In addition to being a great writer, Howard was incredibly encouraging to me when I started writing, and his infrequent emails in support of my projects really gave me the confidence to keep going. It is with great sadness that I learned last week that Howard has since passed away. <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/a-call-to-help-howard-andrew-jones-and-his-family" target="_blank">The GoFundMe to support his family is still active</a>, though, and if you can't donate to that I suggest you <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Andrew_Jones" target="_blank">check out some of his writing</a>.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Davide Quatrini has released <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/506142/6-for-66-additional-agony?affiliate_id=253473" target="_blank">6 for .66</a>, a collection of six new monsters for Mork Borg.
