D&D Luminary Jim 'Drawmij' Ward Passes

Very sad to hear. Rest in Peace.

And I never even thought about reading Drawmij backward, even though I had Jim Ward's name on some of my books.

Thank you, Jim.

Deities and Demigods is the D&D book from my early childhood that dramatically inspired and influenced my whole life -- not just my gaming life.

It was my first childhood introduction to mythology, culture and folklore; it was one of my earliest introductions to world geography in a sense.

It remains one of four books from my early childhood that I still reference and peruse (albeit nowadays for gaming rather than mythology, culture or folklore).

Thank You James Ward for writing the D&D book from my childhood that so significantly cast me on a Lifelong path of interest in not just D&D (now called 'Pathfinder'), but Humanities as a whole.

Drawmij is now hoping to roll a nat 20 in The Upper planes!

Damn.

A true loss.

May he rest peacefully.
