\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.
