One of the founders of our hobby and one of the most unsung contributors to Dungeons & Dragons, Len Lakofka has passed away at the age of 76.
Along with the many adventures, classes, spells, and rules he created, Len was also father of the Suel in Greyhawk, designer of their gods, and namesake of the Lendore Isles.
The value of his work goes without saying, but his presence will be sorely missed. The adventures of Leomund go on.
I found a back-up file for the prospective Postfest village project, though what level of interest remains I have no idea. _________________ - Moderator/Admin (in some areas)/Member -

Locations were to be allotted and written up by participants, and I think many people did work on their entries. Could be easier to drum up interest using the newer social media avenues now too. _________________ - Moderator/Admin (in some areas)/Member -
