to CAR-PGa: The Committee for the Advancement of Role-Playing Games
I am sorry to report that one of our founding members, Paul Cardwell, Jr. passed away on Tuesday, March 31. He was 86 years old and was only recently diagnosed with cancer a month ago.

Paul held several roles throughout the life of the CAR-PGA, from Chair to Board Member to most recently as Archivist. He was CAR-PGA's living history and will be deeply missed. Our condolences to his family.

When we learn more about any services we'll be sure to share.

I'm a RPGGeek.com user helping to catalogue rpg publications. As
coincidences go, an active database contributor just noticed a game
designed and/or published by Paul in the 1980s. Is there any chance that
there's a copy of Mythworld in the CAR-PGa archive, or that someone on
this list has a copy?

It's not much, but adding Paul's game to the RPGGeek database feels like
a nice sort of tribute or acknowledgement. If anybody has access to the
game and is willing to let me know some details so I can enter the data
into the catalogue, please contact me.

I've put up a thread about Paul's passing. Should somebody put up an
obituary I'll link to it in the thread.
