[QUOTE="arscott, post: 2680141, member: 17969"] meh, I don't know enough about the particulars of various designers to answer this question particularly well. But: [B]Bill Slavisek, Rich Redman,[/B] and [B]Jeff Grubb[/B]-- The folks who brought us d20Modern. (plus Bill did alternity too, and Jeff Grubb's the only d&d novelist I've ever really liked.) [B]Ryan Nock, Monte Cook, Mark Rein•Hagen, Jonathan Tweet, Bruce Cordell[/B] and [B]whoever[/B] came up with the wealth system rules from the previous three. I'd lock them in a room and not let them out until they designed the best magic system in the multiverse. I'm probably missing someone, but I'll get them too. [B]Keith Baker[/B]. Not just because of Ebberron, but because he did that book on fey (which I haven't actually read). The fairy folk have been getting the short stick since elves became a player race. [B] Rich Burlew[/B]. He manages to skewer the nonsensical bits of the D&Dverse in his world designs just as well as he does in his comic strips. Also, his bitter rivalry with Keith Baker would make the whole event much more interesting to watch. [B]Pliny the Elder, H. P. Lovecraft,[/B] and [B]Neil Gaiman[/B] to write the monster manual. Plus, two of them have passed on, so hey, free undead. [B]Mike Mearls[/B] and [B]a big giant (but non-magical) sword.[/B] For use when anybody tries to make equipment factor into balance. And [B]Me[/B], to be god-emperor of the universe. Because someone has to be in charge, and I'll shoulder the burden if I really really have to. [/QUOTE]
