Like many of you, I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of
author and game designer Aaron Allston, who collapsed yesterday during
an appearance at VisionCon in Springfield, Missouri and died shortly
thereafter. His death effects me on both a personal and professional
level. On a personal level, he a gentleman in the literal sense of the
word: a gentle-man with whom it was always a pleasure to speak. I also
admired his work: The Circle/M.E.T.E. Was one of my favorite roleplaying
supplements as a teenager, and I also fondly remember Autoduel
Champions. (I mean: who doesn't? It ruled.) On a professional level, as
the current president of Hero Games I mourn the loss of one of the
creative giants of the Hero System and a driving force behind the modern
versions of Champions.
