of franchise for a novel would, I suspect, not be the best. I don't know how fair that is though.
