I'm a great fan of fantasy books, and after completing the Robin Hobb "Liveship Trader" series this weekend, I have to wonder why the (RPG) gaming industry doesn't make much more use of talented established authors' works as storylines. I often see laments in the forums about poor story lines (I always enjoy a game more myself with a good storyline!). With all the huge amounts of money invested into games surely there would be enough budget for this to be possible?
