Static memorial sites are no problem; I can root them off the home page
like I did with the J.A.K. memorial, or I can change that link to a
"Hall of Meta-Heros" page, and link the static memorials off that (and I
think that would probably be the better option).

Dynamic is a bit more of a problem; I'm not sure I'm competent to handle
such magic as PHP, and I'm for sure not confident enough in my coding
abilities to hack ecmascript. Not to mention that my usual hands-on-my-
time issues means that I couldn't really touch it for updating more than
once every two months or so.

Finally, I'm not sure I could _design_ memorial sites for anyone; my
tastes are my own, my design abilities are focussed to my tastes, and
those are more-or-less on the minimalist side and probably couldn't do
justice to the honoree - especially for someone like Andrew Boulton, who
was the artist for a not-insignificant fraction of Freelance Traveller's
early covers.

Given the caveats above... Freelance Traveller is definitely an option.
