Gone but not forgotten

Not THAT old, regrettably. Nearly all of them are in their 60s in that group - or younger.

I fear our collective general inattentiveness to physical health as a subculture is likely to skew results for many gamers by at least one standard deviation.

And yes, very sad.

I was talking about this with a friend recently. I was struck by how many of these fellows died before nearing the average lifespan.

Exercise and eat well.

John M Ford, who wrote a number of very good Traveller adventures as well as the brilliant The Yellow Clearance Black Box Blues for Paranoia, died in 2006.

That's sad. She was 56. That's way too young.

I just started an article for Jean Wells.

As there's even an albeit short English Wikipedia article for him and he passed away 15 years ago, I'll add Ulrich Kiesow one of the movers in the German RPG scene.

The German version of the article is much ore comprehensive, by the way.

Feel free to post about anyone who has died; I was just making a point about how more people have been dying within the last few years, and Jean Wells dying two days before I made this thread (unbeknownst to me) really hits home with that.

Someone just started an article on Don Turnbull from TSR UK as well; I guess he died several years ago.
