A lot of Dungeons & Dragons games start in an inn. Even the ones that don’t soon arrive at one. It makes sense: one of the first things the hobbits do after setting out in The Lord of the Rings is stop at the Inn of the Prancing Pony. And like the Prancing Pony, the default inn from a game of D&D comes with a hooded stranger in the corner as a standard part of the package. He’s practically furniture.

I don’t disagree a whit, though they’re more nostalgia for me than topping my fantasy list. FWIW, Robert Asprin’s on the wacky side of that upper tier, and Piers Anthony is closer to center, but I hear you that Dragonlance as a whole is a litmus for that style. 🤘🏼
