Don't know what this means for Omega Games, but that's hardly important right now.

Very bad news...
God bless him.
Just read of this on CSW. I had corresponded with him via email less than a month ago so it seems to of been sudden, whatever it was that took him. He'd been around the hobby for so long too. Prayers to friends and family~
Ranger is a wonderful game.
Very sad.

Huh. The very first email I got when I bought my current computer in 2011 was from Bill. He generously sent me a free copy of a RANGER module as a way of thanks for expanding the Wikipedia article about the game. My thoughts to his family and friends as well.
Damn.
He was a REALLY nice guy. I met him at one of the cons back in the mid-2000s. I had written him a few years back because my wife had 'accidentally' thrown away my copy of Eastern Front Solitaire, asking how much it would cost to get a new one, and the guy sent me one free of charge.
