For reasons I will later make clear, I'd like it very much if all of you who are writers or publishers of one or more RPGs, and who participate on this site, would come forward on this thread and be counted!
I'll start: I'm the RPGPundit, author of the RPG "Forward... to Adventure!".
RPGPundit
Does this include contributing authors to others' games, or specifically to those who have written their own game?
!i!
Well, there is me, with d4-d4...
It's in my sig. I also co-wrote Aquavita and Tribes of Mother Night for Chine Games.
-clash
Present.
Well, "among the beautiful creatures" is more of a work in progress, and Galactic Adventures is more like a beta for Galaxies in Shadow, Advanced Men and Magic is something I need to get back to as is Bare Bones.
So, yes?
I wrote and published one.
I'm working on three more.
My identity, however, remains simply "Vellorian".
hmm, Bill Corrie...no, really, that is my name. What do you mean it sounds fake?! Screw you and the horse you rode in on. What?!? You want I should call myself the Squirrelinista, Freedom Fighter of the Pepples! Sure, what ever makes you happy.:rolleyes:
Oh, and I wrote:
Tales of Gaea
Circuses & Carnivals
Another Man's Treasure
Shades of Earth
Austrian Holiday
House of Vega
Nebuleon SFRPG
Back In The Corps Again
Rehendi Prison
Roma Imperious
Roma Imperious True20 with Matthew Kaiser
Turris Lemurum
Squirrel Attack!
Squirrel Attack! the Board Game
The Pie Incident
Shaolin Squirrels
Squirrels Ahoy
Supers Inc.
Regicide
Imperial War
A bunch of technical articles for the RPG industry...meh, boring stuff.
I think that's it.

Let me guess, RPGPundit wants to be able to say that therpgsite has got more game designers on it than the Forge. :cool:
Quote from: Ian AbsentiaDoes this include contributing authors to others' games, or specifically to those who have written their own game?

Those who have either written their own game, or run a small press publishing company, and have published other people's games under their label.

Have any of these actually been published??

Quote from: Kyle AaronLet me guess, RPGPundit wants to be able to say that therpgsite has got more game designers on it than the Forge. :cool:
Not exactly, and I doubt that would be likely to happen; though we might be likely to have more game designers who's games have sold at least 50 copies than the Forge has.
But anyways, no, that's not the goal.
RPGPundit
Let's see wrote the setting in Tribes of Mother Night and then there was Hearts & Souls, and soon enough (summer) will be my FRPG--High Valor.
Does freely available PDF counts?
If so, I've co-created and published O Fortuna (game) and CREET (setting). Both are in czech language though.
Ok - I wrote Barbarians of Lemuria, 1940 - England Invaded and Babewatch (but they are free)
Also:
Tales from The Wood
Lashings of Ginger Beer
It's a Dogs Life
Go fer Yer Gun!
Medieval Murder Mysteries
And (for Heyoka Studios):
Medieval Mysteries 1PG
Battleforce Bravo Adventure Pack #1
Working on:
Wormhole Xtreme! 1PG
Mad Dogs & Englishmen 1PG
As far as complete games go I've only published one - The Veggie Patch. But I've also published a series of short PDFs to support generic space opera settings.
I've written a game and I've had some of my RPG writings published... But I've not written a game that's been published. Count it however you want.
I'm going to throw a monkey wrench here...
I haven't gotten any games published, but I've gotten three articles published in The Journal of the Traveller's Aid Society, have a regular column in Stellar Reaches (The Empty Quarter Echo), and have a couple of articles published in the same fanzine. All Traveller, all the time. :D
I'm not sure if this counts for your purposes Pundit, but I helped write True20 Adventure Roleplaying, I just was NOT the major Author. Steve Kenson did the heavy lifting, I was more of a contributor than the game's true author.

I'm the co-founder of SNG/ERSP and the author of Hunger: Zombies Must Feed, Vice Squad: Miami Nights, and Dreamwalker Revised (FREE PDF version in my sig in case anyone is interested), as well as Quick Play Adventures setting/sourcebooks WWII: Operation Jedburgh and Miami Under Fire. I've also got a few freelance credits to my name with companies ranging from Precis Intermedia to TSR/Wizards of the Coast.
Under SNG/ERSP we've published the QPA AAARRR!!!: The Treasure of Scurvy Jenkins written by Mike Lafferty, a d20 fantasy cooking supplement called Cooking with Class by Jason Wallace, and quite a few gaming aids such as Tavern Menus and Character Cards.

Only if free on the net counts. Galactic Adventures 1.0 and "among the beautiful creatures" 1.0, and now that I think of it Shadows 1.0.
I've also got a freelance credit with ICE in an upcoming product.

Dude! You hang out here? I'm just going to have to get a bit fanboyish, but fucking The Veggie Patch kicks ass! I'm prepping that for a one-shot for my community here. They think I'm nuts, but they'll see. That thing is chock full of exploration, conflict and adventure. Well done, sir.

He also has a credit in every one of my games. GA was a huge influence on StarCluster 2.

Thanks, Clash, though giving you an idea you really liked probably doesn't count as an actual publication credit. I'm always a bit embarassed to see my name printed in larger text then the names of the people who actually worked on the book. :)
I've written some German free games.
Plus, I wrote an article for the official German SR homepage, as well as a short-story for a German SR anthology.
(The last one is the only one that actually saw print, and it's the only one that brought me more then a wet handshake and a pat on the back ;) Although the cigarettes I churned through while typing and revising still costed more then all what I've got out from it.
When I ever want to get rich with game design, the first step in my plan has to be to stop smoking.)
Quote from: David JohansenThanks, Clash, though giving you an idea you really liked probably doesn't count as an actual publication credit. I'm always a bit embarassed to see my name printed in larger text then the names of the people who actually worked on the book. :)
I think I understand you feelings. But Clash probably made those choices based on how crucial he thought your ideas were to the final product coming out like it did so hopefully you've got a bit of pride mixed in with that [oh so Canadian] embarassment. ;)
I designed Dictatus Papae, a game of power, greed, and political backstabbing, in which the players play corrupt bishops in the medieval Catholic church, as well as the spies and hatchet men they send to do their dirty works. It came joint second in the Modus Operandi 24 Hour RPG competition (which had the brief of "design a game with an espionage theme based in an unusual time period"); there weren't masses of entries, but it was a pretty tightly-run thing, and included contributions from the likes of Malcolm Craig, designer of A|State and Cold City. The original version of the game is downloadable free from here (http://www.modus-operandi.co.uk/index.php?option=com_docman&task=cat_view&gid=83&Itemid=26); I'm busy finishing off my doctoral thesis, but once that's done I'll try to finish off the (greatly expanded) 2nd edition, which may be published by Modus Operandi's publishing imprint.
Oh, and when I was a lot younger than now, I wrote a couple of ideas for More Tales of Terror, a collection of adventure seeds for Call of Cthulhu that Pagan Publishing put out, and got published in that.
I wrote Divinity and some supplements as a PDF only (at this time) project. Right now, I am slowly working on another game called Destroy All Evil! The RPG resume is a bit bare right now.
Contributed to a lot of stuff, never wrote a whole book tho.
Same hear, have worked on a lot of the Avenger Traveller projects and also the soon to be released Translight.
At the moment Im working behind the scenes with Cubicle 7 and at present Doctor Who and another project Normal Texas.
Rog.

Make no mistake, I am proud to be associated with HinterWelt in that regard.
I was not trying to be modest so much as admit that I don't know if I fit Pundit's criteria, particularly because I don't know where he is going with this.
Quote from: blakkieI think I understand you feelings. But Clash probably made those choices based on how crucial he thought your ideas were to the final product coming out like it did so hopefully you've got a bit of pride mixed in with that [oh so Canadian] embarassment. ;)
I appreciate that, really I do, but my Canadian mind just can't get past the big letters...'sob'

Then where did Canada go wrong with Pundit?

I'm working on a couple of the best games ever!
I also helped publish the absolute worst (or best?) game ever.

Nope, sorry, in this particular case entirely free RPGs don't count.

My company, Tricky Owlbear, currently produces OGL/3.5 material such as the Behind the Spells and Behind the Monsters lines. I've also freelance written (as contributor and solo) numerous d20 projects but that information does not appear to meet your criteria, Pundit.
I've published some stuff and contributed to some other stuff.

Hi Tony Lee, welcome to theRPGsite! Yeah I was really sad to hear about the issues with Dragon Fist 2E. I really hope things get worked out and all your hard work on that game can get published.

OK, FWIW the 2nd edition of my game will be sold but the current version is free. Or do competition entries not count either?
wrote the Dead (http://www.mosierworks.com/projects/theDead/index.html) but gave it away for free...but it did generate $150 in donations to the ASPCA, so there's that.
I am a little confused as to whether this request for a core RPG only or anything related to RPGs.
For myself I have done

Me, nothing yet, but have a few things in mind when I carve out some time for them.

So, er, what was the point of the roll-call again? Were you wondering whether we have as many published game designers as the Forge has or something?

I wrote Dream, which is basically just a game to kill time. I didn't publish, but it's copyrighted, so there's that. It's really pretty close to FUDGE or FATE or something in spirit, though it does have a tarot 'alignment' system.
Ruel Knudson here with Ironwood Omnimedia (http://ironwoodnexus.com). We publish the E-RPG system, a universal system. We have released the Fantasy Sagas (http://ironwoodnexus.com/Products/1/), and a free demo of our Modern Sagas (http://ironwoodnexus.com/Products/modern-sagas-players-guidebook-beta-demo/)as well as an adventure and sourcebook. More on the way.
I am not much of a poster here, but I do try to get on and read threads about once a week. I had actually found this site through rpg.net, where I was somewhat active at first, until I got tired of sifting through Exalted threads ;).
Edit:
I've also decided to run a 50% off sale for our PDF books for theRPGSite. They are in my sig, which hasn't updated on this post, so here are the links:
