Many, like myself, thought the clues of the day lead to Percy. Fact #8 - The Gunslinger was a straight port from Pathfinder, the group's 1st system. Matt is the one who put it up on GM's Guild, but you can't say he is the original designer. Fact #9 - Addendum - Sam talked about Liam picking his character at a con after the "Scanbo Incident". This time he capped the story with a line something like, "And now he's the BEST ONE!" with his signature Cheshire smile.
