Game designer Jim Ward has passed away at age 72. He was the author of many early D&D titles and Dragon articles, including Supplement IV: Gods, Demi-Gods & Heroes for OD&D (1976) and Deities & Demigods for AD&D (1980), both with Rob Kuntz, and the AD&D book Greyhawk Adventures (1988).

He created the first sci-fi RPG, Metamorphosis Alpha (1976), and cowrote the thematically related Gamma World (1978) with Gary Jaquet. Anagrams of his name appear in Greyhawk lore as the mage Drawmij, a member of the Circle of Eight, and the Dramidj Ocean in the far northwest corner of the map.

This THAC0 Thursday absolutely has to be dedicated to James M. Ward, whose recent passing surprised and saddened the RPG community. Among many accomplishments in the industry, James created Metamorphosis Alpha (the first published science fiction RPG) which was released from TSR in 1976. He wrote the game after urging Gary Gygax to make a sci-fi version of D&D, to which Gary replied "I don't have time, but why don't you do it?" Challenge accepted! He was also instrumental in the creation of Gamma World, which many think of as the planet-based Metamorphosis Alpha. James M. Ward: An RPG legend gone, an RPG legend remembered… on THAC0 Thursday!!

Way back in ancient times I used to play Gamma world and I have this distinct memory of this rad octopus lady on the cover. I wanted to draw her, but I was also too lazy to look up a reference. So if I got close to her design, then "Wow! Look at that cool fanart!" If I completely whiffed it, then "Wow! Look at that cool OC!"

"In the past several weeks there have been raids on several outlying towns of the Barony by mysterious golden marauders. Whether these creatures are robots, mutants or men, none can be sure for reports are scarce."

What Jim Ward meant to me

The designer of Metamorphasis Alpha and Gamma World has passed James M. Ward passed away the day before yesterday. Rumor was going around he was already at GaryCon, held this weekend, but I have no idea if that’s true. I think it would have added a level of versimilitude to his death if he had passed away at a convention honoring the works of his old company, TSR, and specifically bearing the…
