Lou Zocchi passed away last week. Apologies if this is a repeat.

His wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lou_Zocchi

He was a game designer, writer, publisher, and dice manufacturer. I have a few sets of his Gamescience dice in my collection. I had a few conversations with him at GenCon over the years.

Super nice guy who really enjoyed gaming and had a passion for dice.

Heard about Zocchi, was going to post here but somehow forgot. I had thought he passed away years ago, but apparently it only just happened. He invented the 100-sided die (the zocchihedron), and he was involved in designing some of the original plastic starship miniatures from Star Fleet Battles (I can't recall how he was involved, only that the minis were referred to as the Zocchi plastics).

My armies (re-counted and updated on 11/7/24, including modeled wargear options):
Dark Angels: ~16000 Astra Militarum: ~1200 | Imperial Knights: ~2300 | Leagues of Votann: ~1300 | Tyranids: ~3400 | Stormcast Eternals: ~5000 | Kruleboyz: ~3500 | Lumineth Realm-Lords: ~700
