Of course, the books have also been carefully edited and beautifully laid out by @evilhat.bsky.social. @ktwelves.bsky.social helped me with consistency (and everything making sense). @crislv.bsky.social offered gorgeous graphic design. @lulavampiro.bsky.social helped with tricky issues. ETC!

Wow. 11 years ago, my son Rory, then age 7 breathlessly delivered the rules of this game from the back of the car.
We then made it. Nice.
He’s 18 now, and we really should do an anniversary edition.
