This Week: Jean Rabe (In Memoriam) + Dawning of a New Age
A special panel discussing honoring the life and work of Jean Rabe
A little more than a month ago, author, game designer, and longtime head of the RPGA Jean Rabe passed away. Jean was one of those people whose contributions to the hobby and the industry were rarely given the spotlight they deserved, so this week we’re hosting a panel discussion with a few of her friends and colleagues.
Scheduled to appear are author, game designer, and illustrator Stephen D. Sullivan, game designer and editor Kevin Melka, and editor Anne Brown—all of whom worked with Jean at TSR and beyond.
While they chat, Stan! will begin work on a cartoon homage to the cover for Jean’s novel Dawning of a New Age (painted by none other than Jeff Easley).
