Title: Victor Milan is dead, alas.
Post by: Svengoolie 3 on February 13, 2018, 10:22:03 PM


Long time SF and fantasy writer, libertarian activist, gamer and honored guest at numerous conventions, Victor Milan, has died.

Vic liked RPGs and when his friend George R. R. Martin bought the chaosium RPG 'Superworld', he and others like Melinda Snodgrass created a unique campaign world called 'Wildcards' that became a long running series of novels. Vic was on the cover of a couple as the model for Dr. Tachyon.

He had a very warm place in his heart for SF films,  including B ones and loved Godzilla and other kaiju films in particular.  My last exchange with him was a discussion of Shin Godzilla. He frequently wore a dinosaur vest at conventions.

He was the permanent MC of the Archon annual masquerade.

I knew him, we exchanged on Facebook for years, I said hello to him at most Archons.

The world, and Fhandom in particular, has suffered a loss today. I mourn him. If I make it to to this year's archon I will see try to attend whatever ceremony is held in his honor.
