To be clear: If “TTRPGs” in your scholarship, teaching, & outreach start & end with D&D — or even GMed games — that’s a skill issue you need to reconsider. You’re gonna get left behind.

Just found out that John Blanche passed away a few days ago. First discovered him in GW’s Fighting Fantasy gamebooks. His art is a huge part of my childhood love of gaming.
