Do you wanna be the GM?
Come on, let’s start a game!
I haven’t seen your notes in weeks.
You used to speak
of traps and dungeon flame!
We used to roll for treasure
and now we don’t
I wish you’d tell me why!
Do you wanna be a GM?
It doesn’t have to be the GM...

Okay, bye...

Such sad news, I really enjoyed reading his Forbes articles

I'm so sad to hear about the passing of Rob Wieland this weekend. He was a real pleasure to work with--always professional, funny, and kind. Our thoughts go out to his family and friends. He will be missed.

Just bumped into a colleague who's also into TTRPGs & he explained about campaign 4... Silly move on their part
