I couldn't help but notice that JW Mangrum has been removed from the authors list, as well as from the product developer list.

Considering his comments on the making of Denizens of Darkness (see the FoS at http://www.fraternityofshadows.com/Salon%20Pages/Denizens%20of%20Darkness.htm ), and the fact that many of the texts are the same between both books, I'd like to ask why ?

I wasn't involved in this book in any meaningful way, so I asked that my name be removed from the credits.

It does answer my question on that possible contradiction. Thanks.

What contradiction is that? The book I was heavily involved in came out three years ago.

Contradiction between the comments you wrote on DoDarkness and the fact your name diseapeared in DoDread:

As developer: Well for me it's nearly the same book, for 90% of the text is the same. Of course, stats have been changed to 3.5 and a few monsters added, by all the texts you corrected are still the same and thus bear your important earlier developments efforts.

As author: the monsters you wrote (marikith and the vampire strains) are in the 3.5 book.

That said, I was surprised to see your name out of the book, but since it's your decision to ask for its removal, I respect it.
