Very sad and far too young.

That's sad to hear. I've never played any of his games but have only heard great things about them ... well except for that Family Guy game, never heard anyone mention that.

Sean worked at Gale Force Nine for thirteen years. He was instrumental in designing Spartacus: A Game of Blood & Treachery, Firefly: The Game, Sons of Anarchy: Men of Mayhem, Homeland, WWE Superstar Showdown, Family Guy: Stewie’s Sexy Party Game, Star Trek: Ascendancy, and beyond.

This is a list of F:AT's favorite games. So much of this hobby depends on smart, imaginative, dedicated individuals.

At his core, Sean was a story teller. He loved telling stories. His preferred method of telling stories was through imaginative game play. Sean wanted to make thematic games that told stories, games in which people could immerse themselves in the world that his games were built around.

What a tragedy- for his family and friends of course, but also for game design. His work on these games is among the best of the best. It felt like he was just getting started, too. Back when I wrote about Star Trek: Ascendency for the first time in these forums, Peter Przekop at GF9 told me that Sean had seen my comments and was thrilled that I had such a high opinion of it.

It's small consolation, but at least he left behind some games that will bring happiness to lots of people for years to come.
