Anyone here read the Wild Card shared-world series edited by George R.R. Martin? Zelazny created and wrote one of the main characters in the series for the first 3-4 novels before he died. Him, Martin and a bunch of other fantasy and sci-fi writers had some sort of Santa Fe friend group and I guess they played a super hero rpg back in the day and the novel series came out of that game.

No I haven't. Wild Cards is an anthology series though so George RR Martin only edits it and provides a few of the stories. Reminds me a bit of Robert Asprin's Theives World series which I enjoyed way back when. Which is turn reminds me that I read the Lhankamarr series way back in the day too with FFard and the Grey Mouser.
I have of course read all of Game of Thrones, well all that he's written so far that is.

I've heard of them but I have never read any of the 'Wild Card' books.
I have read the 'Alien Speedway' books which Zelazny outlined and edited.
Between the 'Alien Speedway' books and attending Boscone once, I got a pile of Jeffrey A. Carver books.
The Carver 'Star Rigger' books influence aspects of Cody along with 'Empire Star' by Samuel R. Delaney.

I think I have read all of the Zelazny stuff except maybe Madwand. I'm certain that I read Changling, but I can't remember anything about the sequel. And all the usual series: LOTR, WoT, SoIaF, MBoF, a bit of Prachett and Anthony, some King but not Gunslinger yet. Some Leiber and Vance too. Can't think of any other fantasy off the top of my head. Must be lots more.
Edit: Just remembered the Prydain books from when I was a kid. I loved those and must have read The Book of Three a dozen times or more.
