Unless it is a credit for a piece of artwork I can visually look at, writing credits don't tell me much of anything. And they certainly don't tell me anything about the person's work quality.Let's take an example from the D&D PHB (this image from the FG version):[ATTACH=full]374666[/ATTACH]From this credit alone, is Bruce Cordell a 'good' writer? Or does he produce good ideas written horribly that an editor like Michele Carter has to spend hours and hours making presentable and usable? Did James Wyatt write 95% of the text or did he contribute a single paragraph? Which paragraph?Did the advantage/disadvantage mechanic come from one of the writers? Or one of the Lead designers or from those credited with Rules Development?I don't see how credits alone can tell us much of anything other than who worked on a product. Not the extent of what your contribution was or what you actually contributed (except for imagery which is often signed or recognizable). Certainly not the quality of work provided.Just look at the recent thread about the now infamous DMsGuild release.And how did "credits" help solve this?</blockquote>
