Rick Loomis, founder of Flying Buffalo (publishers of Tunnels & Trolls and possibly the longest running still solvent gaming company) is fighting cancer. There are two ways to help: the latest Bundle of Holding (which has a bunch of cool system-agnostic fantasy RPG stuff, plus some other cool items), or his gofundme. Both can be accessed through this link:

Rick Loomis, founder of Flying Buffalo, is battling Cancer. As someone whose wife is also struggling with this, I know that means overwhelming medical bills. There is a gofundme set up for him, and also the new Bundle of Holding features a bunch of Flying Buffalo Stuff, and BoH is donating their usual 10% to the publisher's share to help. Here is the BoH link, which also has a link to the gofundme, so shichever route you want to go, you can find it here.

I'm kind of a new poster, hope this doesn't count a spam.

Very sad. Though I never played Flying Buffalo stuff, I know he had a major effect on the game world. RIP.

Well darn. :smallfrown:
Only just heard about this. At least he has a cool legacy?
Seeing someone who helped get a genre going like this die is always sad, but at least he'll be remembered.
