[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 7676783, member: 5834"] Who do you think usually receives the Best Picture Oscar? [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academy_Award_for_Best_Picture"]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academy_Award_for_Best_Picture[/URL] Considered the most important award at the Academy Awards. The Weinstein Brothers Jerry Bruckheimer Aaron Spelling Michael Mann (Before he became a major director) Don Simpson (Bruckheimer's Partner) And even the creative often produce without laying a hand on the final product other than to approve. Is that unimportant? Ridley and Tony Scott started their own production company and produced films they did not direct or write. Spielberg, Geffen, and Katzenberg formed DreamWorks. Spielberg didn't always work on the animated films. Spielberg helped produce The Transformers without directing or writing it. Don't the WotC employees also write product as well? Suddenly because they're not 100% involved in every project, they don't get credit? Crawford and Mearls both write product? So when they choose quality freelancers to do product, they deserve no credit? I don't agree with you. Producing is incredibly important. Sure, creative types get into production. They love making stuff whether producing, directing, acting, or what not. Why is it any different for RPG publishers? They love to write product, publish it, and work with freelancers on product they don't write themselves. They still deserve credit. On a side note, go and put your money on the line producing a work. See how it feels. It's stressful. Yeah. Mearls is putting WotC's money on the line. Their jobs are definitely tied to the success of freelance products as well as the products they write. [/QUOTE]
