This is very sad news. Chris was great fun to RP with and to chat to in party or over ICQ, and he always had a solid, sensible, clear-headed way of looking at things. I regret that I never managed to meet him in real life. Lymphoma is a horrible thing, but from what little I know of Chris, I’m sure he managed to face it with as much courage and humour as possible. My deepest sympathies to his family.
(His character Ione is actually still on the DOT guildstone - once a DOT, always a DOT. She’ll stay there in his memory at least as long as I’m the GM.)
