Clark Ashton Smith

To The Daemon

(with some liberties taken)

Tell me many tales,

O benign maleficent daemon

but tell me none that I have ever heard

or have even dreamt of...

Nay, tell me not of anything

that lies between the bourns of time

or the limits of space:

For I am... weary of all recorded years

and charted lands;

and the isles that are westward of Cathay,

and the sunset realms if Ind,

are not remote enough

to be made

the abiding-place of my conceptions;

and Atlantis is over-new

for my thoughts to sojourn there,

and Mu itself has gazed upon the sun

in aeons that are too recent.

Tell me many tales,

but let them be of things

that are past the lore of legend

and of which there are no myths

in our world or any world adjoining.

Tell me, if you will,

of the years when the moon was young,

with siren-rippled seas

and mountains that were zoned with flowers

from base to summit;

tell me of the planets

grey with eld,

of the worlds whereon no mortal astronomer

has ever looked.

and whose mystic heavens

and horizons have given pause...

Tell me of the vaster blossoms

within whose cradling chalices

a woman could sleep;

of the seas of fire

that beat on strands

of ever-enduring ice;

of perfumes

that can give

eternal slumber in a breath;

of eyeless titans...

and beings that wander

in the green light

of the twin suns

of azure and orange.

Tell me tales

of inconceivable fear

and unimaginable love,

in orbs whereto our sun

is a nameless star,

or unto which its rays,

have never reached.

Appendix N

Appendix N: (From Gygax's DMG)

Inspirational And Educational Reading

Inspiration for all of the fantasy work I have done stems from the love my father showed when I was a lad, for he sent many hours telling me stories he made up as he went along, tales of cloaked old men who could grant wishes, of magic rings and enchanted swords, or wicked sorcerors and dauntless swordsmen. Then too, countless hundreds of comic books went down, and the long-gone EC ones certainly had their effect. Science fiction, fantasy, and horror movies were a big influence, in fact, all of us tend to get ample helpings of fantasy when we are very young, from fairy tales such as those written by the brothers Grimm and Andrew Lang. This often leads to reading books of mythology, paging through bestiaries, and consultation of compilations of the myths of various lands and peoples. Upon such a base I built my interest in fantasy, being an avid reader of all science fiction and fantasy literature since 1950. The following authors were of particular inspiration to me. In some cases I cite specific works, in others, I simply recommend all their fantasy writing to you. From such sources, as well as just about any other imaginative writing or screenplay you will be able to pluck kernels from which grow the fruits of exciting campaigns. Good reading!

Inspirational Reading:

Anderson, Poul. THREE HEARTS AND THREE LIONS; THE HIGH CRUSADE, The BROKEN SWORD

Bellairs, John. THE FACE IN THE FROST

Brackett, Leigh.

Brown, Fredric.

Burroughs, Edgar Rice. "Pellucidar" Series: Mars Series: Venus Series

Carter, Lin. "World's End" Series

de Camp, L. Sprague. LEST DARKNESS FALL; FALLIBLE FIEND; et al.

de Camp & Pratt. "Harold Shea" Series; CARNELIAN CUBE

Derleth, August.

Dunsany, Lord.

Farmer, P.J. "The World of Tiers Series; et al.

Fox, Gardner. "Kothar" Series; "Kyrik" Series; et al.

Howard, R.E. "Conan" Series

Lanier, Sterling. HIERO"S JOURNEY

Leiber, Fritz. "Fafhrd & Gray Mouser" Series; et al.

Lovecraft, H.P.

Merritt, A. CREEP, SHADOW, CREEP; MOON POOL; DWELLERS IN THE MIRAGE; et al.

Moorcock, Michael. STORMBRINGER; STEALER OF SOULS; "Hawkmoon" Series (esp. the first three books)

Norton, Andre.

Offut, Andrew J., editor SWORDS AGAINST DARKNESS III

Pratt, Fletcher. BLUE STAR; et al.

Saberhagen, Fred. CHANGELING EARTH; et al.

St. Clair, Margaret. THE SHADOW PEOPLE; SIGN OF THE LABRYS

Tolkien, J.R.R. THE HOBBIT; "Ring Trilogy"

Vance, Jack. THE EYES OF THE OVERWORLD; THE DYING EARTH; et al.

Weinbaum, Stanley.

Wellman, Manly Wade.
Williamson, Jack.

Zelazny, Roger. JACK OF SHADOWS; "Amber" Series; et al.

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