(For example, he wrote the cults of Uleria as a Moon Goddess because she had emotion-affecting spells and emotion came under the Runic Powers of the Moon and Waha the Butcher as an assassin cult) There was then a period of playtesting dead time, enlivened only by an exchange between Steve Perrin and Matthew Sprangue where emails were meant to be sent privately but accidentally sent to the forum. The gist of it, as I recall, went something like "I haven't been consulted or paid" and "Did you expect to be paid for what you had written", then things went downhill quite badly.

Hehehe, oh the drama!

Steve Perrin is the "creator" of BRP, which gives him a lot of credit. His "Steve Perrin's Quest Rules" wasn't that much to shout "hurray" for though (IMO).

Sverre.
