Oriental Adventures and CotSQ are both fantastic books though and I only see his name on it. That seemed odd to me (cause both are fantastic, while usually the best books seem to have multiple authors), so I voted for him.Having said that, I do really like a lot of the Cook/Reynolds/Cordell stuff. It's just that when I read something they did on their own, I sometimes have a feeling of 'eeeehh???' (some of the Psionics book stuff, Monte writes a lot of weird stuff and those Bonds of Magic books by Sean tend to drift between ordinary and great stuff (though he gets much kudos for apparantly being heavily involved in the FRCS). Not that OA doesn't have a lot of eh? moments, but maybe my tolerance for them is greater in a setting like that.Anyway, I should probably spend a bit less on all these books, that'll save me having to write out useless opinions <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />.</blockquote>
