About a couple of years ago, a very well known pillar of the DnD forum community, known as Wrecan, passed away and many mourned the loss of his wisdom from the boards.

There was discussion of trying to honor him in some way, and two years later the writers of the Order Of The Stick webcomic (OOTS) have added a character in his name. Coincidentally (wink, wink), this character acts as a voice of reason.
RIP Wrecan the man. Long live Wrecan the stick man. May he stick it to many an evil-doer upon the great drawing board.
OOTS #986

Edit: Is Veldrina his wife or gaming buddy? Or is she just a fan?
There was also a wise lizard folk sage named Wrecan in Ghost of Dragonspear Castle
I would daresay Wrecan was immortalized on these boards. His contributions were many and will be missed.
But yeah, an OOTS namesake character is a fitting tribute.
Awesome.
Very nice. I liked him a lot, and he deserved something like this.

Classy order of the stick. Classy 
I was wondering if Wrecan's family was aware of the character. He'd be thrilled, I'm sure. Awesome all-around.
I remember Wrecan from back in the day. He made the community a lot better with his wisdom and kindness. This is a very classy and fun way to remember him. I'm sure he'd be pleased.
Well done. Gives me the feels.
I still have all my old PM strings with him. Can't get myself to delete them.
A bittersweet honoring. I remember him from when I first joined the boards, and indeed, he seemed a good fellow. Sad to hear of his death.
