The Witches of Appendix N : Michael Moorcock
Michael Moorcock is easily one of the biggest influences on Dungeons & Dragons. Certainly, his contributions rival those of Howard or Tolkien in shaping the structure of the D&D multiverse. Indeed, one can barely talk about the Multiverse of D&D without invoking Moorcock.
But how do his witches fare?

Dolmenwood does some extra focus, looking at certain Lord Dunsany texts that are in Appendices N, 3, and E, and then narrowly adding modern texts like Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell and Stardust to the focused list.

Sort of like Cyberpunk Red does with its Bibliography, ignoring general adventure books in favor of seminal Cyberpunk stories like Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, Neuromancer, and Snow Crash.

I've made some reading lists from AD&D Appendix N, 5e's Appendix E, and some other games.

Based on a post from Grognardia (https://grognardia.blogspot.com/2026/01/the-original-dungeon-delver.html?m=0), I've started my delve into the inspirational media of D&D with The Moon Pool by A. Merritt, written in 1919.

It begins with a classic D&D scene, a group faced with a door that will not open and puzzling how to make it do so. And then when the door does open...

Liking Merritt's immersive description so far.

I HAVE FINISHED THE TEXT OF RETURN OF THE RIPPER!

I started #writing on 28 August 2023, so it's teken me over two years. It's over 140 pages, about 100,000 words.

The last part was #AppendixN on Inspirational Sources, which runs to 8 pages. Illustrator Oscar Zárate was kind enough to grant me permission to reprint his drawing for an article on Nicholas Hawksmoor that's in the bibliography.

Witches of Appendix N: John Bellairs
There is only one entry for John Bellairs in Gygax's Appendix N; 1969's The Face in the Frost. And even my Gary's own recounting it didn't influence D&D very much. But he said it could have.

Witches of Appendix N: Poul Anderson
It is the start of October, and time for another foundational author for D&D from Gary's Appendix N. As always with this feature, I am focusing on the witches presented in these tales.

I was inspired to start this blog because of the theme going around a lot of blogs was "Appendix N". After one of the regular players in my campaigns said one of my strengths is body horror. It's not something I strive for, so it got me thinking about my influences. They don' all make sense in that context but I am what I am.

Inspiration is a broad thing for some of us. It's hard to capture, like lightning in a bottle. What we can do is write our own Appendix N and share it.

A partial Appendix N for my mind. Media of all sorts that made me who I am.

July is a busy month, so I didn't have much time to work on my #AppendixN jam entry, but I knocked something together and I think there's some fun ideas in it. And anyway, it's PWYW, and I encourage you to pay $0 for it -- that's the whole idea.
