The New York Times has an excellent obituary for Jennell Jaquays today, on the day of her memorial service. She was a legend. www.nytimes.com/2024/02/01/a...

Jennell Jaquays, 67, Dies; Unlocked Fantasy Dungeons for Gamers

She created scenarios with myriad paths for Dungeons & Dragons, levels for video games like Quake II, and art that invited novices to try role-playing games.

And always...always...just the nicest person.

Thanks for sharing that, Matt!

great obituary, I agree. It’s fascinating that both Jaquays and Sandy Petersen were level designers at id Software. I don’t know if it was the same time, I believe it was different games, but I wonder if they spoke about computer vs ttrpg design…
