\chapter{Acknowledgements} A number of people should be acknowledged, first off the creators of the {Basic Roleplaying Universal Game Engine}, Jason Durall and Steve Perrin. I would like to thank Wizards of the Coast, for showing clearly that {\it Dungeons \& Dragons}, is perhaps not the system I would like to play in, before I had made any commitment to it. I would like to thank all the people who play, and create independent games. One specific person I would like to thank is Avery Alder who created, {The Quiet Year}, which was the first game I ever ran with other people. I also would like to thank all of those who have played games with me, even just at the setting up stages.
