 RIP Ursula K. Le GuinPassed away at age 88 at her home in Portland, OR Monday 1-22-18 after several months of illness.
The Wizard of Earthsea was my big push into fantasy before I started gaming (unlike the more common Conan the Barbarian crowd) right alongside Tolkein and Lewis. Another icon for the genre now gone. _________________ "Rolling dice and killing characters since September 1976." "Author of Wardogs! and Contributor to Iron Stars and Starmada-Admiralty ed."

Re: RIP Ursula K. Le Guin R.I.P. !
I enjoyed 2 of her books, The Left Hand of Darkness and The Dispossed - excellent reads. Sheesh, it was probably about 40 years ago when I read them. I have The Eathsea Trilogy and have been wanting to read it . . might be a good time.  _________________ Count Rhuveinus - Lejendary Keeper of Castle Franqueforte "Enjoy a 'world' where the fantastic is fact and magic really works!" ~ Gary Gygax "By the pricking of my thumbs, Something wicked this way comes:" - Macbeth |

Re: RIP Ursula K. Le Guin A good author. Don't love any of her books, but I enjoyed them enough to read almost all of them. RIP.
