Design: Steven Trustrum with Christina Stiles Fiction: Lazette Gifford Additional Design: Robert J. Schwalb (Dire Hawk, Dire Raven, Technologist), Spike Y Jones (Dizwosina, Dry Powder, Ignite Powder, God Armor, Baton of Blunting, Volley Bullets) Editing: Christina Stiles and Spike Y Jones Development: Robert J Schwalb Art Direction: Christina Stiles Additional Art Direction: Hal Mangold Graphic Design: Marc Schmalz Cover Art: Jon Hodgson Credits Special Thanks Steven: I’d like to thank Christina for asking me in on the project and for providing many suggestions and ideas as it progressed. Thanks must also go out to my playtesters who had as much fun gaming in this setting as I had writing it. I also have to pass along special words for Radi who let me cancel plans with her when she knew I was in my “writing mood”; and to my father, Barry Trustrum, for doing a lot of the leg work on the research of cannons—without his extensive library and time I wouldn’t have gotten half of the information that I needed. I feel that I would be remiss if I didn’t also extend a thank you to Alderac Entertainment Group, Atlas Games, Eden Studios, Fantasy Flight Games, Badaxe Games, Sword & Sorcery Studios, and Pinnacle for the wonderful OGC material that I’ve included in this work. Thanks, ladies and gents! Christina: Steven did an excellent job of running with my vision; I hope you all enjoy. Thanks to Chris Pramas and the Green Ronin staff (thanks, Rob and Hal) for making this book possible, Spike Y Jones for co-editing and for being such a great friend, James Lowder for editorial assistance, and a special thanks to every publisher who adds OGC to the gaming community. <strong>SpirosBlaak</strong> is © 2004 Bizarro Games.
