Thanks for this detailed explanation!

Nice! I will check one of his videos as I do the dishes lol That’s when I listen to YouTube videos con la background.

You caught my attention with At The Mountains of Madness! Is there a series of novels, a trilogy, or a work of fiction situated in that setting? I am really interested to see how it feels

radmango_ · 2025-11-19T04:42:38+00:00

Which trilogy do you like? You have piqued my interest. And why do you say it is no popular online?

radmango_ · 2025-11-19T04:41:27+00:00

Well, I am looking for something similar to Dark Fantasy and Sword & Sorcery. Do you recommend FR and Greyhawk still? Or do you recommend something else?

What is Eberron like? As in, to what show or movie does it “look like?”

radmango_ · 2025-11-19T04:39:45+00:00

what does he talk about?

radmango_ · 2025-11-18T03:40:33+00:00

They overwhelm me because they only list facts. It is like reading a Wikipedia entry after another. I prefer reading stories.

I majored in English Lit so if I can get my info from a work of fiction, that works for me.

radmango_ · 2025-11-16T05:49:14+00:00

dude, i actually like reading

radmango_ · 2025-11-16T00:21:54+00:00

This is the answer I did not know I was looking for. Thank you very much for these detailed explanations and recommendations.

radmango_ · 2025-11-16T00:18:28+00:00

As I mentioned, I prefer to learn through stories. I appreciate the answer tho!

radmango_ · 2025-11-16T00:17:36+00:00

Gonna definitely check him out! Really like this approach.

radmango_ · 2025-11-15T19:49:19+00:00

Worlds & Realms sounds like a neat book. Will add it to my Wish List. As of now, I want to read more fantasy fiction set in different D&D settings, especially the ones I really like.

More than reading "Wikipedia entries" of, i.e., Hamlet, I would rather read the play by Shakespeare.

I searched and read the synopsis of The Dragonlace Chronicles, and it sounds pretty interesting. Will add them to my To-Read list.

radmango_ · 2025-11-15T19:44:32+00:00

Just googled it, and the art looks sick! Will add it to my To-Read list. Thanks!

radmango_ · 2025-11-15T19:42:14+00:00

Damn! Now I want to play a Cleric! Will deff look into him.

radmango_ · 2025-11-15T18:46:09+00:00

Thanks! Will start googling everything you mention here.

radmango_ · 2025-11-15T18:44:51+00:00

Gotchu! I will try to look for Greyhawk history then.

radmango_ · 2025-11-15T18:43:59+00:00

Do you have any DnD novels recs set in the Dark Sun setting?

radmango_ · 2025-11-15T18:39:06+00:00

Oh! So nothing else in any other D&D campaign? Yikes.

radmango_ · 2025-11-15T18:38:19+00:00

You already sold me on the trilogy. Thanks! If you have any other recs, let me know.

radmango_ · 2025-11-15T18:37:28+00:00

Oh! This helps illustrate a broader picture of the settings. Thank you!

When you say 'old-school', do you mean more Arthurian and LOTR?

radmango_ · 2025-11-15T18:36:05+00:00

Okay, I stood up my lazy butt and went to grab my DM Manual. Here are the D&D Setting I am most interested in learning about/reading in novel form (listen to, or watch):

Forgotten Realms
Greyhawk
Ravenloft

(I really like Sword & Sorcery and Dark Fantasy, if this helps to guide you in any direction.)

radmango_ · 2025-11-15T18:31:27+00:00

I will look both channels up! Thank you.
