I was not sure where to put it, but at the end of this card, there’s the message: RIP Jack Vance without whom there would be fewer colours in fallen London.[li]
Now I wanted to ask:
Who was J. Vance? What did he do?
Dunno if it’s related, but the only Jack Vance I know about was a sci-fi writer, creator of the "The Dying Earth" series and many other books.

If you’re a fan of Jack Vance, I suggest checking out Gene Wolfe (Book of the New Sun) and Dan Simmons (Hyperion). Gygax was also heavily inspired by him.
