According to RPG.net, Larry DiTillio has passed away.
Within the role-playing games community, DiTillio is probably best known as the co-author of the classic Call of Cthulhu campaign, Masks of Nyarlathotep.
Masks one of those amazing campaigns that I've read and read about -- and want to run someday...
Sad news. RIP Mr. DiTillio.
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.
Sad news when I heard it---Larry introduced me to the games Incan Gold and Groo (the card game), and I played Cosmic Encounter for the first time with he and Tadashi Ehara at DunDraCon.
