Marcus King passed this morning following a heart attack over the weekend and an attempted quadruple bypass.
Marcus was a gamer, a member of the RPGnet community and a legendary retailer, the owner of Titan Games & Comics in London, Kentucky.
Over the decades, Marcus wrote scores of articles for RPGnet, for ICv2, and likely elsewhere, talking about the nuts and bolts of retailing, the dollars and cents, so that he help others to run professional stores that achieved his same success. There are likely many retail stores today that exist only because of his intelligent and carefully considered advice.
The majority of his RPGnet columns can be found Behind the Counter:
