Special Thanks Edit

• 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.
• 2016/May 4: MTAS: Mage: The Awakening Second Edition 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 thanks also to Matthew McFarland
