The name “Kintara” is derived from a planet in GURPS Space Atlas 3. Sparriels are from GURPS Aliens. Wing-wyrms are from GURPS Space Bestiary. Aspects and terminology for the tech (especially biosuits and implant comms) are often drawn from GURPS Ultra-Tech. Selene Holmes created by Walter Milliken. All are used by permission of Steve Jackson Games.

The stories should stand on their own reasonably well, but for reference, here is the chronological order (which is not the publication order; “Leaping Lizards” was written first).

• Blackest Before the Dawn, available in the What Happens Next anthology.
• Spoonfuls of Sugar
• Recruiting Drive
• Wahnt (Leaders)
• Shadow of a Memory
• The Best Revenge
• What Really Matters
• Maternal Considerations
• Leaping Lizards
• Uniqueness Counts
• Shell Game

The short story Snips and Snails also takes place in the Kintaraverse, but contains no Kintarans.
