Rest in Peace, Jeff

Scott Jennings has more details. I'm not sure if I can express this properly, but I was immensely grateful to Jeff for our online interactions. I started reading his blog when I first joined the Dungeon Runners team, mostly because he was (at the time) working for another studio in town being published by NCsoft. The more I interacted with him, the more I came to believe he was a genuinely wonderful person, as well as insightful and funny... and then he went and wildly praised one of my first big user-visible contributions.

The discussions that ensued, and his constant encouragement, had a huge impact on me and the direction I've gone since. I owe him a lot, yet all of our interaction constituted relatively little of his time; I can only imagine how many people he had that kind of effect on. My prayers go out to his family in this difficult time.
