It is with deep regret and profound sadness that we share that Brad McQuaid, Chief Creative Officer of Visionary Realms passed away in his home last night.
Brad was a visionary, a mentor, an artist, a trailblazer, a friend, a husband, a father. He touched thousands of lives with his dreams and concepts. He changed the landscape of video games forever. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered in life and in Pantheon.
Thank you, Brad, for bringing us together through your worlds. Rest in peace, Aradune.
All of us at Visionary Realms offer our deepest condolences to Brad’s family and during this most difficult time, we kindly ask that you respect the privacy of Brad’s family.

This will impact Pantheon development - just not sure in what way.
Also posted on massively.

I am 100% sure that they will immortalize Brad with Aradune NPC in Pantheon.
So our adventures with Aradune are yet to come!
I am sure it will halt development for a while to grieve, to figure out finances and how to go from there. I am sure the team will continue to develop to honor Brad's vision in Pantheon.
Wait, what? Oh I see. He worked on Everquest, Vanguard and Amazon Game Studios.
Wasted over half my life in Everquest
Thaanks for your contribution to gaming Brad , you will be missed
GANDALF: End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it.
PIPPIN: What? Gandalf? See what?
GANDALF: White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise.
PIPPIN: Well, that isn't so bad.
GANDALF: No. No, it isn't.”
RIP Aradune

Honestly @DMKano I am trying to figure out if this will hurt or help Pantheon. Will investors be more willing to put money into Pantheon hoping that people will jump in because its Aradune's last game or will they more likely turn a blind eye now that the main man is gone.
Also what does the team do now? I am sure they all shared a vision but the game is still in PA so the game could be widely different now with Aradune gone.
