Re: OT: good fantasy books
If we're taking Vampire, try checking out Vampire: The Middle Ages - it's a subset of the original Masquerade series.
It's got more of the mainstream "fantasy" feel, being actually set in the Middle Ages.
As for RPG writers and Fantasy writers, I honestly don't see why there has to be a distinction. It's not as if writers make all that much to be so specialized. At the very least, it might prove a useful springboard for aspiring writers, much like the phonebook mangas are for manga writers in Japan, or console games are becoming for musicians.
And it allows a greater body of potential writers to find a medium that plays to their particular tastes.
