Stephen Fabian, TSR illustrator, has passed away. I loved his style and illustrations inside the D&D Gazetteers.
I didn't know him by name, but I sure recognize a lot of his Ravenloft art.
Nayeli Clemente has died.
It's always depressing when someone so young passes away. That heat is no joke though. I remember moving to Texas after living in Germany and Colorado and the heat and humidity was just oppressive. In the middle of football practice I once had to ask the coach for a water break (not something you typically did back then because we didn't care about safety).

I almost became a football-related August heat stroke statistic in Texas, too. It was the afternoon session of two-a-days, and I was uncharacteristically abused in my position as nose guard. The line coach pulled me aside and asked me what happened, then noticed my uni was bone dry and I wasn’t sweating…

I will say, to the coaches credit he didn't berate me when I asked for some water. Some of the other players scoffed at me, but I guess he understood that if I was asking for water I really, really needed it.

To my coach’s credit, he IDed my issue and immediately called for the trainers to get me into the shade, out of my shoulder pads, and drinking water.

And to be clear, this wasn’t a case of the staff & trainers pushing me too hard; I simply wasn’t drinking enough water.
