Lynn Willis Lynn Willis (died January 18, 2013) was a wargame and role-playing game designer, best known for his work with Metagaming Concepts, Game Designers' Workshop (GDW), and Chaosium. ==Biography== Willis began by designing science fiction wargames for Metagaming Concepts, starting with ''Godsfire'' in 1976. He designed the microgames ''Olympica'' (1978) and ''Holy War'' (1979).〔 Chaosium published ''Lords of the Middle Sea'' (1978),〔 and Willis joined Chaosium in 1978.〔 GDW published ''Bloodtree Rebellion'' (1979). Willis's relationship with Chaosium proved the most enduring; he would turn to role-playing games. He helped founder Greg Stafford trim and refine the ''RuneQuest'' rules into ''Basic Role-Playing'', the rules that would serve as the base for many of Chaosium's RPG lines.〔 He wrote the ''Call of Cthulhu'' campaign ''The Masks of Nyarlathotep'' (1984) with Larry DiTillio.〔 He was included in the design credits for ''Worlds of Wonder'' (1982) and the ''Ringworld'' RPG (1984). With other members of Chaosium, he co-wrote the ''Ghostbusters'' RPG for West End Games, which won the H.G. Wells Award for Best Role-playing Rules of 1986. Willis co-designed the fifth edition of ''Call of Cthulhu'' with Sandy Petersen, and replaced Keith Herber as line editor of ''Cthulhu'' when Herber left Chaosium in 1994.〔 He worked with Petersen again for the sixth edition of ''Call of Cthulhu''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Chaosium Inc.(''Nameless Cults: The Cthulhu Mythos Fiction Of Robert E. Howard'')(''Secrets of Japan: Surviving the Mythos in Present-Day Japan'')(''Call Of Cthulhu, 6th ed.'') )〕 Willis created the game ''Elric!'' with Richard Watts as a new ''Basic Role-Playing'' version of ''Stormbringer''.〔 After Greg Stafford left Chaosium in 1998, Willis stayed on as editor-in-chief.〔 Willis left Chaosium in late 2008 due to health issues; at the time, he was the longest serving Chaosium employee, with 30 years of experience with the company.〔
