Timothy Ferguson lives on the Gold Coast, Australia. He spends much of his time teaching people how to use boxes of magic and lightning. He is a librarian.

Richard Love lives in New Zealand. He earns his livelihood by lecturing in engineering. Richard would like to thank his partner who made time for him to work on this project, despite rolling her eyes at the sound of dice.

Matt Ryan lives and works in Central New York, sustaining his livelihood by managing a large-venue auditorium for a major university. He would like to thank his friend Robert Llwyd for the use of his unpublished Ph.D. thesis on gender in medieval gilds, his fellow authors and editor whose contributions greatly shaped this book, and the copious and constructive feedback of the many playtesters who wrestled with earlier versions of this material.
