[QUOTE="Ghostwind, post: 1938479, member: 3060"] Whenever everyone's favorite lists of game designers pop up, you always see the names of the more popular and well-known people like Gary Gygax, Dave Arneson, Robin Laws, Jonathan Tweet, Monte Cook, Mike Mearls, Steve Kenson, and so forth. But what about people that have been working hard and haven't gotten the publicity that these folks have? In short, they don't have 'name appeal' yet. Pick up your d20 gaming books and spend some time reading the credits page. You will start to see some folks' names popping up time and time again. Here's a list of some designers that I feel are good and deserve some recognition and even kudos for their consistent level of quality work in the d20 field. *Ari "Mousferatu" Marmell: [url="http://www.pen-paper.net/rpgdb.php?op=showcreator&creatorid=2538"]http://www.pen-paper.net/rpgdb.php?op=showcreator&creatorid=2538[/url] *Bret "Napftor" Boyd: [url="http://www.pen-paper.net/rpgdb.php?op=showcreator&creatorid=6990"]http://www.pen-paper.net/rpgdb.php?op=showcreator&creatorid=6990[/url] *Darrin "Whisperfoot" Drader: [url="http://www.pen-paper.net/rpgdb.php?op=showcreator&creatorid=2742"]http://www.pen-paper.net/rpgdb.php?op=showcreator&creatorid=2742[/url] *Eric Cagle: [url="http://www.pen-paper.net/rpgdb.php?op=showcreator&creatorid=401"]http://www.pen-paper.net/rpgdb.php?op=showcreator&creatorid=401[/url] *James Malisewzski: [url="http://www.pen-paper.net/rpgdb.php?op=showcreator&creatorid=783"]http://www.pen-paper.net/rpgdb.php?op=showcreator&creatorid=783[/url] *Jamie Chambers: [url="http://www.pen-paper.net/rpgdb.php?op=showcreator&creatorid=870"]http://www.pen-paper.net/rpgdb.php?op=showcreator&creatorid=870[/url] *JD Wiker: [url="http://www.pen-paper.net/rpgdb.php?op=showcreator&creatorid=97"]http://www.pen-paper.net/rpgdb.php?op=showcreator&creatorid=97[/url] *Kevin Ruesch: [url="http://www.pen-paper.net/rpgdb.php?op=showcreator&creatorid=5255"]http://www.pen-paper.net/rpgdb.php?op=showcreator&creatorid=5255[/url] *Michelle Lyons: [url="http://www.pen-paper.net/rpgdb.php?op=showcreator&creatorid=2476"]http://www.pen-paper.net/rpgdb.php?op=showcreator&creatorid=2476[/url] *Mike Tresca: [url="http://www.pen-paper.net/rpgdb.php?op=showcreator&creatorid=6975"]http://www.pen-paper.net/rpgdb.php?op=showcreator&creatorid=6975[/url] *Patrick Kapera: [url="http://www.pen-paper.net/rpgdb.php?op=showcreator&creatorid=1985"]http://www.pen-paper.net/rpgdb.php?op=showcreator&creatorid=1985[/url] *Phil Reed: [url="http://www.pen-paper.net/rpgdb.php?op=showcreator&creatorid=1130"]http://www.pen-paper.net/rpgdb.php?op=showcreator&creatorid=1130[/url] *Rob Schwalb: [url="http://www.pen-paper.net/rpgdb.php?op=showcreator&creatorid=9102"]http://www.pen-paper.net/rpgdb.php?op=showcreator&creatorid=9102[/url] *Scott Bennie: [url="http://www.pen-paper.net/rpgdb.php?op=showcreator&creatorid=1910"]http://www.pen-paper.net/rpgdb.php?op=showcreator&creatorid=1910[/url] *Tim Hitchcock: [url="http://www.pen-paper.net/rpgdb.php?op=showcreator&creatorid=1857"]http://www.pen-paper.net/rpgdb.php?op=showcreator&creatorid=1857[/url] *Tom "tfk360" Knauss: [url="http://www.pen-paper.net/rpgdb.php?op=showcreator&creatorid=5262"]http://www.pen-paper.net/rpgdb.php?op=showcreator&creatorid=5262[/url] *Wil "d20 Dwarf" Upchurch: [url="http://www.pen-paper.net/rpgdb.php?op=showcreator&creatorid=5235"]http://www.pen-paper.net/rpgdb.php?op=showcreator&creatorid=5235[/url] What other authors don't get the recognition or even respect they deserve?
