It has recently come to the attention of the NerdNews editors that we have recently lost a VIN (Very Important Nerd.) Chris Haney was half of the team who invented the board game which quickly became the cornerstone of countless Nerd parties - Trivial Pursuit. He was just 59 years old.

We think a perfect way to honour his memory, and his contribution to “our thing” would be to hold a memorial game of TP (any version will do.) If you really want to intimidate your would-be players bring up the idea with this bit of trivia, “Guess who recently passed away?”
