Yes, it is indeed true, and very sad. In my opinion, he was one of the greatest mappers of SWBF, with his maps that were almost made out of nothing but his new models. The only good news is that he will return for SWBF II. He had MANY maps in progress, and now they have all been canceled. Well, go and read this sad news (it is kinda old news now): http://www.gametoast.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&p=31414#31414 - Majin Revan
