'''Rick Swan''' was a game designer and critic for [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]] content in its first and second editions. Much better as a critic.

As 1e content goes, Swan did [[Kali]]'s bit for [[OP1: Tales of the Outer Planes]] (interestingly, alongside Deborah Christian).

Swan's DLE series, starting with ''In Search of Dragons'', has the dubious distinction of being the first module/s sold under 2e rules - before that edition's [[Players Handbook]] no less. At this point Swan didn't ''know'' all the rules, so had to develop based on 1e; and [[You Know Who|Lorraine Williams]] [[derp|wasn't]] [[what|letting]] her minions [[fail|test]] them. So the first module is sketchy and ''Dragon Magic'' outright mediocre.

Swan then kicked off the DLA [[Taladas]] series with ''Dragon Dawn'', leaving Christian to finish the rest - not to say, ''holding the bag'', as with his introduction of the Sesk [[Draconian]] and the [[bakali|hurdu]] which simply couldn't happen with the available space.

As a critic, Swan was on ''point'' with his critiques in ''Dragon'' of [[Carl Sargent]]'s ''[[Night Below]]'', which every prospective DM should read before venturing into that classic-but-flawed epic.

So: the Roger Ebert of his hobby.
