So, in the lastest magic book offering from Sean K Reynolds, he made Steven Schend a saintly paladin in Ilmater's service.
I also recall that in The Wyvern's Spur, there's a reference to an artist, Cledwyll, who is clearly inspired by Clyde Caldwell.
So now I wonder... How many other real-life folks have wound up as Realms characters? |

D'oh!  Can you believe I totally forgot about that until just now? Yup, good guy that he is, Keith let me name a dynasty after him in Tethyr.

I don't know if he well, but it seems that the Hooded One will. (Everything but that hood of hers, at least.  ) |

Eric made me a Morueme dragon in DDGttU and Ed named Hunter Alley in VGtW after two of his original players (Jim and Ian I believe). Ed has noted that the Realms has lots of 'in' jokes, not all of which have yet been revealed. maybe we should ping him on his thread to 'reveal all ...'

I honestly don't recall, as I've never met the man but remembered the story from Zeb and Jeff.
Now that there Thomas Reid feller's a Texan through and through....as are a number of my relatives, despite births around New England.

Well, I believe I was also the namesake for a bribeable guard in Song of the Saurials too (this about 4 months after I'd started at TSR and was by then Jeff & Kate Grubb's neighbor).
Other real folk namesakes.....very few immediately leap to mind, save:
Saint Sollars the Twice Martyred (Bloodstone area) = Ed Sollars, a TSR wage slave from before my time.
In Aurora's Whole Realms Catalogue, whitesmithed decorative armor and "naughty" drow swimwear et al was sold at Boom's Garden in Waterdeep (a thinly veiled reference to former FR editor Karen Boomgarden).
Sorry, folks, but those are the only refs that I can think of offhand right now.
