I've heard today that one of my favorite authors, Robert Asprin, passed away some days ago. He wrote humorous fantasy and SF, with the "Myth"- and "Phule" series as the most known series.

Asprin was also one of the main forces behind "Thiefs World" series, in which several authors wrote stories with a shared pools of heroes in a given environment.
