Late last night we learned of the passing of Greg Stafford, one of the best and brightest of his generation of game designers. I for one met Greg several times over the decades, beginning when I was an enthusiastic player of Runequest 1st ed. so long ago. His magnificent creations inspired myself and many another in our own creative efforts, just as his Glorantha with all of its mystery, magic, danger, and beauty inspired so many to turn to Runequest as their go-to game for Fantasy Role Playing.
I will go no further in this, as my own words and that of our team rather fail us. Suffice we offer Greg’s family our sincere condolences, and we wish Greg’s spirit of creativity will live on with his great works, and his amazing artistry will inspire new generations of talented minds to pursue their own dreams as Greg himself did.
May Kolat speed you to The Council of the Gods , Greg. May the Lightbringers greet you upon arrival with the finest mead and the countless honors you have earned, and give you the permanent place of honor at the head of the council table that you so rightly deserve.
