Erick Wujcik (1951-2008) 

Though he fought nobly and held on much longer than his doctors expected, Erick Wujcik died Saturday evening, June 7, 2008, of pancreatic cancer. His longtime close friend, Palladium's Kevin Siembieda, reports Wujcik's passing. Before his death, Erick received many fond tributes on ErickWujcik.com and on forums throughout the industry.

Erick was loved by roleplayers worldwide as the designer of Amber Diceless Roleplaying and author of many Palladium RPGs and supplements, including Ninjas and Superspies and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Other Strangeness. PARANOIA fans also know Erick as the author of Clones in Space (reprinted in Flashbacks 2) and the "Drugs" and "Psychological Tests" sections of Acute PARANOIA (reprinted in the current Mongoose rulebook).

Erick helped me with advice and information several times over the years, and I unreservedly confirm the universal consensus regarding his endless generosity, keen and enthusiastic intelligence, and copious talent. His death is a sad, sad loss for gaming and the many who loved him.

No, seriously. If you make non-commercial use of stuff here, that's fine, but we reserve all commercial rights, and all rights to prepare derivative material on things posted here. In addition, posters of comments must be aware that we reserve the right to use whatever material they post here, and/or derivative works therefrom, in PARANOIA, supplementary products, licensed products, or derivative work, without any compensation whatever, for all time to come and throughout this universe and any alternate universes that may be discovered. At our discretion, and without obligation, we may, if it strikes our fancy, make a good faith effort to credit you for stuff we use, but we can't promise it won't slip our minds, in the hurly-burly of meeting deadlines. (Actually, we intend to do that, but it's possible we'll screw up.) By posting comments, you grant us a non-revocable, perpetual, non-exclusive license to use whatever you post, in whatsoever fashion we deem useful, here or in any other forum, in PARANOIA or in any and all future products, including but not limited to derivative works, and specifically but not exclusively including the microbrewery beer, ale and porter; salty and sugary snack; and tattoo design rights deriving therefrom. Woohoo! Is that enough legalese for you? The Computer is Your Friend.
