Jackie Cassada has passed away.

[Dion of the Fraternity]

Writer Jackie Cassada passed away today.

She was one of the key writers for various White Wolf products, particularly "Changeling: the Dreaming." Ms. Cassada also co-wrote for Ravenloft, including "Champions of Darkness," "Heroes of Light," and portions of the Gazetteers.

Please do include her in your thoughts as this dreadful year comes to an end, and a more hopeful one begins.

Rest in Peace.

I wasn't always a fan of her work, but that said, she was always very nice when we interacted on these boards and on private messages. IIRC, they collaborated in one of our April 1st pranks (announcement of false RL products). RIP indeed.

As someone just starting to delve into the older products, this is hard to hear. I hope Jackie's friends and family can come together (remotely) and reminisce over the joy and humor she brought to their lives.

May she rest in peace and her memory be a blessing.

I often had very negative things to say about her work on Ravenloft. But I wholeheartedly offer my condolences to her family and friends. This is a horrible year for all of us, and now they're having to cope with even worse news.

Terrible to hear this news. Condolences to her family and friends.

Bundle of Holding is having a special offering to raise money for her partner Nicky Rea, who also had COVID-19. There is also a link to a Go Fund Me on this page to assist Nicky with her bills.

Thanks for the link, Jim. Went ahead and purchased/donated-for the bundle.

Hadn't realized before that she and Nicky were partners in life and not just writing partners.
Heartfelt condolences to Nicky and a wish for a speedy recovery from the virus. The "Dark Duo" will be missed.
