RIP James Ward (1951-2024)

 James Ward, one of the pioneers in the early days of role-playing, passed away this week.  

A few tidbits, just in case you don't know anything about him: 

  • The D&D Character Drawmij, is "Jim Ward" backwards.
  • His writing credits included Metamorphosis Alpha and Gods, Demi-Gods, & Heroes (the 4th white book for original D&D. 
  • He wrote multiple of editions of Gamma World.  
  • I was a bit surprised he wrote far more novels than RPG material over the years.

Mister Nizz writes his memories far better than I do mine.
