I normally don't but I think I'd like to join in the festivities.
First, a few people I consider 'bros' on the board, in no particular order...
Dwarmin: For being one of the best writers as both a GM and a character in my opinion, and for being fun to write alongside. I still fondly remember that I was going to keep CvRTD as 5 players until he submitted Friar Greenmoore and I liked the character enough that I bumped the player cap, although that set a bad precedent and now I have ten peeps running about.
No worries, though.
Taricus: One of the handful of people I've talked to in IRC. We have quite a few personality quirks in common and he's one of the first people I warmed up to.
Tarran: One of the other first few people I started taking a liking to. I think of/tend to treat him like a younger cousin. :3 And, of course... FORE! >:3
Draignean: For general brilliance and crafting Dev-22. Of all the RP I've done across 14 years, Dominique Wakeman is, if not my favorite, at least second favorite character I've enjoyed writing for and I have to give him due props for creating and maintaining an interesting world and story. Additionally he's been doing good work with the Lovecraft-based RTD, although that's only a few turns in. ^^^
Second, the people I usually write with whether player or GM, in no particular order...

wolfchild
Darvi
Ahra
IronyOwl
Talarion: Gets a bit of a special mention for being the first person to join the first RTD I ever GMed. I appreciate the chance taken on my writing, and I hope it's entertaining. ^^^

Third, miscellaneous people for various reasons...
Logrin: For Boss Knight, and being an awesome artist in general.
Shook: For making me laugh with his takes on common DF occurrences.
Rephikul: For the intensifying mod.
Haspen: For showing faith in my writing and asking me to run a Fire Emblem RTD. I haven't finished working on the system yet due to getting waylaid with illness, but I haven't forgotten it!
Jonathan S. Fox: For doing his work on LCS as a labor of love.
Deon: For his work modding Dwarf Fortress and LCS.
Toady &
Threetoe: For DF, the creation of LCS, and starting this forum. If it wasn't for that, I probably never would have met any of y'all.
DarkerDark: For making me jelly as hell with his artistic skills. ;_;
Fourth, groups in general...
You Are King II
Castlevania RTD
The RTD subforum
