Woah, 2025 has been a terrible year for creators who laid so much of the foundations of our favorite franchises' fiction. Here's hoping there's not a third passing after Friedman and Shooter...unless there already was and I missed it.

He lived a full and long life. Really enjoyed what he did.

RIP Ron.
It's my understanding Ron had health challenges in the last few years. And a gofundme to pay for the medical costs.
Still, 93 is a long life. More than most considering the impact he had on the TF legacy & fandom.

I got to meet him and Susan Blu at TFCon 2022, and I believe I asked them about how they would write a TF video game. From what I remember, they said that there had to be a balance between gameplay and story, which is a challenge that could probably lie in how AAA games lean on one more than the other. Regardless, it was an honor to meet Friedman, and I want to send my condolences to his loved ones.
