  1. A true pioneer in so many ways and a huge impact on RPGs.

    I am so excited Goodman Games is doing a Caverns of Thracia reprint. My 1979 version is to fragile to use at the table.

    1. I agree. I already picked up their reprint of Dark Tower.

  2. She put out some very creative stuff. I use her Central Casting books in all my games

  3. It would be difficult to over estimate the impact she had on gaming today. Not just her role in the early history of our hobby, but also her work on video games and her later activism. She will be missed.

    1. Yes. Very much agree.

      I hadn't known she'd been living in Seattle the last few years. While I don't move in video game circles, I'm still a bit surprised to have never made her acquaintance.

    2. Selfishly I wish she would have stayed in RPGs, but I imagine the video game money was so much better.

  4. I'm incredibly saddened to hear this. May she rest in peace, and my thoughts go out to her wife.
