Pulling away the curtain of how these books are put together:

The Clan Generation Questionnaire was probably the most logistically complicated part of the book to write. Ian Cooper and I worked on it (basing it heavily on Greg's old Epic Questionnaire), then I rewrote large sections of it to make it fit even tighter with the Community Resources rules of HQ2. Somewhere around here are the pages of calculations I made to see what range of clans could be made (which naturally resulted in another feverish round of edits). Then Ian updated the description of clan values - sadly, I must have left Rebellious off that list!

Both are excellent ideas and something that I will put together for free download from the website.
