RIP, Alan.
Alan's influence will be rippling through the hobby gaming world for many years to come, and he is gone too soon
Everyone raise an extra glass tonight in honor of a man happy to sling dice with any opponent, so long there was a good conversation during the game
When I asked him for permission to port some VPG games to the web, he sent me files and suggestions and even playtested the games. An absolute Legend.
