Nightwick Abbey's Appendix N

This does not represent my "full" Appendix N, and indeed many will note some standards, like REH, are missing.  Nightwick Abbey's is a collection of those sources whose tone I think best matches what I'm trying to accomplish.  The Appendix N in the DMG is perfectly fine for a more general education in D&D, and that is not the purpose of this list.

Some will no doubt find my inclusion of non-literary sources as heretical.  I don't really give a damn.  It will only be the first among many heresies which appear on this blog, and I'm perfectly fine with that.

It is entirely likely that I will add more as I read more, remember things I neglected to include, etc.  If I do so I will edit this entry and include a note about it in a future post.  The list is intentionally small both to account for later additions and to make sure the tone is consistent.
