Geese, Now David Drake... It's not my year.

David Drake has passed....

The amount of Traveller that I have run/played has been so inspired by him.

 

[Dragoner]

I like all his stuff especially Hammer's Slammers, it is very sad indeed.

 

[Vargr Breath]

Damn, I've read a ton of his books. He will be missed. Just re-read "Ranks of Bronze", "Foreign Legions" and "The Excalibur Alternative" a few months ago. And I was always a fan of the "Leary" books.

I love his RCN series. Very easy to take Navy or Scouts adventures from.

The only Drake I've read is Hammer's Slammers - but that's had an impact on how I approach SF gaming. Mostly because while I liked the characters, I didn't like the tech paradigm.

His loss is notable.

But, let's face it - they, like us all, get a limited time of useful consciousness, and we all will eventually join them in finding out what lies beyond the Mortal Coil.

Yes

Especially as its a very long time to tech level 15 and anagathics becoming available.

All we gotta do is get to Arrakis, TL 15 is for the synthetic stuff.

Or Norstrilia with sheep.

Stroon!

Beware of Mother Hitton's Littul Kittons!

My scintillating personality and rapier wit will be uploaded and incorporated into a global AI network, so I plan on being here quite a while...
