A very sad day. It's difficult to express what the man represented for so many of us veteran gamers - but I'll give it a try.
Greg Stafford was one of the greatest game designers of all times. And he was one of the very few authentic visionaries on our hobby. Some gaming authors manage to write classics. Greg Stafford wrote masterpieces.
Runequest gave me some of my first great RPG memories - and running the Pendragon campaign remains a milestone in my personal history as a gamemaster as well as an individual - the way that reading some novels can change you.
My condolences to his family and friends.
Adieu, monsieur Stafford et merci pour tous ces moments
