Warhammer: Fantasy world. I didn't get into 40k that much, and that world, especially in End Times before killing it off for a remaster was so vivid, morbid and satirical. Having both strategy and shooter games of a refined quality helped it too.

Other than that, MythAdventures by Robert Lynn Asprin. Isn't consistent, didn't age well, but I love to reread these books from time to time. I really liked some jokes and characters here.

I'm deep into 40k but have always wanted to delve into the fantasy side of things. Any books you'd recommend as an entry point?

You caught me without pants as I just left one desktop for another and lost my collection I torrented from rutracker (most of it is abandoned anyway). I remember Goetrik and Fenix being a funny series of books, and from the lore books something called Black Library (?) published great in-world books, including a very cool medievally stylized manual for inquisitors.

Guess it's their site: https://www.blacklibrary.com/warhammer-40000

I can produce a magnet link to both if you are interested.

I'm quite interested actually...
