Troll Lord Games

Dear Professor, you brought to us, in the early days, a world unrivaled in depths and non-standards... you gave to us Tékumel, the Empire of the Petal Throne, a world where many adventured, won, and were defeated, leaving a swath of enjoyment in the wake. Thank you, not for only your contributions to the RPG legacy but for being an absolute pioneer.

This was a downer to read - the news of Prof Barker's death. We're losing them all, and half the history isn't written yet!
