SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded).

And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I was hoping one of the usual suspects wouldnt slip in and start policing the pronouns. But that was wishful thinking obviously because the dead are prome targets for the moral outrage brigade because they cant defend themselves or tell these people to fuck off.

What do you think Jennell would think about this discussion? What do you think her living widow would say?

What do you think Paul's ex-wife and kids would say?
I'm a middle aged guy with a lot of free time, looking for similar, to form a group for regular gaming. You should be chill, non-woke, and have time on your hands.

Interesting enough, Paul's "Widow" was also a man who transitioned into a women.  I thought his "Widow" had always been a women.

I'm not sure why "widow" in quotations marks, that's a purely legal fact.

Anyway, if you get a chance, you should check out "High Score" on Netflix.

Here's the obituary. The funeral will be in Dallas on Feb 2.

https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/dallas-tx/jennell-jaquays-11623534

Regarding her family, the obit says:

QuoteJennell is survived by her wife Rebecca Heineman, brother Bruce Jaquays, sister Jolene Jaquays, her son Zachary Jaquays and his wife Jessica Jaquays, daughter Amanda Jaquays, her stepchildren Maria Heineman, William Heineman, and Cynthia Heineman, and four grandchildren who all love her very much.

Her son Zach is works in the video game industry as an FX artist, and he also contributed some art to her later work. From 2018 there was this summary:

QuoteJennell has a son (Zach), and a daughter (Amanda) who are finding their way into careers involving entertainment, despite all sensible attempts to warn them off.  Jennell currently resides in Seattle, Washington with her fiancee Rebecca Heineman and her long-time feline companion, Charlie.

I don't see anything by either Zach or Amanda within TTRPGs, but condolences and best wishes to them.

From the wiki:

--Jaquays had two children from her first marriage.--

Because it should be "widower".  That's a grammatical fact.

She was legally married, and her ID says she is female, which makes her status, as a matter of law, that of a widow. So you are incorrect, grammatically speaking.

They are both men.  That is a scientific fact. 
Scientific facts trump any State's particular legal obfuscations.

This isn't the time or place for a 101 on sex and gender. I think it's very simple, however, to acknowledge someone's legal name, legal gender, legal marriage, and legal spouse. Absolutely the bare minimum of respect.

LOL. Now now play nice. Ze's on the right side of history.

The ones that crawl in are lean and thin

Your brains come tumbling down your snout
Be merry my friends

I feel confident in saying Jennell was Jennell is an easy logical position.
