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?

Street Legal was in Space Gamer #57

I agree with Doug, Roadshow was absolutely magnificent, then there was his Star Trek masterpiece "How Much for Just the Planet"

CmdrX ran a variant of roadshow where the players were the actual band, high energy and high caliber
