Hall of Fame Inductees

Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman

As we begin to honor a generation of game designers who also made their mark as novelists, it’s important to note that it all started with two people -- Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman -- and one game line turned literary sensation: Dragonlance. Several of the other nominees on this ballot, as well as some already in the Hall of Fame, would not have had the opportunity to make their mark without the trailblazing work of Weis and Hickman. Their 10 Dragonlance novels (and 9 short story anthologies) were just the start for this duo, who have also contributed such best-selling fantasy and science-fiction series as the Rose of the Prophet trilogy, the 7-volume Deathgate Cycle, the Darksword and Starshield series, and the Sovereign Stone novels.

Settlers of Catan (Klaus Teuber )

A past winner of Germany’s Game of the Year award, Settlers of Catan is one of the most popular boardgames of the past decade. But for American gamers, it has even greater significance. Its success opened the door for scores of other great German boardgames to cross over to American markets, and gave Settlers designer Klaus Teuber a whole new audience to dazzle.
