I went to find contact info for the guy because my boys are digging the "Myth" series as much as I did when I was younger, and I wanted to send him a 'nice note from a long-time fan.' Instead, I found this:

I am now bummed for the rest of the day :cry:

    It was sad. I met him once and he seemed like a good guy. Jodi Lynn Nye has taken over the series.
    Myth-Quoted comes out in December

    I think I knew this. I loved his Myth Adventures as a teenager.

    Board game? Did Phil Foglio illustrate it?

    That sounds like it would be a lot of fun.

    I loved Asprin's Myth series, as well as his Phule series. I've got the first two of the Myth series with the Kelly Freas cover art. Foglio's art isn't bad, but Freas captured more of how I view Skeeve.
