You may recognize his name in D&D numerous maps and these days, the Pathfinder series of adventures and supplements from Paizo Publishing. I did see him in the latest Fourth Edition revision to Forgotten Realms.
Lazz, as he likes to be called, is a cool guy and very talented.
Last year he gave me an indirect kiss off. Indirect? He never explained why, what or anything I may have done, said or not. It was rather heartbreaking. He even sent back a package of Pink Floyd shirts I had been saving for him. Darn USPS took three weeks to do it. Someone at his house actively rejected it, the markings weren’t automated.
Doesn’t matter. The objective of my site is to be positive, not always complaining, grousing or navel gazing.
I only hope his birthday is spent with those who matter to him. Lazz is one of the best cartographers I’ve ever met and his handiwork has brought enjoyment to thousands. Through Paizo, I am glad he continues to do so.
