Rhialto Is Dead! Long Live Rhialto!

Three days ago, the Master passed.

Jack Vance dead at 96.

Get your magic-users together, grab your grimoire, wrestle those spells into your head, and go kick the crap out of some deodands. Or scheme against each other endlessly. Either is appropriate.

And here's a good article about the man and his work.

I think I may just pull out the Dying Earth or Tales of the Dying Earth, or even the Dying Earth RPG this weekend for a read

RIP Jack Vance

Thank you for posting this, and especially for posting the link to the NYT article. I'm clueless enough that I didn't know he was still alive, much less that he went to the same college as me and lived about 30 minutes away.

I've only read the Dying Earth, I guess I have a lot of work to do. RIP indeed.

Alas, I've only read 3 Vance stories in my entire life. I too have a lot of work to do!
