I haven't been paying attention to the RPG-verse at all over the past couple of weeks, so I only now learned that Aaron Allston passed away on February 27th.
Allston's contributions to RPGs, and in particular Dungeons & Dragons, are too numerous to list here, but I will note my particular fondness for the Dungeons & Dragons Rules Cyclopedia and The Grand Duchy of Karameikos, copies of which occupy privileged positions on my gaming bookshelf today.
Rest in peace, Mr. Allston. You're an Immortal of Mystara.
AKRATIC WIZARDRY: A blog wherein I scribble about role-playing games (Mythras, Against the Darkmaster, Dungeons & Dragons [esp. old school], Swords & Wizardry, Into the Unknown, Middle-earth Role-playing, Lord of the Rings Role-playing, Adventures in Middle-Earth, Crypts & Things, Call of Cthulhu, etc.) and RPG settings (Middle-earth, Cthulhu Mythos, Greyhawk, Lyonesse, Ukrasia, etc.). I also write about fantasy and science-fiction films, novels, art, TV shows, and the like.
