Goodbye Balabanto

This is so very sad to hear.  Condolences to his family and friends.

Goodbye Mike, you're going to be missed.  What times we had around a table rolling dice.

My condolences to all who new him.  I never met him personally, but I always took great pleasure reading his posts.

Oh no. 

I'm only just joining the HERO community but I still send my condolences. Rest in peace.

RIP, buddy.

I never meet him personally, only Facebook, here, and I may of met him at a past GenCon back in the day. It is sad to hear that he passed. He will be missed.

For the short period of time I knew this gentleman, we had both heated/good debates, but he was always a gentleman with class, and we found a lot of common good things to discuss, beyond gaming.

I am sad that I didn't get to know him better, and wished I could've bought him a few rounds to enjoy his company and share wisdom.  His energy is now woven back into the Universe and perhaps one day we will cross paths again.

Until then, fare travels and adventures, kind sir...

My sympathies. 

I just heard the sad news, my deepest condolences.  His Journey to the Center of the Earth is fun and engaging and will always sit on my shelf with pride.

RIP, good sir. 

I have to say that I have interacted with Michael for years on a virtual basis. I staff at an online game named simply enough: Champions MUSH. It is a small community of players who use a text based medium to interact using RPG rules. Old school telnet stuff. But, Michael was a player there for years, and though he and I have no always gotten along, I have great respect for him. Our rules debates were things of legend. His loss is a loss to us all, and I will miss his presence there. For those of you who may not know what a MUSH is, it is an Acronym for Multi User Shared Hallucination, and yeah, it's gamer-foo  ... Michael, Rest in Peace. You deserve it.

Aftershock @ Champions MUSH

I ran his adventure "War of Worldcraft" a couple years back.   I'm really sorry to hear of his passing and I extend my sincerest condolences to his family.

I met Michael for the first time in 2016 at Chupacabracon in Round Rock, TX.  I’m so glad I got to play in one of his Champions GM’d events. What a blast! What a fun and energetic gamer. I own all his published stuff, which I bought from him that very day.

I have been gone for awhile...dealing with my own issues...I come back and see this...I am truly saddened by it.
