Thanks
Rob and Fred would like to thank their wives, without whom none of this would be
possible, and Jennifer Jackson and Michael Curry who helped make the possibility into
a reality. Lenny would like to thank: his two main internal playtesters, Dane Black and
homas Bates, for helping him with some inal kinks; the rest of the team, for shouldering
him through trials; Bridget and Samantha, for general moral support; and the Burton
Foundation gang (Cole, Willem, Brandt, and Andi), without whom the system used
for this game would not exist. Ryan would like to thank his irst gaming group, Sasha,
Frank & John, for introducing him to this great hobby. Chad would like to thank Fred
for hooking him on the DF crack, and Priscilla for deeply geeky setting kow-tows. Clark
would like to thank Jess and Allandaros for some translation and insight, his kids for
putting up with the insanity that took over the house for a while, and Rob and Fred for
the opportunity to work on a project like this. Amanda would like to thank Fred for
giving her the chance to work on this, Clark for dealing so well with a stressed out wife
who is also his editor, her kids for usually listening to “Mommy’s working right now,” and
the whole gang for making this crazy project a truly amazing experience—it’s been fun!
But most of all we’d like to thank Jim for his trust, conidence, and support over the
last several years, and for sharing the landscape of his wonderfully demented mind
with us all.
