Not quite a gaming related thing. But significant to me.
Last Friday long time comic book writer and illustrator Vicky Wyman passed away. She was the creator of the comic book series Xanadu which is a fantasy setting populated by humanoid animals. The setting was interesting as the mythicals tended to treat the mundanes as second class citizens.
This is relevant to gaming as Xanadu was my second option for using as a setting for my first RPG book and I had talked with her about this and she was interested at the time. In the end I went with my first choice of Red Shetland and the rest is history. My first published book would have looked very differently in style and tone had the deal with GxP not gone through.
