Tributes are flooding in across the games industry following the death of game designer, artist, and transgender rights activist Jennell Jaquays, who died yesterday of complications caused by Guillain–Barré syndrome.
Even if you aren't familiar with Jaquays' name, she almost certainly had a hand in something you love over the course of her long career in TTRPG and videogame design. Jaquays helped shaped pen and paper roleplaying from the '70s onwards, creating and publishing Dungeons and Dragons adventures in The Dungeoneer—the D&D fanzine she co-founded—before designing and illustrating licensed modules like Dark Tower and Caverns of Thracia.
