Just got word a bit ago that Lenard "Leomund" Lakofka passed away this morning.
Len and I got along well even when we had a difference of opinion. I likely talked about him more than any other old-school designer, save for Gary, Tom Moldvay, and Eric Holmes.
I had just picked up a copy of L3 and had mentioned to him I wanted to get it signed if he ever came to Gary Con or Gen Con.
I have a stack of his notes for the Town of Ulek he wanted me to go over and scan. Now I am not sure what to do with them.
I'm going to miss the guy.
My deepest sympathy.
ReplyDeleteI will miss Len. I enjoyed playing his mods. He was one of the original guys who help develop D&D and the World of Greyhawk. He like will will never come again. I enjoyed the Mods that TSR put out. It was exciting going to the book store to find the newest adventure Mod. I miss those Mods. RIP Len. Say Hi to Gary.
ReplyDeleteI will miss Len. I enjoyed playing his Lendore series. The Secret of Bone Hill was very enjoyable. I ended up finding the Blue Dragon Staff and cherish the Staff. I miss the old Mods that TSR put out. It was exciting to go to the book store to find the newest Adventure Mod to come out. I wish Wizard if the Coast would put out Mods like the old days. RIP Len! Your like won't be seen again! Say Hi to Gary!
