RIP Joel Rosenberg

[Russ Taylor]

Found out that Joel Rosenberg died on June 2nd of a heart attack. Another author from my childhood passes on :( I'd been hoping he'd come back to Guardians of the Flame again some day.

Aw, I hadn't heard this. :(

I guess we'll never find out what the Dungeon Master wanted them to do. Talk about dropped plot lines....

[JoelF847]

That's very dissapointing to hear. :( He was one of my favorite authors. I know he was working on something new last summer, but that it was taking longer than he had hoped, and he hadn't annouced what it was. Hopefully, it got completed enough that it can be published.

57 years old? So young! :(

I remember his Guardian series very fondly. Support vibes to his family and friends. They'll need it at this trying time.

Cripes. I was just thinking the other day that I wanted to dust off that series and read it again...

Man. I just found this thread and did not know this news. Bummer.

[Matt_Scudder]

Yeah, it's a shame, I still keep the hardcover of the first three Guardians books up on my shelf.

[Vincent Takeda]

D'shai had to be my favorite.

Oh jeez. I really enjoyed the first Guardians of the Flame novel but never got around to reading the rest. I didn't realize the guy was dead.
