The most immediate influences upon AD&D were probably de Camp & Pratt, REH, Fritz
Leiber, Jack Vance, HPL, and A. Merritt; but all of the above authors, as well as many
not listed, certainly helped to shape the form of the game. For this reason, and for the
hours of reading enjoyment, I heartily recommend the works of these fine authors to
you.
