Friends, another soul is departing the RPS treehouse today. Ed has decided to lay down the mantle of reviews editor and rejoin polite society.
Come join me in saying goodbye. Ed started at RPS back in 2020. He had been working on Metabomb, another site operated by RPS's then-owners which was closing down.
We already knew how good a writer Edders, as we call him, was at that point - and what a lovely man, from chatting around the office - so we grabbed hold of him with both hands and didn't let go.
You ought to know Ed's work by now. He's been reviews editor around these parts for around 18 months, but he was a senior staff writer for over two years before that.
He obsessed over Valheim carrots, mused on grey carpets, and explained how badminton and Gears Of War were alike. That last one is a favourite of mine, as is Ed's similar piece on his favourite badminton player retiring.
