Our first bit of news is a bit of sad news, I'm afraid.

So, Jean Rabe, writer, editor, and journalist, has passed away at the age of 68.

She was a fantasy novelist for TSR and a writer for various game lines, Greyhawk, Dragonlance, also the Star Wars RPG, Battletech.

things like that.

She was a journalist before she joined TSR in 1987, and she was the first coordinator for the RPGA network.

Yeah.

If you're a Dragonlance fan, the Dragons of a New Age trilogy.

And also, I'm not familiar with these, but the Piper Blackwell Mysteries, which is a non-TSR series of mystery novels.

Yeah, well, sadly, Jean Ravers passed away at the age of 68.

I've never had the opportunity to meet her, but I was looking at social media and there were tributes pouring in in the hundreds from people that did meet her at conventions and who she mentored and helped and apparently was, you know, very, very much regarded as a wonderful, lovely person.

And there were a lot of people online, you know,

Yeah, yeah.

Right.

Should we move on to something slightly happier?

This is actually technically happier.
