Easymodo: your top 5 most hated designers

>David Bowman
>Paul Jacquays
>Gary Gygax was okay I guess
>uhhh

I don't generally keep track on names.

Marc Miller
Michael Stackpole (for Legionnaire)
Jordan Weisman
Sandy Peterson
Steve Long

Hated:
Gary Gygax (my choice, obviously not yours!)

>Gareth Ryder-Hanrahan
>Graham Walmsley
>Dennis Detwiller
>Robin D. Laws
>Kenneth Hite

>Call of Cthulhu fanatic detected

Most hated is kind of hard, because the worst scenarios I've ever read are things where I don't remember the writer's name at all.

William Hamblin, Garnett Elliot, P Bongiovanni, Scott Haartman, and Laszlo Dozsa are the writers of the first scenarios that come to mind, but I had to look those up, they blessedly haven't had many things published.

I feel like that category is really biggest disappointment or most overrated.

In which case:
>Gary Gygax
>Sandy Peterson
>Ash Law
and I guess Oscar Rios, although I do actually like some of his, just too railroady.
Maybe Keith Herber? He had good ideas but way too pulpy.

Most hated isn't easy mode really.

Definitely.

Hanrahan has got to be my favorite though, even his non-cthulhu stuff. The One Ring is the only game I've ever played that got Tolkien right.

Not even a single mention of my nigga Dave Brookshaw.

Hated:
Luke Crane
Kevin Siembada
Ron Edwards
Vince Baker
Whoever the douche was that did DW

Best
John Wick
Kevin Siembieda
Luke Crane
Monte Cook
Byron Hall

Uncle Kev is a crook, not a designer.

Mike Merals is a cunt
Monte Cook is a faggot
Adam Koebel can fuck himself
Safe LaTorra is a cuck
Shane Hensley is a massive jackass retard.
John Wick should seriously consider suicide

On the other end of things, D Vincent Baker and Steve Jackson are pretty cool. Gygax is also a decent designer given what he had to work with at the time.

Luke Crane is a pretentious fuck whose shit tier system is full of so much needless specialized language and pointless bullshit that it takes a while to realize you just read 400 pages of nothing. Burning Wheel is shit, as is the "I'm totally not a adult version of Redwall for manchildren to feel less ashamed of being immature shits !" Mouse Guard.

You guys should lighten up. This is Veeky Forums, where every day is game day!

Vincent Baker did nothing wrong. It's the two dungeon world fucks who made DW into a meme and now every game has to be like that because a bunch of nu makes shills it and monster of the week ad nauseam

>Best
>John Wick
>Kevin Siembieda

Dohohohohoho!! You are amusing me so much today, tovarisch!

You were play with Monte Cuck and Luke Crane, though? They are two of the most pretentious tickets in RPG history.

Vincent Baker's games were plenty shit before Dungeon World.

>apocalypse world is shit
Let me guess... you hate it because it has sex in it? Grow up.

What's so good about Mike Mearls?

...

In no particular order
Mike Mentzer
Bruce Heard
Christopher Perkins (he did some interesting stuff in the 90's)
Ed Greenwood (I used to like FR before it got crowded)
Dave Arneson (I still maintain that without him Gygax would not have had shit to put into rule format.)

Even when your whole hobby is based on imagining stuff you still need to look up to some random faggot with starry eyes. I bet they laugh at other people for buying gossip magazines.
