This is a huge shock. Any idea of the cause?

I could only find one obit for him, but it appears to be on a mortuary site that may have been hacked and tries to install malware when I tried to read the obituary.

I was shocked and saddened to hear this. Rob and I only had a few interactions over the years, but he always seemed like a terrific guy. My condolences to his wife and daughter - how dreadful.

My condolences to his family and friends. It's always painful, but forty-eight is way too young to be leaving us. Rest in Peace.

My condolences to Rob's family and friends, and, since he was a regular writer here, to all the folks on the EN World team. It's hard to lose a friend.

As everyone has said, condolences to family and friends. I always respected his articles, even if some reviews I didn't agree with his perspective. He was a talented journalist, and the world's a smaller place without him.

We are saddened to learn that game designer and writer Rob Wieland has passed away. Rob was a passionate and dedicated supporter of the TTRPG hobby, and we loved to see his influential coverage of the industry in the august pages of Forbes, and at EN World. Our team members going to Gamehole Con later this month were looking forward to seeing Rob there. Our condolences to Rob's family and friends. Vale Rob, you rolled high to the end. — Chaosium Inc.
