    Author Aaron Allston has died

    Author Aaron Allston, who wrote Starwars novels, GURPs and other roleplaying material, and some independent work ("Doc Sidhe", for example), died suddenly yesterday of an apparent heart attack at VisionCon in Branson, MO, where he was a GoH. He was 53.

    Damn. Im sorry to hear him pass. His humor in the star wars books was second to none and I often reread his books purely for the jokes. I knew he had major heart surgery years ago during writing a star wars book.

    May he find peace in the force
