A couple of points:
(1) Add this thread to the "gamers don't recognize/care about author names"
data point pile (note to publishers: if you pay experienced writers more,
weigh the payment in terms of what you expect to save on editorial expense,
not expectations of name recognition)
(2) Am I violating the OGL or D20STL if I mention, in advertising for
Monte's adventure, that he wrote the Dungeon Master's Guide (which includes
a WotC trademark)? Or if I include that info in an "About the Author"
biography in the book?
