who would you rate as the others? I enjoyed troy Denning's work on the Dark Sun books, but not his time of Troubles books (written under a different name) seemed too much of trying to fit gaming rules into a novel and explain away mechanics as integral parts of the world, sometimes it works best if you ignore mechanics in the game when you write a book).

And Salvatore is good in one or two books but when it becomes a series past 3 books he seems to lose his direction (I count the homeland/exile/sojourn trilogy as a seperate beast from the Icewind Dale trilogy), and the Cleric Quintet was mostly good. as well.
