Special Thanks
- 2017/January 12: BTP: Night Horrors: Conquering Heroes
Thanks to Matthew McFarland who took a chance on me so many years ago. It is fitting that my very first published writing shows up in a Night Horrors book, and my very first development project is a Night Horrors book; both projects under the control of Matt, and both opportunities facilitated by him.

Dedication: The wise masters who Awakened before me; ... Matt McFarland, ... for paving the way as Mage Developers
- 2007/August 16: CTL: Changeling: The Lost Rulebook
