A TheOneRing / Gaming Havens archive chat also lists Alread with [[Tom Lischke]].<ref name="haven">[http://haven.theonering.net/events/logs/decipher001.html Gaming Havens — Interview with Tom Lischke and Joe Alread], archive</ref>

Alread is '''not''' on Wikipedia's founding SWCCG designer line.<ref name="wp-swccg">[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars_Customizable_Card_Game Star Wars Customizable Card Game], Wikipedia (designer credit line)</ref> RFD 42's "Open champs" billing is '''pre-staff''' context per the research pack — do not backdate a Decipher staff title from that episode alone.
