Re: (TFT) fiction ?
I know Tom Clancy was/is a wargamer. I've been told that his first
book, "The Hunt for Red October" was loosely based around a game he had
played. Whether that's true or not I'm not 100% sure.
Of course Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman were both D&D players who
based their "Dragonlance" books around a game that they played.
Robert Asprin might have had gaming in mind when he did the "Sanctuary"
books. We did some roleplaying in that world using multiple DMs and
multiple PCs, much the same way the books were written with multiple
authors and multiple characters.

Do you know if anyone has written fiction based on or using TFT ? For
that matter, has anyone written fiction using any role playing game ?
E.G.: TFT, AD&D, Traveller, etc.
It's dawned on me that the character generation systems and the
milieus and the other rules of role playing games could be good tools
for generating characters and scenarios and encounters (respectively)
for fiction. I was wondering if anyone has thought likewise and done
it.
