The swimsuit issue of Rifter dedicated to him seems kinda tacky to me, but so be it.
I loved TMNT, liked Ninjas and Superspies, and thought Amber diceless was okay. He had his fingers in a lot of other stuff too. Met him and he seemed a decent fellow besides.
I am not sure whether I think losing Wujcik or losing Asprin is worse. It generally sucks that they are gone.
I loved Amber, liked TMNT and thought N&S was Ok ;) Then again, Amber is one of my favorite worlds of all time, so that's hardly surprising. The swimsuit issue seems a bit much.
Hard to quantify worse, but I do think the world is a different and lesser place for their passing.
Okay, I have to ask why is the world a lesser place for their passing?
From my perspective they have already done their input to the system. They made a mark, and then faded away. Its not like there aren't imaginative people out there who are working on new things, who have their fingers into a lot of works.
*shrug* perhaps because I never really played most of those systems means that it doesn't mean as much to me....but they died and moved on. *shrug* I just don't see the world as a lesser place.
*shrug* Because they weren't done creating yet? The world ebbs and flows, and yes, it grows when new things come in, and shrinks when old things go away...
I think the world is a lesser place when anyone dies, even if it's not really measurable.
*laugh* I saw Marshall being unhappy with the swimsuit Rifter too.
I suppose it depends on the man and the nature of his relationship with the people doing it. From my own personal opinion, I think that a swimsuit edition of, well, anything would be amazingly cool if people did that for me when I die. I mean, it just fits with me and my personality....and I know others who would also find it a hysterical homage....
...on the other hand if he was the type of person who would have found it tacky, and his relationship with those involved wasn't especially close, then I suppose it would be tacky.
*shrug* never met the guy, never really played any of his systems, but I hope that in whatever form he's in he gets a kick out of people remembering him in a swimsuit edition of the Rifter.....
I think Marshall had more of an issue with all his stuff being auctioned off to support Palladium. That was a whole day ago though, so my memory could be failing me. It does that.
Nope, you were right. Maybe I should have checked before posting... Anyway, by all indications Kevin and Erick were good friends so I can't imagine Kevin would give the okay unless he thought Erick would have approved.
