This week I read "Daughter of the Empire" by Raymond E Feist and Janny Wurts. It's a political fantasy from 1987. Overall, I found it surprisingly good.
Surprisingly because I really didn't like Feist's "Magician" - I found it trope ridden and dull.

@TimmyMac I'm not going to lie, given that setup, I would probably go with Tékumel because I am both really old and perverse. Now, which edition of Tékumel I will leave to the gods of random chance. But if there was ever an old-school setting I wanted to play in, that would be the one.

Listening to Prof. Barker's recordings of Sárku chants, I'm struck by the similarity to the Sardaukar chants in Dune Part II. #Tékumel

looking towards adapting City of Carse for my games. I've had it for ages, but when I last checked it it didn't suit my campaign's mood.
Now I think I am going to have a look at it again.Will have to remove the Midkemia references though.
By the way, did you know that Reymond E. Feist's Riftwar novels started out with a #dnd campaign (which crossed over with #tekumel?)

I've just realized that already in the mimeo version of *The Empire of The Petal Throne* game there are lists of books for your adventurers to find, read and get mind blasted by. This is a few years before *Call of Cthulhu* does the same thing five or six years later. Interesting correlation!

@TardisCaptain RoleMaster is such an artefact of its era, just with the volume turned up to 11. I won't say it's shocking how much crunch there is in it, even though it goes a few steps beyond even its competitors in a crunchy age, but I will say it's shocking how fondly it's remembered by a certain segment of the #TTRPG community given how clumsy and messy it is to run, which character generation really only begins to scratch the surface of.
Flip to the random body part damage table, I dare you!
In a sense, the Chaosium BRP system is a lineal descendent of the *Master engines, which may explain part of why it is so well regarded by that same segment of the population. For all of its D100 unnecessary complication and seemingly random die choices – it's STILL deeply streamlined and improved over *Master.
The other part of why it's so well remembered is that it was the original conduit for the #Harn setting which is one of the most beautiful pieces of fantasy literature that's ever made its way to the tabletop. I would put it up there with #Tekumel and note that the Forgotten Realms are several rungs below.
History. It sure is something.
