If you have any corrections let me know. Also I think it would be a good
gesture for everybody to write up a short paragragh, expressing their
condoleces to Nigel's family and the people of FASA. I'll compile it all
together. Does anybody have any idea where it should be sent exactly?

Uh, "Bona na Croin" is not my name, it's a letterhead. I'd like my real
name on the .card. Seems more appropriate that way.

I'm definitely going to miss Nigel's insights and storytelling. His work on
The Primal Order was excellent, his novels were entertaining, his Shadowrun
work was detailed and thorough.

Nigel's name on a book was a mark of quality. The entire role-playing
industry will miss him. Please add my name and work email address to the
sympathy card.

Thanks, Nigel. It was a good ride.

Well, my suggestion would be to his relatives or someone else close to him.
Since we don't have a snail-mail address (as far as I know), I doubt that
would work. Someone posted a message from a Usenet group here that explained
that Nigel Findley had died, so perhaps it could be sent to whoever put the
message on the Usenet group (she sounded like a friend of his). Or to
Adventures Unlimited, and perhaps ask them to pass it on to his family.
Anyway, that's just my ideas.

Well this is what I have so far. I'm doing the final editing tomorrow and
then sending it off (Where to?). I changed to a full name only format
because most people said that is how they wanted it and I wanted to keep
it somewhat uniform. If you see your name as an alias or as incomplete
name please send me your full name.

Thanks

On February 19, 1995, a piece of the Shadowrun universe came to an
end. With the passing of Nigel Findley, a part of all of us went with
him. His creative mind and literary talent added depth and emotional
complexity to all of his work. He will truly be missed by all Shadowrun
players and fans of his other literary works. The members of the ShadowRN
mailing list <SHADOWRN@*****.nic.SURFnet.nl> would like now to express their
deepest condolences to the family and friends of Nigel Findley.

"According to my sources, Nigel Findley was scheduled to attend
Texas A & M's WARCON a few months hence; although, at the last moment some as
yet undiscovered (by me) conflict prevented his appearance. I find it most
saddening to now realize the fact that this lost opportunity was undoubtably
the last such I would have ever been afforded to make his acquaintance."

"My shadowrun group and I always looked forward to Nigel's sourcebooks and
novels with great expectations. His death is a great loss to the gaming
industry and the world as a whole."

Add my name to the list.card. Jonathan Hurley AKA Quicksilver

As I look at my collection of Shadowrun products, I am amazed and
saddened that the best of them have Mr. Fidley as a contributor or
author. He left his mark writ large on the world of Shadowrun.
