authors

I had to go with Wiess/hickman combo. But there are a lot of good authors so the choice was hard. I really liked the modules kings fstival and queens harvest by carl sargent. I even went to the work to convert them to 2e then 3e!

keep up the good work - all of you.

I went with Jeff Grubb. The 1E MotP is still my all-time favorite book. And he's a fellow Purdue Alum.

Gygax is near the top, but more for his older stuff than the new. Let's just say I read several reviews of his d20 products before I buy them.

Bill and Clark are great.

Monte Cook, well, most of his stuff just doesn't fit with what I want to do in my campaigns, so I really don't care for him. He is obvioulsy very talented, but I just don't gush about him like several posters here do constantly. (Go ahead, label me a heretic....)

Gahh! I'm the only one who voted for Clark and Bill? Where are all of you Necrophiliacs....I mean Necromaniacs?

We're here (the Necromaniacs, at least), but we were only allowed one choice on the poll.

Whoever just wrote the Complete Guide To Drow (Natural 20 Press) made me wet my pants. That has to count for something.

My vote goes to Sean K Reynolds. I've never read a product, article or web enhancement from him where I didn't find something I could use in my campaign.

It's too hard to pick just one - and each author has multiple titles under their belt, some of it shared credit. There really isn't anyone on that list whose work I haven't liked all the time or at some time, even if in some cases its only just one title.

I finally chose Chris Pramas because I've really enjoyed his recent work.

 

[Virginia Wilde]

I like ME. Because I know what's balanced for My game. Because I can control the spells the players know/have access to. Because I have situations in My game that may be different. And because I'm a pretty good writer.

 

[Orias]

Big Pappa Greenwood.

Jon Tweet and Rob Heinsoo.
