Morgan Ellis died last night, and I heard that via my twitter feed, sufficiently euphemistically that, while I was pretty sure of what was meant, I did double check. I sincerely wish I'd been wrong.
I don't remember when we were last in the same place -- we'd gamed at various conventions, and he'd hung out with Josh and me a couple of times when he was in NYC -- but I probably have a good record of the games we played, as I take notes and (eventually) do write ups.
I feel absurdly like a padawan who's just lost their teacher. Morgan helped me _get_ FATE, and the folks who've enjoyed it when I ran a FATE game have him to thank for it. (I still respectfully disagree with him on a minor point, but I think his hack of not allowing Fate Points for defense rolls is spot on.)
