I should have done this a long time ago, but for those who knew him, Garin or Craig, lost his battle with alcoholism a few months ago and died. The last 2 years were very difficult for him and he had pushed his body to the point of no return. For those interested his friend wrote this memorial. I'm sure it would make Garin extra happy if next time you play WW you were extra brash and abrasive.

I'm very sorry to hear that. I didn't know him well, but I played a few ww games with him and I remember the wit and the temper that clearly come through the memorial. Thanks for posting it, morm.

That is so sad. Addiction is a terrible affliction and so hard to deal with both for the sufferers and the people around them. I didn't know him beyond the WW games but I certainly remember him from them - it was nice not to be the only volatile player!!!

I'm very sorry to hear that. I remember Garin as an exceptionally entertaining character.

*A black-cloaked figure rises out of the rift, which promptly closes.*

*the figure lifts its hood*

I have returned. How are things going in my absence?

Oh, and my thoughts go out to Garin. He was quite the werewolf, as I recall. Lasted quite a while in a game of mine, too, until he finally decided to surrender.
