On Thursday, we received the tragic news of the passing of author Howard Andrew Jones, who contributed four titles to the Pathfinder Tales line between 2011 and 2017. In addition to his contributions to the world of Pathfinder, Howard was a stalwart of the modern sword & sorcery movement. He edited eight collections of literary giant Howard Lamb’s historical fiction as well as the sword & sorcery magazines Black Gateand Tales From the Magician’s Skull. In addition to his myriad accomplishments as an author and editor, Howard was a staple of fantasy and gaming conventions and loved chatting with fans and colleagues alike. A friend to many, Howard will be greatly missed.
