It's perfect.

The underground walkway at the Salt Lake City airport, connecting the A terminal and the B terminal, is the most I’ve ever felt like I’m in the world of Bioshock. Just ominous vibes.

The first game played on Party of One was a Fate Core hack Rob Wieland wrote. He was a constant advocate for games and the people who make them, always working to spotlight games, introduce them to people, and lift as many boats as he could.

May we all do a little more of that in his memory. RIP.

Rob nailed it and he changed the way I look at professional settings forever.

And that’s a comparatively small impact against the tributes you may see in the coming days. He was a one of one and this world sucks more without him.

Rest in peace, Rob. Thanks for being you.

…personally I can’t tell you which to pick but I and the world will respect you more if in moments like this you’re aware of the corporate but commit to the personal.”

I’ll tell you from then on whenever I can, that’s the move. Commit to the personal.

I was having a really tough time with a decision on a gig once, and I called Rob for his advice. He said to me:

β€œNed, I don’t think I have any advice for you, but it sounds like part of you is thinking about this from the corporate angle, and that’s in direct conflict with how you feel about it…

I didn’t know Rob Wieland very well. Some really good friends introduced me and then through the world of Encounter Party and ttrpgs we connected periodically. We never shared a table, but quite a few laughs and conversations.
