About the Author

J.C. Connors is a senior at Vanderbilt University, and a long-time GURPS fan. Other than deciding on a career, he spends his time on karate, running the university television station, painting, and trying to fit all of his GURPS books in his dorm room. He spends entirely too much time writing papers and sitting in the theatre's greenroom and can't wait to see the light of day. He's been writing his own games since he was about nine, and is very happy to see that they've progressed from crayon-written, stapled notebook pages to a real, published gamebook. This is his first GURPS book, which he'd like to dedicate to Michelle, a truly magical person.
