Thank you for this. I don't think I could read a RPG manual but I do like the novels.
I think it may have been me that posted about novels based on RPGs or at least I have made posts about it because I've never really played an RPG -excluding an occasional try at a video game- and really don't desire to -what little free time I have, I use to read.
I have read the DragonLance Chronicles trilogy and a few Warhammer and WH40K novels. I love the idea of a huge shared fantasy world, where many different stories can occur but not necessarily related to each other except for that same world.
That said, I just get weird feeling when I read RPG novels that I don't belong. Does that make sense?

At 30 something years old I still find it read cool to read through a new edition of the D&D monster manuals.
I dont really care about rules, stats and mechanics its just cool to read the descriptions and little bits of short fiction.

I havent played D&D, White wolf RP stuff or any games workshop products in years but I still buy manuals that interest me just for the "fluff" rather than the "crunch".

I never really played all that much, but I had (have) a pretty extensive collection of primarily 1st & 2nd edition AD&D stuff that I still enjoy thumbing through -- primarily adventure modules and supplements moreso than rulebooks. I miss the Golden Age of the Boxed Set (late 1980s - mid-1990s) -- nothing better than a nice box with two or three booklets and a couple of poster-sized maps.

(I did just crate up & ship a box to Noble Knight, but used it for store credit; maybe it's time to try to recreate my Traveller little black book collection. Stupid flood.)
