ADMIN'S POST:
Pardon me if this seems creepy, but this is the Voice of Erick Wujcik.
Erick joined this group a while back and posted occasionally, and I wish he would have been able to post more becasue of the unique insights he has offered to the gaming industry over the years.
Erick invented the "diceless" genre of RPGs with the creation of Amber Diceless (and perhaps even before that) and has proven himself repeatedly to be a true Master of this style of play.
Over the years I have had conversations with Erick through snail mail, e-mail, and on message boards. Sometimes I was in direct contact, other times he was responding to thoughts or questions that others had posed. As time passed I began to compile a Word doc that had all of the Q&A stuff I could find, and I was careful to copy-paste his exact answers from those boards and other sources.
My plan is to make use of some of these quotes, but not to post them as the Admin but instead as if Erick himself was responding. I thought about taking over his account, but just couldn't bring myself to mislead anyone that Erick was still posting when clearly he was no longer able. That's where my idea came about for The Voice of Erick. Kind of like a narrator in a play, I will speak with Erick's voice on these boards but in a manner to make it clear that these are his ideas and not mine.
I hope this is a plan which others will find to be acceptable and in good taste. I hope that The Voice of Erick will be able to keep his spirit alive and with us.
