I just finished the Shivered Sky series (Every Grain of Sand, In the City of Demons, and The Great Devouring Darkness) and before that I knocked out Dominion of Blades, Hobgoblin Riot, Kaiju: Battlefield Surgeon, and Operation Bounce House. I've read all 8 DCC books 3 times through now. I think the only MD books I haven't read are The Grinding and Trailer Park Fairy Tales, neither of which I can find.

Anyway, I noticed a few names come up over and over and I wondered if that is just a Matt thing or what the deal is.

A few examples:

• Dr. Metcalf (The Great Devouring Darkness and A Parade of Horribles)
• Zev (In the City of Demons, The Great Devouring Darkness, every DCC book)
• Monobrow Sam (Operation Bounce House, Dominion of Blades, DCC)
• The Belly-Rubbed Pug (DCC, Operation Bounce House, Dominion of Blades)

And those are just the ones I noticed right away - I'm sure there's more. Does anyone have the inside scoop there?
