Thread: Lynn Willis

It has been some time since I came here, but I thought you guys might want to know Lynn Willis passed away.

Sad news. I knew he had been ill for some time but not that it was this serious.

On a different note drop by more often.

Very sad news. So many of the books I really rate from Chaosium have Lynn Willis' name (or one of his anagrammatic pseudonyms...) on them, as a writer or editor. My condolences to his family and friends.

Sad news, the elders of the first gaming generation are passing away. I don't believe I ever had any direct contact with Lynn, but certainly his work and passion at Chaosium made my gaming life better. Thank you, Lynn.

The name 'Lynn Willis' is emblazoned on so many of my beloved roleplaying resources, which makes him almost feel familiar to me. He must of been such an interesting bloke to have been involved with so many projects that have brought a great deal of happiness to those who utilised them. My respect goes out to this man, and my condolences to his loved ones. Sad news indeed

Sad news. Odd to have enjoyed so much of a man's work and not really know his face or much about him at all.

I have too many books with his name on them.

RIP

Self evidently any death is a tragedy for friends and family.

Lynn was one of the very few RPGs company honchos I ever had contact with and he was an absolute gent.


RIP

If that guy got a percentage off of all of the books on my shelves with his name on them, I may well have paid his rent or mortgage one month. Lynn Willis is likely responsible for about 35% of what I was thinking about in the late 80's and early 90's. Considering that the rest of what I was thinking about was female, bravo him!
