Lokking for a name of a 2 books

I am trying to get the titles to 2 books that I read in the late 70's early 80's. Here is the bases of each

1. group of people playing D&D then get sent into the world they have been playin with there knowledge of where they came from and also the the knowledge of there charaters. Think there was 3 books to it.

2. Had to do with swords of the gods and they were cast to the lands the gods roamed the land loking for there swords and people that had the swords took on the gods personality. I know not much to go on with this one.

Thaks for any help with titles.

Did one of the characters eventually "invent" gunpowder?

yes he did. Do you know the book?

I read the entire series when I was in Jr. high. That was over 20 years ago and I'll be damned if I can remember the name of it.

Damn it! I have all three books in Kentucky in storage. The girls getting raped and the guys having to listen to it till the dwarf could berserker rage after everyone was done always stuck with me and was hard to read. Give me a few and I'll remember what they were called.

If im not mistaken is the "Guardians of the Flame" series. I got all 3 books somewhere. I think they also had some expansions also. It was cool how the slavers imitated gunpowder by using magic water or something, cant remember to well, read the damn thing while i was in highschool ! lol

That's was the one!

I got way to many books, 400+ last count...those were the good ol days when i had time to read 2-3 books a week, now i barely have time to read the news

Wife been circling like a shark waiting for just the time to throw my collection away !

You are right that is the name. I just finished the newest Wheel of time book and was thinking of some of the books I had read years ago and could not remeber it,. Thought it would be nice to go back and read some of the books that got me started off in Sci-fi....

If you never read the DeathGate Cycle books check them out, awsone series, one of my favorites

Yea it was a great series. for the more futer sci-fi The Vorkosigan Saga was one of my favorite. telling the store from boy to old man.

The one with the swords. Id the gods have names from greek mythology?D

That's them! I believe there were six or seven books in the series.

Yea the god were from Greek Mythology.

Thats the Lost Swords "the first triad" if im not mistaken, by Saberhagen. got those too, lol.

Anyone ever read the Wizard War series by Hugh Cook ? Very obscure, but what a great author.

Bazil BrokeTail series by Christopher Rowley is just amazing if you can get your hands on them. I own the full series if anyone would like to borrow them a book @ a time heh.

It took me 3 years of searching to make it happen but man it was worth it.
