OT:An Observation

[Randallw]

I gave up reading such books. TSR (or WotC, or whatever) churns out such books continuously. They just get first time authors to write books without knowing much of the continuity, or at best D&D players. My favourite Fantasy writer, David Gemmell, refers to such books with Bearded Dwarfs, slim elves and Orcs (LotR rippoffs) as "PixieS**T".

Edit: Has anyone noticed the Similarity between "Battle beyond the Stars" and "The Magnificent Seven". I'm not sure but I have my suspicions. . Now I mentione it, they both have a coincidental resemblance to "The Seven Samurai". I wonder
