Gary gave me a new toy to try out, so I thought we'd experiment with a question that comes up a lot around here, who is your favorite Dungeon author? I only included authors that have had an adventure published since issue 124 (the beginning of Age of Worms). I also didn't include any of the Paizo staff members, I know you guys love us :)
Have at it!
Let me know if I left someone out.

oh thats hard, can we only vote one? Thats the absolute beauty of Dungeon magazine, you guys have so many great authors submitting (and getting published).
As a side note, I guess this poll would be more official than the one Nic Logue started in another thread (at last count it was several thousand to about 6 in favour of Logue over Pett)...

I'm rather inordinately fond of "Home Under the Range" from Michael Kortes in #134... and since he seemed to be overlooked.... I went with "other"....

OOOOoooooo! I love polls I just discovered these on a different board recently and they are too too much fun!
Don't worry Rich, I might have voted for you...
MUAUAHHAHHAHAHAHAAA!
Hey, wait, you're beating me...
Sadness. :-(

My vote goes to Tito...no doubt. There are so many talented mofos writing for the mag, but he's my headman.

I'm a Pettite myself, but otherwise I wholeheartedly agree with your sentiment - Dungeon has probably never had better writers than it has now. Keep up the good work, everybody!

I miss Erik Mona for that wonderful 1st-level adventure WHISPERING CAIRN... :(
So I had to vote for someone else... ;)

Voted for Matt Conklin due to some shameless pleading on WotC's Mystara board. :)

So why can't I vote? I see the results without being given the opportunity to pick...
And I'd suggest Dragon do the same thing - but I'm afraid to see my name with no votes next to it...

The Testament of Hosadus?!! That got my vote (Conklin, btw).

Hey I play to my base. ;) For the record I don't intend to vote for me. Too many cool people to choose from. And if you can it would be cool to get Mike Kortes name up top he really deserves it.
GGG

There are too many people to choose from. So many great and imaginative stories. Logue, Pett, Leati, etc. etc. What's a guy to do?
I voted GGG. It was tough between GGG and Mr. Wissel for the up and coming authors, 'cause both of those guys have written some truly creative and inspiring adventures.
Logue et al. have enough laurels for the moment (and deservedly so!). Time to give some spotlight to other also amazing authors.

Done
If you wanted to vote for Michael and you couldn't before, now you can. What's more, if you voted "other" cause he wasn't there, you can change your vote!

What a tough call.
Logue has had some very memorable adventures and characters.
Greg "V for Violence" has really dished out death in his work as well.
Gotta go with Pett.
It was a close one, but after Pett, they broke the mold.
By the way, I tried stuffing the ballot for you Richard, but to no avail. ;)
Tough choice; I feel like there truly are no bad writers that make it into Dungeon, and these writers really are very good.

Wha?! IGR, we're practically next door neighbors, man! Where's the loyalty to a fellow Las Vegan? Oh, yeah. Forgot. Not much of that in Vegas. Well, at least you and I share the same opinion of Rich. The man is tops. Tops, I tell ya!

How is Logue beating Pett? Somebody check if there is a statistically inordinate number of new isp's being generated in Hawaii.

Well, it certainly seems that advertising works, or at least hanging out on messageboards gets you noticed. ;)

Where the hell is Greg Vaughan to defend himself! So many great choices though. I think if I could choose a second vote it would go to Steve Greer. Great job on Tides of Dread and I also liked the and am going to use the item Fiend's Embrace for my STAP campaign.

I'm just player hating on you, Steve. You know how loyalty is in this town. I read your posts on Savage Tide pissed that I'm not a player in it. :)

Demogorgon's got me in a Full Nelson (which last I heard was still illegal) on the "Prince of Demons", so more lurking than posting these days. And let me tell you, old baboon face with all his tentacles doesn't understand the meaning of the words "inappropriate touching"!
Anyway, I'm waiting on the West Coast polling stations to close before I concede anything.
BTW, I voted either for Logue or Pett, but I won't say which, because I don't want to here any crying from the little kid or cause an aneurysm in the old man. Okay, who am I kidding? I voted for me. But you can't prove anything!

P.S. While I appreciate Rich's push for "Kings of the Rift", I think I'd rather stake my claim on a little adventure called "Torrents of Dread" that I like to call "IP for the entire Savage Tide". Thank you, thank you very much (in Elvis voice).

I couldn't vote for my favorite authors from the 90s, so I decided to get into the Logue/Pett internet grudge match, and sell my vote to the highest bidder.
After reviewing their ridiculous low offers of tea towels and bruised mangoes, I voted for myself.
I blame my Chicago upbringing. If the cemetery vote carries me to victory, hurray!

The fresh mangos I reserve for James Jacobs, Wolfie...sorry. ;-)
Oh wait, if you've been checking the Black Hole thread, then you all already know that I'm dead. This is probably some insidious WotC trick. They are using my isp to post their own evil comments up here...
No Age of Worms Hardcover...No! ;-)

You're my favorite too, but I couldn't vote for a tie or anything. Pett paid well in Styes adventures. ;)
