Late last night we received word that Lou Zocchi had passed away.
Lou had his fingers in so many elements of RPG but his weird dice was one of the major things for which he was known.
Lou's weird dice would inspire Joseph Goodman when creating DCC to create a 14 dice chain as a mechanic. The reasoning being that part of the fun of D&D was grabbing these unusual shapes the first time and rolling them and he wanted DCC to have new unusual shapes.
For those that do not know ... I started making weird and unusual dice before I even learned bout DCC. I had all 14 weird dice in my booth at Gen Con in 2013 for a DCC set without even knowing that DCC used them. Fans of DCC noted this ... ran over to Mr. Goodman and he came over to my booth to check it out and in 2014 Impact! started making the first full 14 dice DCC sets.
Making dice for Goodman Games has changed my life and I know every day that my life would not be what it is now without Lou Zocchi paving the path that eventually led to Mr. Goodman approaching my booth those many years ago.
So a great force in the RPG and especially the dice part of that world winked out today ... so a toast to you Lou and a thank you for all you did to this industry.
