After an active game development career, the author produced source books for mostly desktop FRP games, working on RPG versions of Lord of the Rings and World of Warcraft, and Marvel Superheroes.
Bennie reportedly passed away this week due to complications from pneumonia. “If there’s one thing that’s going to last in my writing career, it’s going to be the dog’s name,” he said in a 2017 interview with his former colleagues.
