RIP Otto Schmidt

News came early Monday of the passing of Otto Schmidt, long-time wargamer, prolific writer of rules and articles, and founder/organizer of "The Weekend."

I'm certain I'd bump heads with Otto over the long haul, but at a handful of conventions, he was a delight, a "fun curmudgeon" who did not suffer fools lightly, and was bright enough to know how to handle them. His games were always full of action, full puns, and full of fun.

The best way to show who Otto was without meeting him was this TMP thread.

His obituary was posted here, although there were still no funeral arrangements at the time of this post.
