Well, I would immediately recognize "Spencer Cooley" and can correlate the name with the products. However, I am shocked by how few people have heard of the Enchiridion of Mystic Music. It's one of my favorite PDF's and I have it printed out in the binder with my PC.

Use the "search" feature... you'll find some references to Mr. Ibach in the Enchiridion of Mystic Music. As to "why so few people have heard of it," well, the PDF market ain't exactly huge.

I use it fairly often. (Boy, I bet that is a shock with my screenname.) Still, I am not sure I would qualify you as "famous". Certainly well liked, but not famous.

Aw, shucks, I'm well-liked.

Nah, I'm not famous. I'm sure a few people know OF me... and I hope people who know my stuff react positively to my name.

But at the end of the day, the only people whose approval I'm desparate for when they hear my name are my wife & kids. I want my kids to think I'm the best person ever.

I recognized his name but could tell you what books he's written without looking it up.

I remember him first as a reviewer with a reputation for giving high scores (nothing wrong with that), and then he and I believe his wife Dawn wrote AEG's Toolkit.

 

[dropshadow]

Him and his wife did a few articles for Dragon I think.

 

[Eosin the Red]

Yep, he did some reviews, wrote some stuff, and while I haven't been there in a while he had a spiffy website. His wife, as mentioned, also wrote some stuff - mainly for Dragon.

Jeff Ibach has been a writer, editor, and managing editor on many of AEG's "one word" d20 books.

 

[tensen]

He is:
resident of New Jersey [don't hold that against him.]
someone with two children
husband to Dawn Ibach
an extremely skilled Dungeon Master
a horder of endless minis
award-winning owner of the most wonderous play area for gamers.[TM] (Having a stocked refrigerator and everything but the sink and the bathroom in the game area has its advantages.) [I may have neglected to actually present him with the award... but it is well deserved.]
Possibly could be considered one of the DMs with the most stocked collection of gaming material available at his fingertips.
Award-winning writer of AEG's Toolbox [ENnie award... and the ENnie is on a shelf in the above meantioned gaming room.]
Along with his wife, Dawn Ibach, has written numerous Dragon Magazine articles.
Held various roles on AEG's products.
Highly proliferant reviewer of d20 products. (DM's Haven. And formerly Gamer's Realm pseudo-staff reviewer.)
Holder of the ENWorld nick: DM_Jeff

That's funny. I don't know Jeff Ibach but if you say DM_Jeff my first thought is "Oh. that guy."

 

[Voadam]

I've read a bunch of his online gaming product reviews.

I want my kids to think I'm the best person ever.

So, what does your wife think of that? Is she the "No"-Parent and you're the "Yes"-Parent?

Seriously: Could you post a link to that Music book? It sounds interesting, and I'd like to see what it is about, and maybe buy it.
