You may have read the story that Scottish actor Nicol Williamson is dead.
He played the wonderful role of Merlin in the movie Excalibur.
This is strangely serendipitous.
There are a number of both literary and aesthetic homages in my Barrowmaze megadungeon. It just so happens that one of them (by Stefan Poag) includes a very respectful tip of the (skull) cap to Williamson as Merlin. Boy, I am really glad that we did this illustration. Rest in Peace.
He also read a wicked The Hobbit that is amazing to listen to on cold winter nights, or really, any night.
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine just mentioned that earlier today.
