Last week, after a protracted illness, we lost an icon of the RPG industry, Jennell Jaquays. Up until a few days before she got sick, she was regularly posting pictures of miniatures she had painted.

No, I don't mean the corporate executives at Hasbro who tried to take away the OGL, I mean the kind of baddies that cultists and EHP's get their altars all bloodstained over.
