I wish to express my fervent 9I'atitlJde to all those people who play tested this game while it was
still
in
the
design
phase.
Their supstions and criticisms were valuable indeed, and
I
wouldn't have
cared to tackle
the
project without
the
assistance of the following: James "Bear" Peten, Michael
Stackpole, Paul (the crazy albino) O'Connor, Chuck Paquet,. Reed Andrus, Chuck Perrier, and Jim
Cooper. Yurek
ChocIak,
Morgan Conrad, Keith DeBissdlop,
T.
O. Green, Steve Henderson, William
Hodghead. Tony Hughes, Ken Kaufer, Charlie Krank. Fred Malmberg, Stevtl Maurer. Hal Moe,
Doug Pharr, Rory Root, Greg StaffOrd, Ray Tumey.
and
Shawn Wachtel were San Francisco Bay
area
testen.
Especial thanks for
the
critical looks
and
comments of Chester Hendrix, Ken Kaufer.
