RIP Bob Bledsaw
We lost Gary Gygax only a few weeks ago, and now another pioneer of roleplaying games has passed. Bob Bledsaw, founder of Judge's Guild, passed away this weekend.

Judge's Guild was the first "official" third-party RPG publisher. They received official sanction from TSR - for a while - to create a campaign world and numerous modules for D&D. Because, as Gygax and the others at TSR assumed, there was no money to be made in it. And - yeah, well, define "money." But still, it was a major part of the formative years of the hobby.

Bummer.
