[QUOTE="Eccles, post: 1581706, member: 5675"] Now that I’ve spoken to the others, I feel like I can say what I need to here. There’s going to be no update for the time being, as our roleplaying ‘family’ has suffered a tragic bereavement. Rod Kick (who played Yvgeny) died this week, and we have all been far too stunned to do anything as normal as playing games. This may spill over for a few weeks, as we’re still all in a state of shock. We may use this message board to discuss our options and decide what we’re going to do over the next couple of days. As his DM, I feel it’s only really going to hit me when we next try to play, and this fellow of infinite patience, wit and talent won’t be there reacting to me. I wish you could all have known Rod, who one of my other players and I described as in our understated English way as “a good bloke”; but he was much more than that. Rod was an incredibly generous, loyal man who has always stood by his friends. For as long as I have known him, he has never had a cross word for anybody. Imaginative, friendly and giving, as well as incredibly hard working, the longer I dwell on it the more qualities I can think of to describe him. I only knew Rod for a few years, but my life is richer for having met him. In terms that will only really make sense in a place like these boards, he was an amazingly together guy, and he [I]always[/I] knew where his towel was. God speed, Rod. Our thoughts go with you.
