[Disillusionist]

I met him, too, long ago at a Gemcon speaking to the tournament DMs.
Geeky as it is, it shaped a life path for me. The guy didn't spoon-feed his world to people. He left a buffet table for world-builders to fill their plate from.

In this really bizarre little altered reality in which many of us spend inordinate amounts of time, he created the clerics that will continue to resurrect him. Every time we play.

It's possible that he might even say he didn't create the worlds that followed, but like Tolkien, he was entrusted as a key-bearer to unlock some ancient doors. I hope wherever he went, his vorpal blade always goes snicker-snack.
