Liz Court blames her brother for all of this.

Shelley Harlan is an editor by day, and by night...is also an editor, because you can’t get too much of a good thing. She works for the the indie RPG company Faster Monkey Games and still can’t quite get used to the idea that people will pay her money to read gaming material. She also thinks it’s a fun game to see if you can spot the typo in this bio.

Carrie Harris is the official Evil Hat Productions marketing manager and official pink lion—her business card says so. Way back in the day, she got her start freelancing for White Wolf but left to work in a lab where they kept brains in jars on the counters. Now she’s brain-in-jar-free, which is a pity, but that gives her time to write teen novels for Random House including Bad Taste in Boys and Demon Derby. She also writes tie-in fiction for Evil Hat such as Sally Slick and the Steel Syndicate and the upcoming Dinocalypse Forever, and she’ll soon be returning to her RPG roots with the publication of the Young Centurions RPG, co-written with Clark Valentine. If she were a Fate character, one of her aspects would be Sparkly New Idea! CANNOT RESIST!!!

Mike Mumah has worked for the better part of a decade as a roleplaying game illustrator. His work has appeared in such games as Shadowrun, Rifts, Dead Reign, Part-Time Gods, Babylon 5, and several others. The Michigan-based artist is currently at large from the Briarsbrook Institute for the Criminally Insane and considered extremely dangerous. If sighted, do not approach him! He may seem very affable and friendly but don’t be fooled! Please call the authorities and delay him with free coffee, bourbon, and/or hot wings. He will take the time to enjoy this bait until he can be apprehended. This is for the public’s best interest.

Juan Ochoa: Gumshoe whistleblower reporter hero? A narcissistic antagonist out for blood? Fall-guy for a horrifying nanite invasion? Sleeper agent for extraplanar feline intelligence? The FACTS on El Mucho Colombianisimo: he is a straight-dealing, smooth-lined, grit-toothed artist, twainsplit mirror-master-magician-carouser-cavorter, and noted wizard, with ­knowledge bilingual, exotic, and esoteric, who theoretically does most of his thinking in Español.
