For clarity's sake, Zachary H. was not involved with the game at any level prior to its initial release.
He also wasn't involved in the creation of the Game Manual, though we took some of the critical suggestions from his original review into account, as well as suggestions from your reviews, James,

, as well as forum posts, as well as anything else useful from anyone interested enough to pick us out in the tightly packed, everyone-in-everyone else's undershirt mosh pit that is internet discussion of small press rpg publishers.
We also cribbed some text from some intarweb reviews of previous interations of our game for the back cover.
He don't work for us in a paid or unpaid, official or unofficial or even in a bikini chained to Jabba capacity. I think we do see eye to eye on some game design concepts, and disagree on some others. We're both fans of John Wick's crazy-revenge-fest
Houses of the Blooded. To my eternal sadness, after taking a look at his blog I suspect he prefers Palladium and Rifts and Greyhawk and Aces and Eights and d6 and a bunch of other games and products to Epic.
