I would have to say Mark Anthony, loved the Harpers books.

| Mel Odom - I would be pleased if he could finish the story Jherek, Bloody Falkane, and Laqueel. I really enjoyed The Threat from Sea. I just didn't feel any closure. |
"Even before he first walked the world as a mortal, Cyric had the will to resist the random call of Fate and make his own fortune. As his newborn soul stood before the goddesses, he cast a light upon Tymora's silver coin, blinding them to his presence. The deities never saw the coin fall, never settled their wager on Cyric's destiny. Thus was he born into the world without any fate save the one he himself could forge." -- from the Cyrinishad |

Dave Gross is writing the next Pathfinder Journal story (started in late August, runs for 6 months), but the one after that will be written by Jeff Grubb. No, it's not a Realms story, but Jeff Grubb fiction of any sort is always good news.  |

That's awesome news! Thanks Elaine.
And I'm something of a Dave Gross fan too, so it's a double-win.  |

::nods:: I've read the first five episodes of Dave Gross's story. It's a good tale and it really fits the tone of the setting (Cheliax). |

Oh, and speaking of Pathfinder, China Mieville is contributing an article to the upcoming game product RIVER KINGDOMS. That should really confuse the folks who sneer at shared-world writing. :)
::ahem:: Sorry for the thread drift.
The folks at WotC want to concentrate on the current setting, which is understandable, but since we're talking in terms of wishes rather than likelihood, I vote for a nostalgia feature on D&D online where novelist types can post stories about their 2nd and 3rd edition characters, and geezer-gamers can reminisce about walking five miles to play 1st edition D&D. In the snow. Uphill. Both ways. |

Neat. I'm almost ready to read City and the City, so this new work for River Kingdoms should indeed be fun.

What are these "crayons" of which you speak? In my day, we crushed roots and berries for dye. |

Mieville for Pathfinder, another impressive accomplishment by Paizo.
For the Realms I'd like to see the return of Jeff Grubb and Kate Novak, Elaine, Lowder, Emery and Zeb Cook. |

| It's great to see some kind mentions in these pages, which I haven't frequented in far too long. If some of you pick up Pathfinder and read "Hell's Pawns," I'd love to see what you think of it, either here or on the Paizo boards. |

I know the following author was not a Realms author but World of Greyhawk, though no one can argue about the impact he has made on all our lives.
I have only just found one of my treasured books of his.
Sea of Death was his 3rd novel.
Gord the Rouge has been an inspiration for many of my thief characters.
Gary Gygax.
I know nothing short of divine intervention could bring him back but I still wish he was.

I'd want to see some more Elaine too, but I'm going to stick my neck out and say I miss Troy Denning too. I know some of his stuff was a bit hit and miss, but 'Faces of Deception' and 'Crucible' are two of the quirkiest (for very different reasons) FR novels I've read and personal favourites of mine.

Your necks not that far out, I had Denning on my list also, mostly because of the Giants trilogy, but I have never read a book by him that I didn't enjoy. I have not read the returning Netheril books though, mostly because the subject held no appeal to me. |

Paul is just a given of course.
I second those who mentioned Mark Anthony, those harpers books were great. Also Elaine. |

And this is why I say Denning is very much hit-or-miss. I quite enjoyed Crucible... and I couldn't stand Faces of Deception. |

Yep. Me, too - although I think Sands of the Soul was far superior to its follow-up personally.
I'd also like to propose Ed Bolme. The Alabaster Staff was really well-written and had a fairly stupendous idea at its centre.
