R.I.P. Paul Randles

Paul Randles, formerly of Wizards of the Coast and more recently co-designer of Piratenbucht, passed away this morning at the age of 37 after a fierce battle with pancreatic cancer. He was diagnosed just last fall. He is survived by his wife Katty.

Paul was a robust, hearty man-- the kind of guy who always greeted you with a firm handshake and wide smile, and you never doubted it was genuine. He was enthusiastic about games and life, and will be missed by all who knew him.
