He is most well known for Gamma World, Metamorphosis Alpha, and the AD&D Deities & Demi-gods book.

Drawmij was his character in Gary Gygax's Greyhawk Campaign.

RIP, Drawmij.

So sad to see him go. I bought a reprinted giant edition from him directly some years ago. Such a legend.

Thanks for all the monsters.

Always enjoyed Gamma World, and Metamorphosis Alpha was the first RPG I played.

Sad to see the creators passing…

I think I saw all of those on the shelf of the local toy soldier shop when I was a kid. Time marches on…
