Chikout Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 https://www.warhammer-community.com/2021/07/13/white-dwarf-466-gets-nostalgic-to-celebrate-a-legends-final-issue/ Jervis Johnson, the designer of Bloodbowl, Adeptus Titanicus and of course Age of Sigmar has retired. I wish him all the best for the future and whoever takes over as the lead designer of AoS has massive boots to fill. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustAsPlanned Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 An absolute legend of the hobby. It’s a shame to see him go, but I wish the best of luck to him in future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jator Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 (edited) I was surprised when i read a special dedication to Jervis Johnson in the Dominion rulebook. Didn't figured out he was retiring, probably because I don't want to reflect about how many years have passed since i discovered the hobby! Reading that article was bittersweet. I haven't bought a WD in years but I might get that issue. Edited July 13, 2021 by Jator 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acrozatarim Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Damn - a well-earned retirement but I am sad to see him go after all these years. A genuine legend in the industry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron Klatz Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 More than a credit to the hobby he was a foundation. Here's wishing him many fortunes ahead in his well deserved retirement. And here's hoping that those that follow in his wake to bolster the Warhammer universes further share even a fraction of his enthusiasm for the hobby.

KingBrodd Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Truly an absolute legend, with an iconic voice. He will be missed, good luck to him and his family and may Sigmar bless him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNIBROWshapist Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Wow. That’s sad. Thanks heaps Jervis. Your humility, care for people and dedication has resulted in a lot of joy and community building in such a positive way. You’ll probably never know the extent to that influence. Appreciate you a heap. Enjoy whatever is next. ps. Time to find the Helanhammer interview for old times sake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
