What have they done lately?

Another one:

According to Wikipedia, Michael Dobson "switched fields yet again to become a seminar leader in 1990, with authorship of several management books, tapes and videos to his credit" and has also co-written a couple Alternate History novels with Douglas Niles.

Harold Johnson did work in the Seattle offices, I remember that quite clearly. He was in charge of Dragonlance all the way up until the end, I think (the last module was Rise of the Titans, published in February 2000?). I spoke with him at Gary’s funeral, and IIRC he currently lives in Beloit, WI.

Not sure when Harold got put in charge of DL. When I was at TSR (1984 - 1989), Harold had a few positions. Originally he was in charge of my department (design & editorial) and then he got bumped down and then over to RPGA and out of the design stream entirely, IIRC. He didn't have much to do with DL while I was there, except for co-designing DL12 with Bruce Heard (I edited that and it was such a nightmare I didn't put my name in the credits). I was line editor for Dragonlance almost the whole time I was there, from DL6 - DL16, the hardback, the re-compilations, etc. Yes, all the things you guys hate with a fiery, painful-rectal-itch passion.

I had been at TSR only a few weeks, helping out on Conan and an Indiana Jones module, when there was a big Dragonlance meeting (I wasn't on DL then, so I didn't attend). There was lots of shouting and then Michael Dobson (mentioned above by T. Foster) came storming out, stomped up to my cube, shouted at me "Dragonlance is all yours, good luck!" and then stomped off. The meeting had been about the credits for DL5, which was really just a source book that culled info out of the first 4 modules and compiled it. Dobson (who was the DL line editor at the time) felt his name should be on the cover as creator, while Tracy and others disagreed (I agree with them -- all Dobson did was compile previously written info, for which an editor credit is pretty standard). Bad words were spoken, Dobson blew up and quit as that line's editor, and that's how I became the DL series' line editor.
