David Noonan is a name I look out for, based on the mini games in Dungeon (having said which, he's a contributor to Races of Destiny ...).  Given that D20 games design IS by and large a team effort, I would tend to favour publishers:  (sometimes) WotC - recently Eberron, some of Unearthed Arcana Malhavoc Green Ronin - most recently I thought Advanced Bestiary was excellent, not necessarily innovative but taking maximum advantage of existing 3E rules Fantasy Flight (or until recently, more for the minigames than for the Legends and Lairs stuff which was only really consistent when Mearls wrote it) Paizo have to be given some credit for the Poly stuff  Outside D20 RPG, but in closely related areas: WotC again - I think they do very well to maintain interest on MtG, plus the mini game Wizkids - Monte Cook was, as I remember, the designer on Heroclix Fantasy Flight - got War of the Ring at Christmas - this and Doom are fantastic games Games Workshop  And then further out, there are genuine solo designers working on great new stuff on the "German" style games - Reiner Knizia, Klaus Teuber, Alan Moon etc.</blockquote>
