Editorial : About the AuthorPeter Lockton, CBE, was born in Bristol, UK in 1934. An electrical engineer, he had 43 years' continuous service with one of the UK's largest power systems companies.

He loves to eat and you can probably see him and Ryoma (which he has a close relationship to) pigging out at the local burger restaurant. Chaosium gets a bad wrap from CoC die hards, because they produce so little new work, and are outshone by licensees on a regular basis. It is a gift for my brother-in-law who is a Dragon Boat racer.. So many are geared for girls. The only difficult part is that you have to find some of the ingredients, however there's some great web sites that can supply you with all the necessary goods..
