Aaron Allston passed away yesterday at age 53. Most of you will probably be familiar with his work on Star Wars related books. I remember him most fondly from his early Champions work.
He was the editor at Hero Games who gave me my first paying work as a writer, and created the Strike Force supplement that really showed how to put together a long-running Champions campaign.
We roomed together at Minicon once, and corresponded about Champions for a number of years until his full-time writing career took off.
He will be sorely missed.
If you have an Aaron Allston story, or liked one of his books, feel free to comment.
