Quote from: Christopher Brady;959760Even more women, and somehow that's 'not good enough' for what?

It's not a question of what this is 'good enough' for. We are simply assembling a case-control style list, making it relatively useless for answering cross-sectional questions.

This thread is just a list, there is a whole other thread for the debate on the subject itself. Can people keep things from derailing here and any arguments they have to that thread.

Quote from: CRKrueger;959579You mean this one? Kind of surprised that one didn't cause more outrage.

What's outrageous about it?

It isn't, but keep in mind that people threw an absolute bitchfest over this supposedly sexist cover, so much so that the book was delayed a week while the art was altered. An attractive woman in tight pants with a possible allusion to tentacle rape could make for an easy target if the right people were paying attention and felt like raising a fuss over it.

Just about all of the female creators I know of have been listed already, but there are a lot who also work in other positions. There are quite a few who take on editor roles or similar jobs. I see this a lot with husband and wife teams. I think there are at least two such duos with the PEG bunch that does Savage Worlds.

Quote from: camazotz;959753Not really. Take this list we're assembling here, stack it against the list of male authors. 'Nuff said.

Lee Gold (Alarums & Excursions)

Lee Gold also did Land of The Rising Sun.

To be fair, that is a spectacularly unimaginative and supremely boring cover. But this is also OT.

I'd forgotten about that one. I was expecting a shitstorm more because of the one that came up over Aleena the cleric. And I never really thought so much about the potential tentacle rape allusion as simply that she appears to be using her arms to "enhance" her breasts by squeezing them together.
