Re: Gygax Adventures: Tolkien Towns and Moorcock Dungeons
Michael Moorcock acknowledges Poul Anderson's fantasy novels as a major influence on his own work. He especially admires the Broken Sword, but also likes Three Hearts and Three Lions.
The Dungeon Fantasy RPG incorporates the notion of a cosmic struggle between Good and Evil, but doesn't do much with the moral ambiguity inherent in a cosmic struggle between Law and Chaos. Part of Moorcock's approach was to depict Law as being just as undesirable as Chaos. Law is depicted as intolerance, sterility, and authoritarianism.
