Just found out he died yesterday, so I thought a mention would be appropriate.
He was one of those people who guided Roleplaying from the early days, I say guided because he helped make it as good as it was. From Glorantha and Runequest to Pendragon and Heroquest he made table top roleplaying far better for his touch. He also showed the world of roleplaying how to take a literary set of works and turn it into a roleplaying game, his King Arthur Pendragon was a masterpiece and for me his best work.

Very sad to hear this, Greg Stafford was a wise man, and good friend. Hope he's travelling with the ravens now (or whatever his personal pyschopomp might be.)
If you are holding out for the perfect game, the only game you play will be the waiting one.

I did not have time to watch a three hour video, what I will say is the way Roman Christian, British Christian (akin to Celtic Christianity) and Paganism are portrayed in the book are reasonably historical accurate and true to the literature around King Arthur. So regardless of his own theological leanings, for roleplaying Pendragon did a great job on religion.
