Seems that way. Lots of great fantasy out there besides Tolkien and Martin.

Any shows? I don't read novels that much.

I think op means there's a lot of existing ip that could be used to make new content.

I can't think of a single one recently that was great, sadly.

I think the medium I most enjoyed fantasy through recently, apart from books, was Graphic Audio.

If that's the case, I think I should gain my share of fantasy through the books too.

The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant. A tad depressing. The Belgariad. Lots of humor.

I really have to admit that I stopped reading a lot of fantasy. Piers Anthony, almost anything, but especially Xanth.

Terry Pratchett is amazing fantasy writer.

David Eddings! His early stuff is great. I kind of lost interest when it became "David and Leigh Eddings" though. Everyone was coupled up and using too many pet names.
