I have been addicted to DM of the Rings (written by Shamus)...a quirky take on the Lord of the Rings Films as played by Role Players. In true Shakespearean tragedy (and I don't mean that in a flippant way) the juxtapostion was that the person writing it saw a fire in the garage next door and it turns out that his neighbour died in the fire.
The interesting thing is that Shamus puts so much effort and energy into its creation but he can't make any money out of it for copyright reasons...but he continues to entertain us anyway. He has, however attracted a huge audience and I'm hoping that good old Hindu karma being what it is, we can use that audience to generate a fund for the deceased's widow and children...and also his garden. Frank was a keen gardener and the fire (and the fire service's effort to put it out) destroyed his work, including a pond which attracted ducks which Shamus's children used to feed.
Please give generously, if you ever read this blog. You can click here to read about the. tragic event.
and I'm hoping that by the time you read this Shamus will have published his email address so you can paypal some money over.
:Edit: (18th June 2007) - I have now seen from Shamus's website that Frank's family have sufficient resources to restore Frank's work (and thereby his memory), so no donations required.
All the best
Ravs
