To be honest, at this point I'd be ok with anything that they do. Keep it going to honor his memory? I'm ok with that. Cancel it to honor his memory? I'm ok with that too. I just...Fuck...

...Roosterteeth said that he would want me to do something creative. Bring some happiness into people's lives. Make them better. I have a story where the RWBY team plays a 40k tabletop RPG. I'm gonna go work on that right now.
I wouldn't mind reading that when you finish it, it does sound like fun. :D

If it makes you feel any better, that idea of that did brighten up my day a little bit so you did what Roosterteeth said to do.

Didn't really follow much of the RT stuff other than RvB, (well a couple seasons of it) but my condolences to Monty's Family and Friends.

I haven't seen every single thing he's ever done, but what I have left me awe at his raw talent. Thank you Monty for your wonderful work.

I've already got the first chapter up if you're interested. (Dear God did I go full geek for this story)

Uhm... This is terrible, but isn't the title of this thread just a tad premature? I mean, that's... You know. Kind of awkward...

Oh. Well maybe the OP should be updated to make that clear as well, because it's ambiguous at the moment...

Ouch. To be honest I have no idea who this person is, but just given the date of birth it's clearly...
Well deaths are never happy events at the best of times, but this is just...

Wow.

Seriously!? Damn, that sucks. I may not have been a fan of RWBY or the later seasons of RvB but I could tell from what little I watched that Monty's animation work was phenomenal. My heart goes out to Rooster Teeth and his family. I hope they all are able to bounce back from this.

RWBY and RvB marathon tonight.

I'm making it happen.

...Man, this is just awful, awful news.. he was such an aloof, but nice dude in podcasts and other content I'd seen/heard him in. Just damn it.. 33 is too fucking young.

Damn that sucks. Monty had some real animation talent and given an extra ten years I think he would have improved in leaps and bounds.

How tragic. All love to his family, his friends, and his fans in their time of mourning.
