all for their eforts. I would especially like to thank my parents for their support,
encouragement and understanding for not hearing from me as much during the past year.
I’d like to thank my girlfriend Yoko for her patience, love, support and for going to sleep
alone on many, many nights. hanks to my dog emma for lying beside me while I was writ-
ing and for understanding that I couldn’t always play when she wanted to.
I
’m very lucky to have been introduced to roleplaying games while I was young. I’ll always
I’m also very lucky to have had parents who always nurtured creativity and imagination,
and who were happy to have their son and his friends spend their weekends in the basement
playing roleplaying games all night, and it is to them that I owe the greatest thanks. of
course, without my friends I would never have experienced the magic of roleplaying games
or understood their importance and I owe them all thanks for the many adventures.
I would like to thank earl for sharing the ideas that were the foundation that Alpha omega
was built upon; without your talent and imagination, this world and game would not exist
and without your trust, I would not have had the privilege to work on this project. hank
you for being such a positive, excited, and dedicated co-author. You made every minute of
working on this game fun and I am excited for our next project.
What would become Alpha omega had its start way back in 1995. At the time my friends
and I were playing a number of diferent games and although I enjoyed them all, I wanted
nothing more than to create a game of my own - the kind my friends and I would love.
hankfully it didn’t quite work out.
I would like to thank Tom Mclaughlin for his hard work, dedication, and willingness to
handle the previously thankless job of dealing with the challenges of day-to-day business. I
am thankful for the opportunity to add a business partnership to our ten years of friendship
and I am ecstatic to be facing this challenge together.
Years passed and work on the game was painfully slow. It wasn’t until I met Dave in 2005,
and we started talking about our mutual love for games that things picked up. It was obvi-
ous from the start that we would be able to take the game to an entirely new level. Truly if it
were not for Dave’s incredible drive and talent Alpha omega would still be mounds of scat-
tered notes and iles. So to Dave I owe huge thanks for being the force that keeps us moving.
It was also Dave who introduced me to Tom who would quickly become an integral part
of bringing Alpha omega to life. While Dave and I landed the sweet jobs of creators, Tom
ground it out behind the scenes with the thankless (until now) responsibility of managing
the business side of the project. I owe him thanks for all of his hard work and the trust he’s
placed in Dave and I.
I would like to thank Sami royama for his amazing design work. Your talent, creativity
and patience are second-to-none and although we’ve been friends for over twenty years,
I’m astounded at the level of quality you bring to your profession. I’d like to thank Aaron
Panagos and Matt bradbury for their incredible talent and hard work. You both went above
and beyond our expectations and vividly illustrated the world we had in our heads.
I would also like to thank Gaston belanger, Mark ermenc, and David MacGillivray for
spearheading the testing and review of this game. Although they were humbling experi-
ences, our review sessions were brutally honest and invaluable. hank you for embracing
our game and providing your intelligence, experience and efort. he game is stronger from
your counsel, as am I. I look forward to continuing to work with all of you in the future.
Finally, the last year has been crazy beyond belief and I owe no one more thanks for their
incredible support, tolerance, love and understanding than my wife and son. Without them
I would most certainly be living in an empty apartment, unwashed, unfed, awake and glued
to a computer even more hours a day than I already am.
hanks again to everyone who helped us in any way; we are in your debt.

any people have helped us to create Alpha omega and I would like to thank them
remember lipping through the old manuals my friend’s uncle had given him, completely
unaware of the fantastic journey they would take us on and the role these wonderful games
would play in our lives.
