I was saddened to hear that Scott Bennie died today. He was a brilliant writer who worked with us at Interplay on some true classics like Star Trek: Judgment Rites and Starfleet Academy. RIP.

And for you Fallout fans, Scott Bennie gave Dogmeat his name. He joked that it would be the thing that lived on in his writing career.

Scott Bennie was one of the best designers I've worked with. He was the first to give me a home when I came to California to work for Interplay and had a kind and generous heart. The world's a sadder place without you, Scott. Thank you for everything. <3

Scott was a wonderful person and a patient mentor, among his many good qualities. He was also an awesome GM, as many of his players can attest to.

Yesterday we learned that Scott Bennie passed away.

Thanks for posting this. Just heard the news. Glad to carry on that Dogmeat was his thing that lived on.
