Re: (TFT) fiction ?

["David O. Miller" <davidomiller@verizon.net>]

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.
