    A fantastic read from a great man. Lawrence will be missed a lot, but I am glad we had the chance to have him work on the game.

    We need a bard song in his honour yes.

    Oh beardy man who wore a red hat
    You knew the lore and that was that
    You ran and took our scrolls away
    But that's ok because they make us blind mostly

    Or something much better than that yes

    Thank you, Lawrence!

    You're contributions to stitching together lore and story as part of an incomplete and ever-shifting patch-work quilt are appreciated, but also your memorable public appearances at conventions and on ESO Live.

    Safe journeys down the river, beeko.

    Lawrence Schick deserves his own npc as he was who kept the lore holy. He was one of the reasons tes lore advanced nicely.

    New adventure or family reasons? I'm confused.

    Master Schick,

    I'm not great at writing to people I don't know, but I'm a really big fan of your work and I hope to achieve as much as you achieved in life someday.

    Listening and reading the amazing lore you helped to build all those years, reading, listening and rereading conversations with Phrastus of Elinhir (your personification on Tamriel, I assume) I become inspired by how much can a man do and still have that playful and adventurous spirit. I bought Domus Phrasticus in order to have an excuse to talk about how much you contributed to the ever-expanding lore of the game.

    You are, among others like Noam Chomsky, one of my role models in life. I wish you great success in your future endeavors and handling those family matters.

    Peace and Happiness, our eternal Loremaster.

    Lore... lore ever changes. I wondered why the elves were marching from Faregyl to Aleswell. Apparently it was their way of saying farewell to master Schick. Thank you, sir.

    Their idea of transparent, at least when it comes to communication, bears a striking resemblance to a block of coal.lordrichter
    ... in the balance of power between the accountants and marketing types against the artists, developers and those who generally want to build and run a good game then that balance needs to always be in favour of the latter - because the former will drag the game into the ground for every last bean they can squeeze out of it.Santie Claws
