Daniel Scott Palter

I was saddened to learn of the passing of my friend

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Palter

Writer, Employer, Dartmouth Alumni, Mentor, Patriot, Lover of cats

I am not a gamer but Mr Palter would be primarily known for the work he did with table top games

A life that took in the hedonism of Hollywood- Scott once described a lady friend in a fit of jealously putting a gun to his head when seeing him dance with someone else at an LA nightclub...
 Yhe sands and storm troopers of Tatootine- (He held the Star wars franchise for RPG) from the old hills of Croatia to the jungles of central America.. He watched the Wall fall, and lived through the Cuban Missile Crisis

I first met Mr Palter before the towers fell. After university on an AH list., I never met him in person, but we discussed many things. Peru, World War Two, the problem of the Picts. Coal dust air bombs..

Now the book is closed and the game is finished
