    By 2007, we were doing great things.  We published The Beast Within by Mike DeSanto and Jerry Blakemore wrote Skinwalker. The Beast Within starts with a strange auto accident that leads to a murder investigation.  This adventure featured our Fear Effects rules.  When we were playtesting this one, Preston was acting as our Game Master…
