Lower the flags

John M. Ford, 1957-2006

Author, gamer, and wonderful weirdo. Out of all the things he wrote, my favorite had to be Road Show.. an Amber Zone article from the old Journal of the Travellers Aid Society that had the characters hired as roadies/security/stand-ins for the platinum rock band VeedBack. About four pages but is spawned possibly the best campaign I've ever run.

What's your favorite work by Mr. Ford?

Oh, just about fucking everything. I'd read that man's grocery lists.

One of my asshole exes stole his books--I used to have them all. Web of Angels is the one I miss most.

He also contributed to the Captain Confederacy comics, which I loved with all my heart, and of course Final Reflection and all the Klingon stuff.

Dude. I would have loved to play the Veedback scenario with another deadhead. Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. That I missed that!
