And, dare I say it, the Superior Product [tm] if not the
*wealthier* one. (Is anyone involved in real gaming wealthy,
save perhaps Gygax and Co of Terminally Silly Rules Corp and
the flat-crack (various froth-inducing card games) people?)
Then again, when gaming, who needs anything besides pizza,
beer, and No-Doz? I remember a few Ogre/Shockwave/G.E.V.
marathons very well...one eventually degenerated into a game
of "Turtles, Turtles, and more Turtles" a la TSG, as there
were plenty of large empty boxes about.

Computer game designers that own a piece of the company or otherwise get
points (the last distinction being important - as I can personally witness
to, unfortunately). But I suppose that you're not refering to computer
gaming. Reiner Knizia is probably doing very well for a non-computer game
designer.

Steve Jackson's GURPS. Great system (but a little too complex for my almost
10 year old).
