He highlighted Jiangshi on Forbes, invited me to games and shared drinks with me. He was kind, generous and very honest. He was a rare kind of goodness and I will miss being catty with him.

Extremely sad to hear the passing of Rob Wieland. He was a beloved figure in tabletop and a friend.

Will miss our post-con chats, Rob.
