Sad news

Well, I'm about 3 months behind the news, but I found out today (by pure chance, while random web browsing), that Erick Wujcik is dying of cancer. I only met him once, at Necronomicon a couple of years back, and he ran a fantastic game about Pi that we didn't get to finish, but even so it was one of the more memorable games I've ever played. Apparently we (well, I) got more mathematical theory into the game than most other teams had.

It's sad news. He seemed like a really nice guy.

Spoiler: I had a grand time busily theorizing about the set of all possible machine languages that would be able to execute Pi as a program that actually does something, and cheerfully expounding about the various different infinities. I played a character called Alain Connes, named after one of my favourite mathematicians (for whom I had to completely invent a biography, because I know only of his mathematical work).
