Rest in Peace: Robert Alan Koeneke
Robert Alan Koeneke, creator of Moria the roguelike, has passed away at the age of 64.
EDIT: I don't know how tenable this is, but might I suggest the next comp be U/Moria, in his honor.

I think that I would have led a very different life had I not encountered Moria in 1990 or 1991.

I was so sad to read this.
 Most of the modern RPG and ARPG landscape is shaped in some way by him. RIP <3
