I gotta thank him for being one of the more humble GMs. He actually comes to us and asks for help and ideas, and I rarely see the word "HELP" come from any GM's text when refuring to players.
Just thought I'd add my thanks to the many others.

Rottcloar always has been, and continue to be one of my most favorite GM's ever. He's good at what he does, he's resourceful, humble, quick witted, and quite funny to boot. The perfect blend for a good GM, and he deserves any and all praise that can possibly be thrown at him.

rotty deserves praise for many things but most of all for being one of the very few gms that thinks of the *fun factor* as well as the game mechanics. he still remembers what its like to be a player which unfortunately many forget once they get thrown into the world of numbers and balance issues. over the years people have always loved gms that take 5 min out of their busy day to come down and say hi!!!!!!

Rottcloar has just resigned and he will be sorely missed. I just wanted to say one final "Thank you." to him here. He devoted a lot of time into familiars and other things for our enjoyment. He always made me laugh and was great fun. I'm sorry to see him go, but I appreciate everything he's done for us and I hope his life is filled with with happiness in whatever he does. Thank you Rotty! You'll be missed.

I've had a number of occasions to play with Rottie. Once he animated Quentin the mad healer of Shard and had him flirt with my ranger as he was healing her. On another he was giving a bunch of us at TGSE some very unusual pre-titles. I got to be Ham-on-Ryeka, and there was Hero Zeroe, and a few others- all of them hilarious.
Take care of yourself, Rottie. I'll never view a ham-on-rye sandwich the same way again!

I'm just gonna stop in a moment and say thanks myself.
Rottcloar was an awsome GM, especially with Familiars. I've gotten to talk to him on several occasions and he was a funny and twisted (just a little <grins>) person.
His work of familiars will be missed deeply and his underwater basket weaving classes will be as well.
I am glad I got a chance to chat with him, and had my familiar altered by him.
Many Thanks for your work, it is a legacy that will be hard to follow.

Happy Trails to ya,

It's not an undead panther. It just looks the part. :-P
