Just heard that game designer and SF/Fantasy author Aaron Allston died yesterday. One of the best writers in games, and author of at least one of my favorite fantasy novels, Doc Sidhe

He'll be missed.

Damn. That's a shame. Wasn't he still pretty young too?

53, I think. Apparently had a severe heart attack a while ago, looks like this was another.

That's sad to hear. I remember Doc Sidhe, it was urban fantasy a decade before it's time, I read his Star Wars X-Wing novels, and I've got his D&D Gazetteers, and I'm pretty sure a Paranoia adventure too. 53's far too young.

Yes, he wrote a lot of good stuff - the sequel to Doc Sidhe was pretty good too, and there was apparently a 3rd book on the way, though I'm not sure what its status was. A very influential games designer too, he wrote for lots of different systems.
