Special thanks to Allison Parrish for her help with the asemic text generation used in the "Runes" chapter of this book and Martin O'Leary for permitting the use of their fantasy map generator code for the "Realms" chapter. Thanks also to Caleb Waldorf and Maxwell Simmer for answering my questions about B-Ber, the browser based epub reader used to publish this book.
