The #Dragon Crown. With apologies to #JennellJaquays (1956-2024). A mere shadow of her original drawing from 1979.

Tonight, I would like you to know that when I was younger, I never considered playing a #Paladin PC in any #RPG, but then I had the distinct honor of being #JennellJaquays' flatmate for two years in Seattle.

If you knew Jennell, then you know she was a Paladin. Now, I get it. RIP, Jennell. We miss you. #FFXIV #DnD #TTRPG #TSR

FYI, Jennell was a great cook, she made a killer split pea soup, and was a very kind woman.

The next time “your characters meet at a tavern”, kindly raise your cups to honor the memory of Lady Jennell Allyn Jaquays, recently fallen in battle to the dread dragon Guillain–Barré, but whose contributions to D&D will live on forever. 🐲🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

This is a beautiful obituary of Jennell Jaquays, fantasy painter and D&D adventure creator.

Rest in peace / power and love to the family and friends. She was married to Rebecca "burger" Heineman who created the Bard's Tale 3 and many other classics.

I haven't had a lot of time to read this week, but I have been reading a few pages of The Caverns of Thracia each night in memory of Jennell Jaquays. What are you reading?
