Rarely go to DF, but happened to see this tonight . . regarding the passing of Steve.
http://www.dragonsfoot.org/forums/viewt ... 11&t=72874
As many of you know, he was involved with the development of C&C and is acknowledged in the PH.
He was a longtime moderator at DF, as I was for a number of years.
I met him several years ago at GaryCON. Great guy even if he was struggling with his health issue.
Here is his last post here:

Well bugger.
Surprised no one has mentioned his being able to game at Gary's table anytime now.

Oh wow. I have even had Steve at my house for a week. I hope Steve has finally found the peace he was searching for.
Since its 20,000 I suggest "Captain Nemo" as his title. Beyond the obvious connection, he is one who sails on his own terms and ignores those he doesn't agree with...confident in his journey and goals.

He's gaming on a higher plane now. A good gamer gone too soon.
Heavy sigh.
