Volunteers Who've Contributed to Tales!

The redevelopment of Tales was an ambitious project, and the wizards definitely didn't do it alone! Work on improving and enhancing Tales continues even now that we've reopened, and we are going to continue to recognize those who have contributed.

Everyone listed on this page has contributed something to the game as a whole or for a particular area. We are deeply appreciative of all of these people, and put up this page so everyone can know who's been involved in the work to improve the game.

The tasks listed under each person's name are those that have been completed and submitted. Area leaders who've done work not associated with their area are also listed here.

Any volunteer who has 5 items or more in their contributions list is invited to send in a short note or quote that will be displayed under their name (see Kurtis and Morrik's entries for an example). URLs are fine, too, but please keep your quotes suitable for a PG audience.
