The plots wind up being very different, however, and perhaps even more notably, Narnia is basically a Christian allegory (though Lewis didn't like to call it that) while Pullman's works support his own atheism.

The game borrowed heavily from {{Tolkien}} (and a few other fantasy novels, such as Poul Anderson's ''Three Hearts and Three Lions''), as well as various more obscure mythologies, but had many unique elements as well. The franchise owners have ended up splitting the game rules into "trademarked material" and "open source material", and encourage others to develop derivative material based on the open source components. In addition, the owners have also licensed derivative settings that have gone on to become book or video game series enjoyed by readers who aren't necessarily fans of the pencil and paper game, including ''{{DragonLance}}'', ''{{Greyhawk}}'', ''ForgottenRealms'', ''{{Planescape}}'', ''{{Ravenloft}}'' and ''{{Spelljammer}}''.

sorry, just reread this. Not sure how to put this comment politely, but... this is entirely incorrect. On like, every level. Riot games did not buy the rights to dota. Currently nobody HAS the rights to dota. Even if there were, Riot would not need to buy them. Saying they would is like saying that Halo would need to buy rights to Counter Strike. It's ludicrous. There is no debate over who developed Dota: Eul for Dota, Guinsoo for Allstars, Ice Frog for refinment. Ho N never claimed they had a developer of Dota. They DID claim that they had permission from icefrog, but they never openly stated he was working for them (he apparently was briefly, but I digress). So... yeah. No :/ And Dota was not the first game in this genre, and league of legends was not the first company made game in the genre. look up something called "Darkness and Light" sometime. currently defunct, but... yeah. Well before League.
