This is the first phase of the change to their website. Next year they will be upgrading their website so that designers are listed in a similar fashion as book authors or musical artists. Full Press Release here: irp.cdn-website.com/2b6905d0/fil...

This idea was first suggested to us by TTGDA member Tom Lehman (Race for the Galaxy, etc).

We are pleased to announce that Barnes & Noble @BNBuzz has stepped up and changed their site to include designer names. It may seem like a small thing, but we think it's an important step to having game designers recognized as creators by the general public.

If you search for "Alan Moon" or "Elizabeth Hargrave", for example, none of their games come up.

EXCITING NEWS: Most major mainstream online retailers of board games (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Target, etc) do not list game designers on their websites. One of our important initiatives has been to get designers listed by these sites.
