Acknowledgments

Many thanks first of all to the original crew: John Kim, Liz Henry, Cullen Grace, Mike Bathgate, Jim Wilson; I especially thank Alex Dent-Young, who generated more weirdness per square inch for this game than I could possibly have done myself.

Thanks also to the players of the short-lived second run: Stephen Mulholland, Chris Mills, Bill Brickman, and Tamara Duran.

Special thanks to Jere Genest, who took on the first draft of the actual Shadows in the Fog rules and turned it into something quite different, and better, and to the players of that variant: Bryant Durrell, Rob MacDougall, Jess Pease, Tom Russell, and Jeff Wikstrom.

Thanks also to all the members of the Forge who wrote in to make comments and criticisms, especially Piers Brown, “Spooky Fanboy,” and Mike Holmes, but not forgetting Vincent L. Baker, Ron Edwards, M.J. Young, Jay [Silmenume], Walt Freitag, Jonathan Walton, Eero Tuovinen, and Ralph Mazza, as well as the non-Forge suggestions and criticisms of Ken Hite, my periodic companion in historical weirdness lo these many years.

Extra special thanks to Trevis Martin, who volunteered to host this sucker on the web, right here. Check out the other cool stuff on his site while you're here! Thanks also for web-coding assistance from Bryant Durrell, who wrote the PagesWanted code.

Last but not least, many thanks to my friend Martin Fido, one of the world’s leading experts on Jack the Ripper, who deigned to look over much of the historical material and discuss it with me, even if he does think this sort of thing is pretty silly.
