Thanks so much for your awesome support, it's really appreciated. It's been a while since anyone's e-mailed me and kicked my butt about the clap trap in this book so please send some arse-kicking my way for the new year! I know there's still something that can be improved, some classes to be added we haven't thought of yet...maybe a cool idea you want included in the rules, etc. Challenger is meant to let you play any character, so what are we missing?

Enjoy, and Merry Christmas. May all your dice rolls be 20's! ***January, 18th Update*** The novel "The Vampire War" a comic fantasy, has been moved elsewhere on Amazon Kindle, but I've added the prequel novel "The End of The World" to the Challenger file. Enjoy! Our Mission Statement: Despite the low (or nonexistant) price of this product I've invested hundreds (if not thousands) of hours in its production. I've flown over 1,500 miles and met countless game designers, playtesters, and fellow gamers such as yourself, and I know Challenger isn't done yet. There's still a long way to go but I must thank everyone who helped me. This game would not be what it is today without the invaluable feedback from countless gamers such as yourself. If you have anything at all to say about the game, good or bad, I'd love to hear it. Any critical advice would be even more welcome. Thank you. --David L. Dostaler Author, Challenger RPG
