Those of you who read my LJ will already have seen this news (and pic) but the RPG community has lost one its founders, as reported on the BBC. I can't claim to have known him well but we did meet on occasion over my years playing RPGs, attending conventions and we spoke on industry mailing lists. I wasn't a particular fan of his fiction, but as one of the creators of D&D and the RPG phenomena I've been embroiled in for the last 25 years, he'll be missed; without him, it seems unlikely that most of the games I've played (or written for) would exist, up to and including World of Warcraft.
