# Appendix N The Appendix N is perhaps one of the most influential cataloguing of resources that now forms the basis for nearly every [[TTRPG System]] that exists today. Originally published in the AD&D Dungeon Masters Guide, it listed the books that directly inspired [[Gary Gygax]] in creating [[Dungeons and Dragons|Dungeons & Dragons]]. I have decided that primarily in [[2026]], I will make this one of my reading goals. That is assuming I do not end up finishing it beforehand. Some of the books on the list I have read, but it has been many years and this time I will be reading them through the eyes of a TTRPG player, game master, and [[monster theory]] enthusiast. Additionally, [the](https://traversefantasy.blogspot.com/?m=1) [blogosphere](https://prismaticweekly.substack.com/p/blogwagon-announcement-appendicitis) [at](https://elmc.at/appendix-elmcat/) large have begun challenging each other to add their own to this list, or to make their own Appendix. I will be adding mine to this list as time goes on. **Resources** - [Appendix N](https://mitpress.mit.edu/9781913689933/appendix-n/), revised and expanded edition. - My local library for what is not included in the above book. ## Unread - [ ] Anderson, Poul - *The Broken Sword* (1954) - [ ] Anderson, Poul - *The High Crusade* (1960) - [ ] Anderson, Poul - *Three Hearts and Three Lions* (1953) - [ ] Bellairs, John - *The Face in the Frost* (1969) - [ ] Brackett, Leigh - *Sea-Kings of Mars and Otherworldly Stories* - [ ] Brown, Fredric - *From these Ashes: The Complete Short SF of Fredric Brown* - [ ] Burroughs, Edgar Rice - Mars series - *A Princess of Mars* (1912) - [ ] Burroughs, Edgar Rice - Mars series - *The Gods of Mars* (1914) - [ ] Burroughs, Edgar Rice - Mars series - *The Warlord of Mars* (1918) - [ ] Burroughs, Edgar Rice - Mars series - *Thuvia, Maid of Mars* (1920) - [ ] Burroughs, Edgar Rice - Mars series - *The Chessmen of Mars* (1922) - [ ] Burroughs, Edgar Rice - Mars series - *The Master Mind of Mars* (1928) - [ ] Burroughs, Edgar Rice - Mars series - *A Fighting Man of Mars* (1931) - [ ] Burroughs, Edgar Rice - Mars series - *Swords of Mars* (1936) - [ ] Burroughs, Edgar Rice - Mars series - *Synthetic Men of Mars* (1940) - [ ] Burroughs, Edgar Rice - Mars series - *Llana of Gathol* (1948) - [ ] Burroughs, Edgar Rice - Mars series - *John Carter of Mars* (1964) - [ ] Burroughs, Edgar Rice - Pellucidar series - *At the Earth's Core* (1914) - [ ] Burroughs, Edgar Rice - Pellucidar series - *Pellucidar* (1923) - [ ] Burroughs, Edgar Rice - Pellucidar series - *Tanar of Pellucidar* (1928) - [ ] Burroughs, Edgar Rice - Pellucidar series - *Tarzan at the Earth's Core* (1929) - [ ] Burroughs, Edgar Rice - Pellucidar series - *Back to the Stone Age* (1937) - [ ] Burroughs, Edgar Rice - Pellucidar series - *Land of Terror* (1944) - [ ] Burroughs, Edgar Rice - Pellucidar series - *Savage Pellucidar* (1963) - [ ] Burroughs, Edgar Rice - Venus series - *Pirates of Venus* (1934) - [ ] Burroughs, Edgar Rice - Venus series - *Lost on Venus* (1935) - [ ] Burroughs, Edgar Rice - Venus series - *Carson of Venus* (1939) - [ ] Burroughs, Edgar Rice - Venus series - *Escape on Venus* (1946) - [ ] Burroughs, Edgar Rice - Venus series - *The Wizard of Venus* (1970) - [ ] Carter, Lin - World's End series - *The Warrior of World's End* (1974) - [ ] Carter, Lin - World's End series - *The Enchantress of World's End* (1975) - [ ] Carter, Lin - World's End series - *The Immortal of World's End* (1976) - [ ] Carter, Lin - World's End series - *The Barbarian of World's End* (1977) - [ ] Carter, Lin - World's End series - *The Pirate of World's End* (1978) - [ ] Carter, Lin - World's End series - *Giant of World's End* (1969) - [ ] de Camp, L.
