He was the director of Content and Game Balance. He died about the time AOS came out, which explains a lot.

Thanks for the info.. I figured he was someone special to UO. Thats the first time I have seen a headstone with a name on it.

He must have died before AOS cause powerscrolls/runics destroyed UO's original system leading to AOS.

How odd... I've have been by that spot hundreds of times and just noticed it a couple of days ago. Thanks for the link.

Heh, I looked that article up myself about a week or so cuz I too was curious.

Good story with the young lizardman...

"Tiggins turned around just in time to catch a glimpse of an axe sweeping through the air, the light from his lantern glinting off its edge, just before it cut into his old, tired body. The last thing he saw before the darkness closed in was the face of the lizardman holding the axe. A face that had already forgotten Tiggins, and was staring beyond him in fascination at the Mystic Sword still half embedded in the dungeon wall."

sooo

The story was a preview for the Despise invasion of Britain of early 2005. Mystic weapons spawned on invading creatures. It's all old stuff...
