A loss for the community as well as his family. RIP.[:(]

RIP. [:(]

We lost a great man !

in 2011 out of job Napoleonic Leipzig campaign my first game and three more others. I remember very well.
My best regards to his family.

Very sad to hear this, a legendary wargame designer and from all I've heard a great guy. We lost my wife's mother to the same kind of cancer. Hopefully someday in the future there will be a cure. Condolences to his family and may he rest in peace.

Sorry to hear this. RIP.

RIP, sad read this new specially for a young man that enter in his golden years, expect his family be all fine they can be on this situation.

Sad...

Brain cancer is one that today cannot be beat - hopefully it will be soon. It got my wife's Dad before I could even meet him (50). It sounds like he lived a good life and loved what he did - at the end of the day you really cannot hope for more than that. RIP.

RIP John Tiller.

Wow. Definitely RIP. I guess I shouldn't take off for a month or so. I miss things.

Sad news, I own several of his games. RIP.

😥😪😢😭😰

John was indeed a very kind man, and a brilliant one. I had the honor of knowing him professionally and, briefly, personally. He flew up to Vermont in his private plane with his instructor once and John and I had lunch together, and I had many phone conversations with him when I was in gaming journalism covering his titles. Later, I did some minor writing for one or two of his games, and IIRC I did a small scenario in a Panzer Campaigns title at one point, working with the estimable Glenn Saunders. Mostly, though, I remember his patience with the often extremely hostile feedback from rabid gamers back in the day, his realistic assessment of the wawrgame market, and his humane, honest, and respectful interactions with everyone with whom he encountered. He will be missed, for many reasons; wargaming is only one of them.

+1 to that theWombat
