DragonlanceRavenloftPharaohRahasiaAnd so on and so forth.While more commonly associated with being an author, Tracy Hickman was one of the old greats when it comes to game design.  He's come up with two great classic TSR settings (Dragonlance and Ravenloft), and written a ton of modules to boot.  Dragonlance completely reinvented how we look at RPGs, changing the focus from dungeons to dragons, from dungeon crawling to epic role-playing.Add to the fact that many (if not all) of his old modules are considered classics, and that Dragonlance and Ravenloft have been around for years (20 years for DL!).Game designers like Monte Cook, Bruce Cordell, Steve Kenson, etc. etc. are all quite good and quite inventive in their own right.  Yet it takes someone truly inventive to make you look at RPGs in a new light.</blockquote>
